Whats the most niche, odd hobby you're into right now

I collect and restore vintage typewriters, genuinely niche, most people don't even know these need any actual maintenance, but there's a small but real community of us out there

Curious what people's actual most niche current obsession is, the one that gets a genuinely confused look when you try explaining it to someone new

[Faded Owen]

I'm into competitive speedcubing, solving rubik's cubes as fast as possible, niche community but a surprisingly large one once you actually find it

[David1]

Restoring old fountain pens, most people don't even know these still exist as a functioning writing tool, but there's a dedicated online community around it

I do amateur mycology, foraging and identifying wild mushrooms, niche and mildly terrifying to explain to people who immediately assume I mean the other kind

[Fam28]

Collecting and playing vintage synthesizers, niche corner of the music world but an oddly passionate small community once you find it

[AJStyles92]

I'm into competitive duck herding, a real thing, my dog and I compete regionally and most people's reaction is complete disbelief when I mention it

[DigitalNomad]

Restoring old arcade cabinets, takes over a room of my house, but there's a surprisingly large community of people doing exactly this

[JustMartin]

I do amateur astronomy specifically focused on variable star observation, submitting data to actual research databases, niche but weirdly meaningful work to be part of
