My... hobby? Which freaking one ๐Ÿซจ

My exact same thought. Just those that persisted over the years.

Any or all you feel like you have a good answer for!

Take badminton.

  1. Great exercise (number one sport along with tennis that increases lifespan the most).
  2. Socialize.
  3. Endless avenues of improvement, from footwork, racket technique, strength, endurance, strategies regarding service, returns, attack, defense, different ways of playing singles, doubles, etc, etc, etc.
  4. A way to get out of the house for a bit.

Cons:

  1. Expensive equipment
  2. Can't really do it by yourself

I'm also into speed cubing since a couple years back. That also shares the quality of having a lot of areas where you can improve. My records for 2x2 and 3x3 are about 1s and 19s, respectively. But the world record level cubers can solve a 3x3 in the time it takes me to finish the last layer. ๐Ÿ˜… But that's the beauty of it. The more you cube, the better you'll get.
