@creamqueen "Wow you're good at this, you should monetize your hobby!" is the kind of advice I sometimes get from people who don't get that the point of a hobby is that it's not work :wario_angry:

@creamqueen I also like the "Oh, you're into photography? Nah, with this camera it doesn't look like it, bud. The bare minimum you need to be considered as taking the hobby seriously is *insert 5k of pro equipment here*." crowd.
And they exist for anything that can pass as a hobby.
I was taking a look at "EDC" shit for ideas because I wanted to make a mini toolbox to throw in my backpack for when I'm away, and I fell into a rabbit hole of YouTuber after YouTuber showing their "bare essentials urban edc kit" and for gods sake these people walk around with 5 pounds of equipment worth $3k in their pockets everydsy.
