There was a nicotine + adhd thread today in c/[email protected] and I got to write a few paragraphs about my favorite subject: anything tobacco.
I don’t know particularly what is so cool about it, but I just can’t get enough information on the subject. Old fashioned snuffboxes, cigarette boxes and holders, pipes… And the rich history and culture of each brand and style and how it evolved in every part of the world is just so interesting to me.
So it made me curious about what are some of the other more unconventional special interests around this community
Hmm … niche …
One I got from a friend of a friend is a taste in shitty old cars. Whenever I’m out walking the dogs and happen across an obscure or currently rare, but shit, car I’ll take a photo of it.
Everyone loves the “halo” models, the GTIs and Turbos, but I love to see a rusty 1.4 diesel that didn’t even come with carpets when new :-)
I’ve never ever found another woman to nerd out about old cars with, unfortunately, and most guys do the knowledge test thing which is most offputting :-/
