I hope you’ve enjoyed this huge list of hobbies. It didn’t get this big without your help. Feel free to share the list with a friend or the readers on your own site or share it via Facebook!
Why is gun collecting, weapons collecting, Civil War, etc not on this list?
are you serious!? After sandy hook, aroura theater, and Va tech, how can you say that?! you are as insensitive as a rock, and you have the brain of a slug.
Just because he collects guns doesn’t mean he’s a murderer.
Thank you ! Guns are not the problem its nuts holding a gun. Guns are what made this country free and its guns that will keep it that way. Responsible gun owners always get the shit because of a hand full or idiots.
Probably worse a AMERICAN.
Lol. Look at the date he wrote that, dipstick.
Wow everyone so worried about guns and weapons when they when they don’t even care about cigarette
Right! I mean with all the smoke it is killing more people of different types of cancer, than dumb people with guns. 87% of the USA smoke while only 43% own guns. Now being generous let’s say 50% of those people are dumb people with guns. On the other hand, 100% of those smokers no matter how hard the try, get smoke in the
air. You could be sitting on your bed with the window open and a little bit of smoke gets in your window, no that happens every day for the next three years, you lungs are tarred. But there are people walking in smoke, constantly. So many people suffer. And Trump won’t do nothing to stop it. America is a free country because of our soldiers. What did those soldiers use? Guns. The second amendment states citizens of the United States have the right to own guns. Guns created this country, and they will keep it in tack.
Yes, and those that don’t smoke even have to deal with it. That second hand smoke really irritates me to no end.
CIGARETTES . What hope have we got with all the pollution America puts into the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide from all the industries and then there’s all the Methane from 73% of the population that are morbidlly obese .
Wow CLAIRE, propaganda and ignorance consumes you. Perhaps you should keep your judgemental and uninformed mouth shut.
Don’t demoralise pacifists for their beliefs. I think you’re dangerous. Maybe you or I is over-reacting,but you suck.
Wow Claire…first of all, his comment was written way before Sandy Hook. Secondly, just because there is terrorism and people shooting up schools, doesn’t mean people can’t be active gun collectors/hunters/range shooters. It won’t make him a murderer. You’re one of those people who wants guns banned….it’s not the gun, it’s the person holding the gun. With that your logic, you’re saying you could kill someone if you held a gun because “it’s the gun”. Smh
Good point. On a slightly unrelated note, I would consider hunters as murderers, or at least very close.
Ryan… I live in Alaska and if we couldn’t hunt we would go broke because prices are so high here in the villages and we have to live off the land! Hunting is a necessity!
What about people who eat meat in general? If you eat meat from a market or restaurant aren’t you at least an accessory to murder by your reasoning? What if you don’t eat meat at all but still use products that use animals in there manufacture? Shoes, handbags, belts, wallets, glue, other food products. The list is endless in today’s society. Are you responsible for the death of these animals by using these items and supporting the industries that create them? This reasoning is flawed at the most basic level. I can appreciate your dislike of hunting in all it’s forms but it is most certainly not murder or even close.
Ok the dictionary definition of MURDERER: “a person who commits murder; a killer.”
-Technically a hunter is a murderer but in a “good” sense because they actually USE what they kill for what they NEED. The word hunter is used to take out the fact that what the killer is doing isn’t bad because it is NECISSARY.
ACCESSORY: “someone who gives assistance to the perpetrator of a crime, without directly committing it, sometimes without being present.”
-In other words, A person who eats the meat IS NOT AN ACCESSORY to the killing. The “crime” being discussed is not the “harvesting or eating of the remains”, it is the actual killing and preparation of it.
IN FACT, I would like to add that the activity of hunting STARTS OFF AS A MURDER UNTIL THE MOMENT THE REMAINS HAVE BEEN HARVESTED. The harvesting of the remains prove the need of the action, there fore making it a “necessity to life”. Not a crime.
I use to live in the country in CT. I would freak out when I heard the gun shots going off in the woods. I would be so sad to think of the deer being shot. That was until I saw the deer that next winter eating my plants. The deer heard was so skinny and starving to death. It was at that time it hit me. The hunters were doing the heard a favor. Less deer and more for the others. The hunters take home the deer and eat them. Food for the winter. Guns are part of our American rights.
Jacq from Cali.
You banned kinder surprise but not guns. Guns have the power to kill, that’s why people, and most governments, are pacifistic about them. Safety first!!
A person doesn’t need a gun to kill someone they can kill someone by other means such as knives even bare hands, ropes, chains ect. Just because someone has a collection of guns doesn’t make them a murderer it makes the a collector. They would only be a murderer by killing other people not just collecting them ffs.
Of course guns should be banned. Go out of the US they’re banned everywhere else
wrong. actually MOST of the countries with the lowest crime rates have a high number of gun owners
No Michael you are wrong and so are several others in these comments. America has one of the highest death rates & the highest crime rates in the world and the highest percentage of those deaths are from guns. It is THE GUNS that cause deaths not the idiots who run around with them. In countries where guns are strictly controlled they have the LOWEST crime rates & the lowest death rates. These are easily verifiable facts. Many Americans have misinterpreted the right to bear arms thinking it means they have the right to carry guns & rifles and whatever they like at any time for any reason. In fact that was never the intention. Anyway – not wanting to get into a huge debate I just want to point out it’s silly to attack people who are against rampant gun ownership – they are concerned for the welfare of their fellow Americans. And they have the facts & statistics behind THEIR argument not the other way round. America needs to implement better gun control – that is a stone-cold fact. Having said that, the guy who wants to collect memorabilia is not doing anything wrong. Just want to state that.
No they are not In Canada we have guns. We have laws like you have to be trained, background check, waiting periods and a country full of people that respect all life not just the few. This is not to say we don’t have nuts but we also give them same nuts a license to drive a vehicle. So lets ban the nuts.
Monkey see monkey do.
Do you think that a country that has in god we trust on it’s money should be allowed to have a slingshot let alone a aircraft carrier.
Oh and voted in Trump, uses a term as wininist team wtf is wininist ?
Artificial Cheese what’s all that about .Hands out oxycodone for menstrual pain.
A Police force that uses the socially deprived as target practice.
Dear Terry.
I will use small and simple words, so you and any other idiot can understand: You are wrong.
I HAVE done the research. Let’s clear a few things up:
DEATH RATE: “The death rate is the number of people per thousand who die in a particular area during a particular period of time.” [collinsdictionary.com]
Murder Rate: “List of countries by intentional homicide rate per year per 100,000 inhabitants. The reliability of underlying national murder rate data may vary. The legal definition of “intentional homicide” differs among countries. Intentional homicide may or may not include infanticide, assisted suicide or euthanasia.” [Wikipedia.org]
Check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
Play with the columns labeled ‘Rate’ and ‘Count’ and you’ll see numbers can vary. The Count is the actual # of people while Rate is # of people for every 100,000. So, for Rate Column, USA comes in at #94!! But for Actual, USA is #8. To understand, for every 10,000,000 (10 million) people ONLY 488 are murdered.
HOMICIDE Rate: “Intentional homicide is defined as unlawful death purposefully inflicted on a person by another person. Scope, coverage and timeliness of the data. Scope. Data represent the number of homicides per 100,000 population as captured by different sources of national and international administrative statistics.” [unodc.org]
As of 2016, the US has 101.05 guns for every 100 people, the next closest score is Serbia with 37.82!!! For Firearm-related deaths, there are LESS THAN 12 (11.96) per 100,000 people!
Of these, only 4.62 were homicide (murder), 7.10 was SUICIDE, and the other 0.24 was either an accident or unknown. So again, out of 10,000,000 only 462 were murdered, BUT 710 other people killed THEMSELVES!! The other 24 people that are dead were either gun accidents or unknown (but still gun-related).
Let’s look at some other countries. Remember we have MORE guns in this country with LOWER homicide rate. Rates are per 100,000 people while guns rate is per 100 people.
Honduras= Total is 67.18 with 66.64 HOMICIDE, and 0.41 suicide, 0.13 accident/other. Their gun rate? Between 9.9 and 11.64 guns per 100 people!!
Brazil= Total is 21.90 with 20.70 HOMICIDE, and 0.5 suicide, 0.6 accident/other. Their gun rate? Only 8.6 guns per 100 people!!
Mexico= Total is 7.64 with 6.34 HOMICIDE, and 0.44 suicide, 0.86 accident/other. Their gun rate? ONLY 15 guns per 100 people!!
Try this one:
The UK (one of the lowest, if not THE lowest European countries) with a gun rate of 2.8 guns per 100 people still had a total rate of 0.23, Homicide of 0.06, Suicide of 0.15, and 0.02 of others.
The meaning? Out of 10 million people there are 23 dead: 6 murdered, 15 suicides, and 2 other, but there is 280,000 guns. See? Guns are not the problem. Cain killed Able with a ROCK. It’s a Society problem. It’s a HEART problem.
Speaking of hearts, according to the CDC data: In 2014, 2,626,418 people died. Of these deaths, the 15 LEADING causes of death were as follows:
1. Diseases of heart (heart disease)
614,348
2. Malignant neoplasms (cancer)
591,700
3. Chronic lower respiratory diseases
147,101
4. Accidents (unintentional injuries)
135,928 people which includes 461 from firearms = 0.339% of ALL Accidents
5. Cerebrovascular diseases (stroke)
133,103
6. Alzheimer’s disease
93,541
7. Diabetes mellitus (diabetes)
76,488
8. Influenza and pneumonia
55,227
9. Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis (kidney disease)
48,146
10. Intentional self-harm (suicide)
42,826 people which includes 21,386 suicides from firearms = 49.937% of ALL Suicides
11. Septicemia
38,940
12. Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis
38,170
13. Essential hypertension and hypertensive renal disease (hypertension)
30,221
14. Parkinson’s disease
26,150
15. Pneumonitis due to solids and liquids
18,792
What about those that are Murdered?
15,872 and out of that 11,008 are by firearms. It all boils down to this: an estimated 362,464,532 people is the U.S. with an estimated 290,000,000 firearms and only 11,008 people are MURDERED. That is a 0.003796% chance of being murdered by a gun. You have a higher chance of bowling a perfect game (11,500:1), golfing a hole-in-one (5,000:1) on your birthday (25,000:1), injured from fireworks (19,556:1) or shaving (6585:1) or chain saw (4,464:1) or mowing the lawn (3,623:1), or even FATALLY slipping in bath/shower (2,232:1).
So long story short: if you are worried about death, being murdered by a firearm (0.003%) is the least of your worries; if, however, you’re worried about being murdered (0.604%), there’s a 69% it will be with a gun.
Maybe because he is a respectable man who likes collecting guns, not the 1 in 299 million that’s a sociopath. Get educated, bud.
actually, 1 out of25 people are sociopaths, but you are right in the fact that a very few margin of them would collect guns for harm.
What is a Sociopath
A sociopath is someone who lacks the ability to care for the feelings of others. This can make a sociopath very dangerous, because if you do not care for the feelings of others, it’s more easy to hurt or exploit people. Sociopaths generally don’t feel remorse when they hurt someone else.
You lie just for the hell of it. Sociopaths are often chronically dishonest, lying simply to see if they …
You know something is immoral, and you don’t care. As Stout explains, sociopaths can learn the …
You know you’re being hurtful, and you don’t care. A sociopath does not feel empathy for other …
You’re impulsive and reckless. Stout suggests that, for sociopaths, boredom is prevalent and …
I collect Civil War memorabilia as well as American Revolution memorabilia. Am i a sick freak too Claire because i like collecting American Historical items as well as books. Get a life Really. Not everyone that collects certain things is a crazed lunatic or racist.
But how can you prove you are NOT a crazed lunatic. Anybody with half a brain can use “collecting” as a disguise to cover activities of an insidious nature. How can we be sure you do not have a hidden agenda. As for the idiot who brought up the fact about gun collecting not being on the list who cares. But here is a question for anybody, how many gun collectors have had there collection stolen and then the guns used in criminal activities? Or how many gun collectors have had there own guns used by their family members to disastrous results?
Only idiots collect guns and I do not care of any pathetic excuses used to justify the cause of collecting weapons. Especially when the primary purpose of a gun is to kill!!! What other purposes do guns have?
“Especially when the primary purpose of a gun is to kill!!! What other purposes do guns have?”
I really have no idea why I felt the need to reply here since this is a pretty old argument, but that quote there struck a chord with me.
How about the security knowing that you have the tools to defend yourself and your family from a potentially overbearing, and eventually oppressing government? What about their “hidden agendas”? This isn’t an “excuse”, it is a reason. Part of the purpose the 2nd amendment exists is to help ensure that the population of the nation has the means to rise up against forming tyranny if it occurs. That doesn’t stop the gov from becoming such, and owning guns doesn’t embolden people to fight oppression, but it does give them the means should such a day ever occur. Let’s hope that never happens, but it is a security blanket for the common citizen. Not everyone would have the means to move away if a nation’s government became unacceptably oppressive, and no one should be “forced” to endure such if they don’t wish to allow it.
Yes, guns are designed to kill, but you don’t need one to do the deed. Humanity has been finding ways to kill their fellow humans since day one, and the tool used matters not. If someone wanted to kill another person, and a gun wasn’t available, they’d just find another means if they really wanted that person gone bad enough. The gun does NOT kill people on its own. It takes an operator to fire. By that logic a simple kitchen knife, or the vehicle you drive to work every day could be just as deadly as a gun. You going to ban those too? It is the flaw in the operator that leads to a gun’s misuse. What the US needs is more responsibility and better treatment for the individuals suffering from mental illnesses, trauma, loss and more. Most major deadly events involving firearms (and this factor is worldwide) are committed by people with issues such as these and they didn’t get the help they needed before they made the terrible choice to do what they did.
I personally am not a gun owner, but I respect those who are one for the RIGHT reasons if they are responsible owners. Ownership of a weapon such as firearms should be limited to responsible owners only, but there’s no way we’d ever be able to implement means to monitor such a thing. Taking them away entirely, however, isn’t the answer. See above reasoning for that. You don’t take away something from other people just because a few bad seeds slip through the fingers of regulations. Again, using that logic, motorized vehicles should be banned because of all the drunk drivers and reckless drivers on the roads, they cause plenty of deaths too do they not? My argument isn’t based on what is designed to do what, but the factor of irresponsibility involved in the operator/owner of the object potentially used to kill someone. The tool used in the act doesn’t feel, it just does what the person in control of it makes it do.
Claire, I have been enlightened. Thank you for your comment. I have tossed all my guns in the trash.
boi, thatt waz in 2010.
All I say is Trump is president of the USA lol guns for all and let’s build a wall……… Jeez
Way more people get killed by drunk drivers than by guns in the United States. Does that mean nobody should be allowed to drink or buy alcohol? Give me a break. Gun violence is actually the lowest its ever been, it just gets more media attention now.
Again, throwing around “facts” that are simply not true. the biggest killer in USA is firearms. By a country mile. People are actually “not allowed” to drink and drive – did you not know that. Yet they can drink and own a gun. They can be drunks & drug addicts & ex-cons and Own a gun.The primary purpose of a car is to transport people. The ONLY purpose of a gun is to kill people. So your comparison is irrelevant anyway. Gun violence is still higher than any other western country and about to get worse now Trump has pretty much opened the floodgates.
Car accidents not firearms kill more people in he U.S. Look it up. People can drink and own a car and a gun and it is ILLEGAL to operate the car AND ILLEGAL to carry or operate a gun when intoxicated. And ex-cons (felons) are NOT allowed to own a gun or be in any place that has a gun in it. Please look up your facts before posting comments as it makes all your points moot.
Okay TERRY. The way you speak about guns you’d think they had their own minds! Like what even! And yeah btw the people behind the guns that make their own decision to go shooting up schools are the people who are messed up. Not the gun! (In reference to your previous comment:”THE GUNS that cause deaths not the idiots who run around with them.”) Remember! Guns aren’t alive! Other wise it would be people like your self who would vote insanity and get the *gun* it’s freedom. Cause ya know it’s a free country and all
so true!!!
Wow y’all are really rude
I think it is called history…
We have the internet, and people use it to fuss. Wow.
Actually Claire, you have a brain of a slug.
Clair is speaking her mind. if she has the brain of a slug for having an opinion, what does that make you?
This is a hot mess. I feel bad for you Claire and the rest of you people who feel it is okay to persecute someone who swings a different way. I for one agree that there should be limitations on guns but not a total ban because I would like to see America’s children grow up in a world where terrorist attacks and shootings aren’t a normal think like they have come to be. We need to empower America’s children because they are our future.
Muppet.
Your worried about America’s children. What about the rest of the world when you Chimps vote in a complete cock like Trump.
STOP BEING SOO STUPID!
If guns kill people, I guess pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk and spoons make people fat.
– a 14 year old girl who isn’t stupid like some of you other people
It would be everso nice to add,Moaning narrow minded gun slinging morons.these people are sick in the head,brainless thugs.from a nice law abiding gentleman of the United Kingdom.reply if you wish.but i dont bite or read any of your crass bribble.put your guns diwn and start building communities not barracading them.chew that.
Why not put sex, bar hoping and pillow fighting.
All good stuff, but I think he’s trying to keep it appropriate for any readers under the age of 18
There is pole dancing on the list.
I know! My father collected guns and knives My son got teh knife collection and is carrying on. There is one I found and gave my Daddy when we were in the woods when I was really young its a case and about 2.5 inches long. We have just a few civil war items one is a gigantically long barrell. Another family member got the gun collection but oh yes we kept a few. Collecting anything is a personal choice. Protecting your home is a must for the repliers!!!
hey
you say why is gun collecting not in this list?
125. Gun Collecting
you are stupid first look the next time
They add stuff to the list from the comments. He pisted it 6 years ago. CHECK THE DATES!
Gun collecting is lol. #125
I feel like reading these comments should also be on the list cos it’s my new hobby for sure??
Guns are cool but welding guns are cooler, why isn’t welding up there?
What about gift wrapping?
You know you forgot cartoons and comics
How about singing? Solo, choir or ensembles? Paid or free. A good hobby for those with a musical bend and a decent voice (or not). Just need to have a passion for it.
Barber Shop quartets or Sweet Adelines.
What about Thimble Polishing Carol .
Start of on Thimbles work your way up to oh well nevermind.
Square dancing.
There are many types of folkdancing, not just square. For example, contra danincing, sponsored by the San Diego folk heritage Society. There are also the many ethnic dances, Irish, Scottish, Israeli, Greek and more. Then, of course, there are more traditional ballroom type dances and American dances such as swing, disco, waltz, fostrot, mambo and so forth.
what about knives and grenades???
ok, again, we have another idiot online. first of all, try saying that to your mother. second of all, try saying that to a sandy hook, Va tech, or aroura theater shooting victim. im guaranteeing they will not be pleased in the least bit with scum like you.
Collecting weapons doesn’t mean he’s scum or a murderer. Plenty of perfectly nice people collect weapons.
Preach it!!!??
So, Claire, am I understanding correctly? Since people are the ones killing people, not the guns – since they can’t kill by themselves – then does that make all of us that do own guns or collect guns or weapons crazy people who are going to go out and kill people? Really??? Where is the common sense anymore? Do people really think that collecting guns will make people safer? Seriously? There are some seriously brainwashed people who don’t think about what they are saying. I’m not just pointing fingers at you, Claire, but I just can’t understand how you can feel this way. Most of the people in those examples you gave have said in statements to the press that they are in support of owning weapons, and guns in particular. Get your facts straight and start thinking…really thinking!
Guns kill people. Diana – I think Claire is being a bit ridiculous but the idea that it’s perfectly ok for everyone to own guns because guns dont kill anyone is also ridiculous. Just saying. Maybe you should think. Really think.
Maybe you should think! *really think* because you obviously don’t know anything about guns or else you would know that just because you have a gun you aren’t some murderous pond scum! It means safety, protection, and the ability to fend for your self. Have you ever thought why we even have the 2nd amendment?! For protection!!!!!
He’s the idiot huh? Just because people own guns, knives, etc. does not mean they are criminals. I happen to own guns and knives for hunting and self defense. You sound like another liberal who has been brainwashed by the mainstream media. Do your research or shut your mouth.
Melodye I can agree with you!!! I live in Alaska and if people came here without a gun or knife they wouldn’t last to long because either bear or moose would get them.. And you always need to defend yourself from the crimes around. If everyone had guns and protected themselves there wouldn’t be so much violence in America I believe.
guns are important for safety in the wild but can be deadly if in the wrong hands. there should be more restrictions on guns but they should not be eliminated
You didn’t mention 9/11 THATS stupid and insensitive and am upset. Go cry somewhere and then realize guns are why you don’t speak german.
That is just completely rude! Germans are not at fault!
Again, Claire, you refused to look at when the comment was written…it was written well before Sandy Hook, and just because there is terrorism, doesn’t mean innocent normal people need to stop with their gun/knife/weapon collection just because there are idiots in the world.
Wow Claire, you should get a job
This whole conversation is a hot mess. Honestly, do you people realize that this bickering is pointless.
BOI, THATT WAZ IN 2011
its really nice to see people like you standing on the graves of victims to try to make others see your point. liberals need to actually look up facts before they speak.
LOL Why is it ok for you to speak without looking up facts but not for others?
Claire, everyone dies at some point. Hate to break the news, but saying the gun is what kills people is the exact same thing as someone saying a the baby is the reason a child is aborted. Nope, its two people having sex and conceiving the child. Its the same thing as saying because a person was hit by a car, it was the cars fault. I mean, last i checked a car cant move without someone behind the wheel and a gun cant fire without a finger behind the trigger. A baby cant tell someone no while they abort it. Personal accountabiliy. Thats what people need to learn. Thats the exact reason a person goes to jail for killing someone, not the murder weapon. If its really the guns fault people were killed, answer me this. Why doesnt the gun go to jail then instead?
You insolent fool. Did you even go to elementary school. Just because everyone dies doesn’ t mean they want to. Actually the gun does go to jail, its called taking the gun away, which happens when you murder someone(and are caught). PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY IS NOT REAL, THATS LIKE SAYING THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT IS YOUR FAULT, ITS NOT. You are so right, people do kill people, but guns help a lot. Name the last time a school was massacred by a toe nail clipper. Exactly. Moral of the story is, dont eat apples with ketchup. Oh, also. DONT BE AN IDIOT LIKE STUPID INCANDESCENT NINJARUNNER WHAT A LAME NAMEj
Grenades sound sorta suspicious but hells yeah for knives. I collect butcher knives.
U do what
Thats a bad hobby?
why butcher knives????
KNIVES AND GRENADES 😛
day dreaming 🙂
That is a good hobby.??
I collect matchbooks…..some of them are quite original…..like little pieces of artwork!!
Doreen, I appreciated your comment “like little pieces of artwork!” Is it hard to collect matchbook these days?
Cool!!!
Hypnosis, Bell Collecting, GLBT Rights, Electronic Cigarettes, Internet Radio,W icca, Astrology, Tarot Reading.
How is lgbt rights a hobby!?
Advocating for them might be
Wicca isn’t a hobby.
u forgot teaching
Being a teacher is a noble career, but teaching isn’t really a hobby.
What about preaching huh?
I think teaching could be a hobby. If you teach or tutor for free, it could definitely be a hobby. And, in case anyone argues semantics, you are still teaching even if you don’t have a teacher degree or certificate. (not all parents have teacher degrees or certificates, but they teach their children many things.) (Some parents more than others, some things taught might be worth more than others)
How about pilates???:)
seejay..why is cigar smoking not considered a hobby to you, this world is fine. hdiwehdewih is right it’s been going on for ages. It’s similar to collecting fine wines. I frequently go to cigar bars with friends (even by myself), and smoke a fine hand rolled cigar from $6 to $30. A lot more goes into it then just lighting up some stogie, there’s tons of flavors in a cigar that make it truly enjoyable hobby. The cigar itself is a thing of art, each one hand rolled differently by somebody who’s been rolling cigars there entire life passing the tradition down to there children, truly amazing.
Gaming, mythology,
gaming is already on there
My teacher says that playing video games is NOT a hobby.
Your teacher just doesn’t like them, it’s one of the biggest hobbies on earth now. i.e. Your teacher is full of it.
she is just trying to help you. JUST HAVE FUN!
where’s squash and cardistry??
Yeah, they should definitely have cardistry here! But maybe they see it as a part of juggling or magic.:/
What about taxidermy, Sculpey/Play-Doh, letter writing, and organization?
Based on a lot of the comments on your list, I think you may need to define ‘hobby’. Some of the things on your list – volunteering, for example – are really more serious than the usual connotation of ‘hobby’ suggests.
You got that right!!! I am a guy that likes to be active any chance I can get, however even though there are some hobbies on this list I am interested in, it interferes according to where I live. It’s not like I can hang glide off my roof.lol
you HAVE to take a look in to the ring and hook game. Look it up!
gold panning
Beekeeping
Beekeeping is a serious part of a bees life because all beekeeping has created a false environment for all kept bees and as a result bees find it very hard now to live in the wild so, I would wrestle with the thought of beekeeping as a hobby because when you change hobbies what happens to bees
But we do, need beekeepers because they are dying out and so are the bees which is not good for humanity or any other life form.
But it’s nice that Jason remembered the bees, I am also aware this is a two year old post but hey the situation has not changed for the better
Golf, airplane piloting, cycling, bicycle repairing (give them to charity for kids who can’t afford a bike). As to ice skating, here in Canada it’s not a hobby, more of a national fixation.
How about boffer fighting. It’s a great hobby! (www.swordplay.com.br)
Irish Dancing!!!!!!!!!!
Kunai thowing and being a ninja
Don’t forget my personal favorite: Sculpting!
I don’t see basket weaving or just weaving cloth.
Collecting Guns Or Knives
I’m not being mean but I am confused we everyone is putting weapons
Ha ha, I thought that too. Hey people, I don’t see making a movie (not a professional one)
One should be foot reflexology/massage.
What about baton twirling or color flag!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could yall even forget those

I am almost 30 years old and everybody tell me that i must have hobbies, not only my work… I think that i can find something here!
Pole dancing or belly dancing are fun hobbies to learn. Also, learning how to shoot a gun, several types of guns should be fun. Growing food/herbs is also a good hobby
Why would you shoot guns!! They’re illegal
No they aren’t. Liberals try but won’t succeed
Sledding, surfing, volleyball, flower-arranging, flower viewing, skating, martial arts, knife-throwing, picnicking, comic book collecting, grilling, teaching…
Fell walking, anyone?
Snooker! 🙂
How about debate than?

Have you already listed decoupaging, Stenciling and greeting card making under something else? Or are they new ones you can add?
SCRAPBOOKING! I make cards and Artist’s trading cards and handmade fabric flowers and and
Paint animals. Do collages of animals. Chop up animals and make art out of them(kidding- of course). Do a puppet show with animals as puppets. Teach your dog to paint(somehow). Learn the art of animal speak(ya i’ve really talked to animals on occasion- don’t tell anyone). I guess what i’m trying to say is that you don’t have to limit yourself to 1 or the other. One CAN combine hobbie/ interests’.
baking, hair styling, folk dancing
Playing Board Games like family board games, go board games, is my hobby. Besides I also like neurotaintment. Your list give me idea to add new hobbies.
yes, i love board games too~
My hobby: Programming!
You MUST add that to the list.
hairdressing!!!!
How about sex as a hobby
Ed, sex really isn’t a hobby. If it is then one could also add nosepicking, brushing your hair/ teeth, and vacuuming.
If sleeping is hobby then sex is too.
What about collecting Tarot cards and Tarot reading?
Don’t forget about Bull Whipping and what the kids r doing now Shufuling
Add playing bingo
what about Rollerblading ??
I really enjoy making lotions, body butters, facial cleansers, sugar scrubs, etc.
What about Longboarding/Skateboarding
I’m determined to do almost all of these.:)
Hacky Sack! Wondering around in parks and creeks, metaphysics and road trips!
Wow! That is a great list of hobbies! Thanks for doing the work to get all this on one page for people to review. Very helpful!
I didn’t see Racquetball on the list.
Or genealogy.
Opps genealogy is #114.
1 Ham radio operation kind of a prepper hobby —helpful in times of need like after devastating storms when alternate communication is needed. A social and fun hobby in between times of need.
What about whittling ? widely practiced because there’s nothing so absorbing, relaxing or challenging!
Wow so many negative comments. Instead of complaining about what wasn’t included why not give thanks for an awesome list and the time it must’ve took to write and gather all the information. Well I will. Thank you for taking the time to create this list. You did a great job and it’s much appreciated.
Flea Markets….
This is such a great list!! Thank you :). Also, what about watching anime?
Really awesome list! I enjoy Poetry and Molecular Gastronomy 🙂
Oh, and interior designing!
So many hobbies, so little time! 😉 Miniatures, Miniature Gardening and Dollhouse Miniatures, if I may add.

What’s a k-cup??
It’s spelled Rubik’s cube, not Rubix. It’s the guys name who created it.
You need to add cryptography, while it is a proffesion, it can also be a hobby. Cryptography is the study of codes. So you could take in this hobby to create your codes and use them between you and your friends!
Also you might want to add Semaphore the communication between others through the use of 2 flags. Like you see in the movies with those red and yellow flags.
You all need to stop bitching about guns and people killing and start looking at the real problems in this country like how the government is full of shit and lie to us everyday or the fact that obama ran this country into the ground or the u.s. Being trillons of dollars in the hole and no one doing anything about it they want us to fight about gun control so all eyes are off them.
Let’s not forget all the people claiming that cops are racist because people want to be stupid and be criminals and try to fight against the law then go riot because their own was killed and it was considered racist. People should look at the facts that cops are here to defend us and keep us safe and honestly I don’t care how cold-hearted this sounds, some of those people would already be dead if the cop hadn’t defended himself anyways. They constantly did horrible illegal things. If they aren’t dead they’re in jail and I do believe we should bring back the death penalty and public hangings. Maybe that would bring some sense into people.
Oh shut up, you airhead.
Maybe not public hangings but I agree with everything else you said.

Had been actually trying to find just a traditional shower
enclosures during which I stubled onto this fabulous site,
didn’t even know there were such a thing as a ‘steam shower enclosure’, fantastic, may very
well just may have to acquire one
This is a great tip especially to those fresh to the blogosphere.

Why isn’t training to be a ninja a hobby or collect straws? Iol
Collect straws???? Why would you do that?
Haha! I love reading internet comments, they crack me up. Maybe that should be a hobby 🙂
Great work, that is a very extensive list. It must take a lot of time to come up with all that stuff…
I collect rocks and pens since I was younger.. and apparently purses now, that I don’t even use. (ha) Here recently, I’ve been collecting idiot drivers antics on video and yoga to get away from that bull crap..
But I need a new hobby or two… maybe do what Claire is doing.. waiting around for someone to comment on guns, ammo and other weapons, just to comment on it to be an a** to point out useless information and make assumptions on someone “just because”. You know, be another a**hole the world doesn’t need on the internet hiding behind a keyboard!! Hey, can’t beat’em, join’em!
Thanks for the collection of things to do..

hi
good write up on various hobbies, i do enjoy playing basketball
You have an awesome list of hobbies! i have already done some of this list. And now i can add more on my list..and I agree they’re perfect picks for my me time hobby and family hobbies! Me and my family want to try out each of them..This has nothing to do with this, but you might want to add this on your list of hobbies. This book http://www.amazon.com/Butterfly-Coloring-Pages-Butterflies-Adults/dp/1500501255 is great for kids and adults…It contains different kinds of butterflies and moths with finely detailed illustrations of 100 species of butterflies and moths. With colored pictures , this coloring book can also serve as an inexpensive butterfly identification guide. That can help you learn more and use your creative side..
There have been a lot of hobby suggestions made that haven’t gotten onto your list. Is the list frozen now?
One thing, I wanted to add Skeet and Trap shooting. I finally noticed that Skeet was there but slightly out of order. A few around 239 are out of alphabetical order.
Very picky I know, but I suggest that “Jump Roping” might be changed to “Jumping Rope”.
Also, you might consider adding whittling, day-trading, and various card games (Bridge, Solitaire, etc.).

You should add the hobby conlanging to this. A conlang is a constructed language, and can be created for stories, for the purpose of keeping secrets, or just for fun.
I’m creating my own language right now and this hobby will keep you busy for months, or even more. It’s really fun to create languages, dialects, and entire new culture. You could have the culture and history go back hundreds of thousands of years, the possibilities are endless.
I see Netflix no where in this
? Glad I’m not the only one who thought of this!
Shoe collectiong
So, There’s RC helicopters but no RC Quadcopters or Hexacopters? Wow this REALLY needs updating and definitely NOT the world’s biggest list.
how about bug collecting , circuit board repair, small engines, clay pigeon shooting,….I myself colect antique tractors,coins,keys,bottles,fossils,guns,books,arrow heads.when I was young i moved to Alaska and made a living making due with what the land provided.Trapping, Blue tick Hound training (mountain lion treeing and rabbit dogs) . I’VE grown too old to continue my dream, therefore I’m passing down my skills to my grandson and my land to my son and his boy.(350 acres)
Substitute “Warhammer” with miniature wargaming. There’s a lot of other miniature wargames out there. You could even argue that Warhammer is being dethroned.
What about computer building? Many people own their own business because of this
It’s spam – they post a bland comment that could apply to any website. The only purpose is to spread a link to their website which is selling something.The link is their user name shown in blue.
I would also like to suggest cheesemaking, but it doesn’t appear the webmaster is reading comments as the spam hasn’t been cleaned up.
what about backyard chickens?
researching baby names
Scavenger hunts
1. Rifle shooting?
I’m on a team and it’s great fun. Really relaxing too. Sometimes tricky to find clubs near you though.
2. Watch collecting?
This is my friend’s hobby. He’s got a youtube channel about it and everything which is pretty cool.
Hello everyone, thank you for this huge list of hobbies.. we all know that some hobbies are convertible or a stepping stone towards a part job then eventually becomes a full time job when fully ripe. How I wish there will be a SURVEY among thousands of users.. which hobbies which gives the most or likely be converted to a part-time or full time job in a smaller or big way… probably ranked.. Example, hobby on photography or videography when becomes skill can earn some money. People who are jewelry fanatics when the skills becomes ripe becomes a stepping stone towards a pro into jewelry business.. and many more.
I hope this website can conduct one…

What about playing with small babies & remembering our childhood.
Hammocking should definitely be added
you cant ever eliminate guns completely. Remember the Prohibition of alcohol you dumb bop. How did that work out? Exactly you zonkey ass donkey
magnet fishing
This is quite useful because I didn’t know what hobbies are but now I do (well i did kinda) 😀 So many hobbies
umm you forgot mushroom foraging??
Isn’t Sketching and Drawing the same thing?
You didn’t include baking, which is not exactly the same as cooking.
Or maybe try to spell correctly ?
It’s remarkable to pay a quick visit this website and reading the views of

eager of getting know-how.

Wow at least one site is useful like this one. Now I have plenty of projects to complete and I’ll never be bored again!!!! I’VE BEEN BLESSED!!!!
i love how most of the comments aren’t about the article
This is actually quite useful. The list was extensive enough for a lot of people to get ideas and come up with what they could occupy their time with. Sometimes peoples hobbies can change through no fault of their own. Life experiences and accidents can stop childhood or long time hobbies and force someone to find something else so this is useful.
I Love Gardening in Home. This is mu hobby. Now I working for Growing Chives Indoors.
What about knife sharpening?
My hobby is to play snooker, it keeps me refreshed and also it is a very good brain storming game. It is the most toughest game to learn but also too much fun. It increases my concentration and also relaxes my mind. I remember once I played snooker for 18 hours continuously at a club in Pune, on a off day ofcourse, haha.
I’d love to own an aquarium
My hobby is owning a saltwater aquarium ???????
Good information. Lucky me I found your website by accident (stumbleupon).
I’ve bookmarked it for later!
This is truly amazing list of hobbies. Awesome! Thanks!
I feel you mate
Thanks for this list this helped me find some it is an amazing list of hobbies
How about starting your information on each hobby by inserting a definition of the hobby, then you can fill it in as you go, but the reader would have, at least, some idea of what it is.
I think you could condense the list a tiny bit by grouping together things like playing the guitar and playing the violin into “Playing an instrument” with a bit about some different instruments: that type it is [percussion, string, woodwind, etc], qualities of the sound it makes [high pitched, deep tones], ease of carrying [hand carry, need a truck, etc] and so forth.
I think I invented a new hobby: I would take stained glass designs, use carbon paper to transfer them to artists textured paper, then paint then using acrylic paints. I liked it because I had the design already there and I just chose the colors [often metallic]. I liked it that there was not blending of colors because of the black line between, but you could add textures/colors on top of the base color. What do you think: is this a new hobby?
My son paints 40K army figurines and sells them. Airbrushing, dry brushing, and a lot of detail painting are involved.
oh come on rugby?

All you gun hating idiots, when someone gets shot, you blame the gun instead of the owner. When a pitbull kills someone, you blame the owner instead of the dog…
Now which of the two acted on its own to kill someone, the dog or the gun?
Idiots.
Arboriculture is a great hobby.
Why is there no fashion-wearing?
Pen turning is a great hobby. I’ve been doing this for about 15 years now and love it. You can sell the pens or make them for gifts. You’ll need a mini lathe and a few tools, but not that difficult to master.
aromatherapy
Rock climbing?

I personally love to stilt. Thank you for a wonderful article, though!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are so many hobbies that aren’t on the list. And also so many duplicates. Like its written differently but still the same concept. Instead of writing songs or music, change it to ‘composing’. And you want to show the difference between writing songs and writing music, change it to like ‘composing musical scores’ or ‘composing song lyrics’. Most of the hobbies that are listed are vague. It would be great to provide more details to it. For example, what exactly do you do in the internet? Or a short description would be good too. Can you also please improve the comment section? Like adding hide button or putting the ‘Post comment’ at top, after the article
