My two main hobbies are amassing wealth and being bad at finance so it probably gets me about 500€.
Found the (Republican) American!
Confidently wrong x 2
Two chicks at the same time.
Office Space in the wild! Love to see it
Another hobby. Two, if I’m lucky.
A decent road bike. Not top specced, and with none of the additional gear you’ll probably want, but you can definitely get started with €1k. I bought my current bike for approximately €700 and have upgraded + bought additional gear for probably a bit over €1k, but that has gotten me some really great stuff and I basically want for nothing in the sport.
Half of a full army, maybe some brushes.
A really nice bow, and probably enough arrows for a few years.
Seeing how my take down recurve easily cost 200, youve been set for life i think haha
A compound bow is a bit more expensive but not that much, and I also break a lot of arrows because of the kind of target we shoot at. In Dutch it’s called a “wip”, I don’t know what it is called in English. If you hit the metal part or the mast, your arrows tend to break quite easily.
Oh ye, makes sense. I shoot at a foam target we hung between 2 trees because we dont like the things you shoot at, but i imagine arrows die quickly haha.
Even we destroy each other’s arrows once in a while haha
You guys have stable hobbies…?
If you count “starting new hobbies” as a hobby, then I could get like 4-5 hobbies out of it, around 200-250$ is a reasonable buy-in for a new one.Surprised no one has mentioned: Audio
I would either get two bookshelf speakers or a set of Hifiman Arya organics. Or a used lcd-x. Maybe a few guitar pedals. Or a new guitar. Or possibly a synthesizer.
Two and a half hard drives.
Data hoarder?
One-handed media connesieur.
Yup.
I get 1 nice drone or 2 small ones.
Lost a 500€ infrared drone 2 days ago in a sugar beet field because “I don’t need the GPS when flying near the street” and then I was too high to make out if it was a deer or a rabbit and the powerline in between disrupted the radio signal, so the drone went into failsave and stopped all movement, getting carried by the wind into the field and it fell in a way that the battery disconnected… thank you for reading… I’m sad now…
If you had two infrared drones you could have started a rescue mission with the second one.
True! But only while the motors were hot!
Put one of those beepers that beeps when the battery has disconnected on there, it saved me at least a few times.
Damn that’s a shame. What resolution was the IR camera?
Just an analog one, the RunCam night eagle 3
A low-mid range PC. Maybe? Prices for components are fucking wack and I’m broke anyway, so I am not sure how far 1000 dollars would go rn.
My current PC was ~$900, built in 2019 and was for low-entry VR, or high performance in flat space games for 1080p res and 144hz.
Dnd A shit load of dice.
Bjj six months membership and the gi that comes with it.
DND: only dice? As a DM you’d piss through that in dwarven forge minis and sets
A mid-range direct drive simracing wheel, or a very nice ukulele.
A good number of games on my PC.
Anywhere from 3-100 books of sheet music depending on the books.
A bunch of used blu-rays.
A ton of used records.
A new set of speakers for my record and/or home theatre setup(s).
A new amp for my record setup.
A new pre-amp for my record setup.
A little over half the parts for a new gaming PC.
Around 3-5 vintage watches for me to fix up.
Some new tools for fixing up vintage watches.
About 7-8 pocket knives.
A new kitchen knife set.
Some new pots and pans.
Does alcohol count as a hobby? If so then 5-10 bottles of scotch.
Shit, I have a lot of hobbies. No wonder I have no money. There’s probably stuff I’m forgetting too. Damn.
Like 4-5 years of ancestry resources access, or maybe like a short trip to my grandparent’s homeland to do my own research.
Or I can buy like A LOT of thread and cross stitch material. A lot.
