What hobbies do you practice that is other people's professions?

Just thinking about the little things we enjoy that is other people's way of earning, for example fishing.
I bake fancy sourdough, grow vegetables, do landscaping (but not mowing) make great cocktails for people, ferment foods and drinks. Occasionally draw things for decorations.
On the other hand, we pay someone to mow, and also to clean the house every other week.

"Cocktail" is more specific. Originally, it was identical with what's now called an Old Fashioned, i.e. spirit, sugar, bitters and water/ice. Later the term started including other alcoholic drinks like sours, martini etc.; I've seen people claim in discussions that's it's down to the amount of ingredients (e.g. a Rum & Coke is not a cocktail, but rum, cola and lime (Cuba Libre) might be) or a specific care exercized in preparation, but I think it's ultimately arbitrary.
Anyway, one of my favourite drinks is the Twice Up (whisky and water mixed 1:1, works great with many other spirits). Hard to call this a cocktail, considering adding water to whisky is just a completely normal way of drinking whisky in Scotland. The Scots just pour the water freehand instead of measuring an exact amount.
Cool, thank you for teaching me something

I have a bunch of hobbies but the two that I'm currently concentrating on are building guitars and working on motorcycles.
There are plenty of people who build or customize guitars for a living. I have sold exactly one that I built from scratch and that was probably 15 years ago.
I'm resurrecting a barn find motorcycle that I'll sell (or I'll sell one of mine to keep this, I haven't decided), but I'm not going to make any money on it because it's not sought after. I'm doing it for love. I'll break even.

I'm trying to get into creating electronic circuits. I'm terrible at it, though.
If youre doing soldering flux will change your lifeq

Apparently I study timekeeping so much that I can program a clock on a graphing calculator without using any timer function.
It takes a fixed amount of time to alter a pixel on the screen, and when carefully crafted, the pixel clock itself serves as a timer.
I'm actually currently testing such a clock demo on my Casio right now.
are there significant differences in pixel response as battery voltage goes down?

I enjoy learning vfx through houdini, id be doing it still if it wasnt so annoying to get on linux (im not paying for it, that 260$ a year cost is for me ppl making money and id do it if I was)
Blender is hella fun, like the ultimate sandbox game, cities skylines with no constraints (except much harder) I think with more and more addons it'll be the perfect sandbox creative city builder. Like procedural roads, cities, procedural terrain, buildings, etc. When the laxk of freedom in those games dissapoint you just make animations, the end goal in some of these games like planet coaster is to have something cool to look at and modify freely, the economy means nothing, might as well make it in blender.

Very good question!
At this moment I don't know for sure.
I've only been running it on consistent 5V USB power until yesterday.
I am keeping the voltage level question in mind though...

Gardening or more specifically raising fruit trees. Right now I got about 50 citrus trees growing from trifoliate orange seeds. Once they're ready I am going to graft lemons and satsumas onto them. I'm not planning to sell the trees, rather I'll gift them to friends and family.
I also propagate houseplants and gift them to friends, family and colleagues. Since they're so easy to propagate it's almost no effort.

I tried my hand at sourdough breads, but failed miserably. How long did it take you to become decent at it?

Welp, one of my 4 batteries died today (no worries on the memory on this model). I found a spare battery, but between that and switching back and forth to USB power, it does seem the calculator's speed might be lightly affected by voltage levels and even possibly by temperature.
Hey, ain't nothing perfect...

So many
Homelab
Buy broken electronics, repair, resell (so like microsoldering, diagnosing, etc)
Woodworking but I’m bad at it
Cooking
Music but I’m bad at it
3d printing/cad but I’m bad at cad
Language study 日本語
Pcb design and some coding related to this but I’m bad at it
It’s why I get the anti work people. If I could change careers every few years I would. I love learning about new stuff. I post a lot but most of the time I do that is either when I have idle time at work, before or right after work (although sometimes it leaks into weekends). I hate the phrase jack of all trades master of none, it’s cool to know about a lot of things

it doesn't matter whether you're good at it or bad at it. As long as you enjoy what you do, that's all that matters

This is so wholesome, planting seeds figuratively and literally. Cheers!

Oh man I would definitely watch a tv series on custom built motorcycles and guitars. I can already feel my moustache growing. Jokes aside, I love this kind of thing, have a garage full of creations, the grown man's playground.

I guess it doesn't matter since you can't look at it with a dead battery anyway.

I write screenplays for fun.
I've written a bunch of short films and one day maybe one will get produced.
I'm also kind working on a historical drama feature film.
I really enjoy the creative process and don't truly care if I ever sell one it get one produced.
