There are two kinds of people who own a pressure canner - people who enjoy making preserves and fucking crazy people.
Did you know certain pressure canners can be used as makeshift autoclaves, allowing you to make your own home brewed sterile injectable medications?
Anyone using Linux, based on 60% of the content on lemmy. Uh… maybe also lemmy.
I am not in a cult.
This is not a cult.
By the way since you never asked, can I interest you in a new way to use your computer?
Linux
Warhammer
Crossfit
And Linux users are evangelical, too.
Do you have a moment to talk about our lords and saviours, Linus and RMS?
Ok, but have you used Linux?
I can't stop using Linux.
My desktop computer? Linux.
My work laptop? Linux.
My phone? Linux.
My robot vacuum? Linux.
Linux. Linux. Linux.
My work laptop? Linux.
I wish
Our safe™ work laptops are bought from a company that runs Linux on them that virtualize Windows
Throw in a Linux VM running under Windows and intensify the Inception noise.
Adults going to DisneyWorld as if it was a sacred shrine
Competitive Super Smash Bros Melee, we won't ever die. And Nintendo has been trying to rub us out since 2008.
Nintendo has been trying to rub us out
"Stop, Nintendo. You're just mashing it."
Time to salt Nintendo.
Warhammer. The tabletop one with the figures, not the video games.
Vacations/travel for some people. Its clearly something where they have zero clue about their privilege and zero self awareness as they talk about it.
Parenting. Seriously, it becomes some people's only fucking identity and the way they talk about it feels like religious proselytizing mixed with a bit of used car salesperson energy.
Comic conventions. Some people make it uncomfortable how seriously they take it.
Wasting some time on Lemmy trying to leave shitty comments just looking to rile people up or something.
Community theater can get pretty weird. (It can just as easily be not weird and awesome, though)
True, any gathering of current or former “theatre kids” is going to be weird. But that’s what makes them so fun. (Unless you hate show tunes. Then you’re in for a bad time.)
I think you need to specify what you mean by cult. The way I personally understand it, a cult includes a leader who exploits their members for free labor, oftentimes for sexual gratification, and removes them from their friends and families while subjecting them to psychological manipulation. I'm having a hard time thinking of a hobby that meets the criteria I'm more familiar with.
Arch Linux
CrossFit.
At this point, trading card collecting and grading. Oh, a new series of trading cards for pokemon or yu-gi-oh or whatever dropped? Time for all the adults to buy out every single card in the store and then run home in hopes that their scam leaders like PSA will encourage their behavior by gracing them with a card they claim is worth money despite only being out for less than a week.
Card grading ain't nothing but a scam, cult, and great way to encourage the worst in people, while simultaneously gatekeeping trading cards from everyone with more than 2 braincells. Ain't nothing gonna change my mind about it.
