I’ve always loved flashlights. Yes FLASHLIGHTS with an A!!! Anyway, apparently not many people share my rather niche interest.
So I ask you, fellow Lemmites, what are your hobbies and weird obsessions that you can ramble on about for hours?
Please feel free to ramble on about your passions here. Maybe you’ll find some likeminded individuals!
bought myself a magnet for magnet fishing, hopefully that’s fun
Oh man I did this and thought I caught the mother load. Me and my friends labored so hard to pull it up onto the end of the pier. It was so heavy. Ended up being a park bench lol
I mean that’s a hell of a thing to throw in the garage
Haha it was super gross. Just left it leaning on the pier. Thought the park people would want it back haha
Magnet fishing is basically litter collection, isn’t it? What is the best thing you’d hope to find?
Apparently it’s pretty common to find guns. There was a video floating around a while ago of some guys that pulled up a gun and called the cops to report it and turn it in. The cops were mostly annoyed about the whole thing though.
pulling out a gun would be kinda exciting
A safe!
True, it could be fun to find some stolen goods!
someone fished out a stolen motorbike in Dublin a couple years ago and there was an article about that
Just make sure to post about it on an Internet forum and then never show anyone what’s inside the damn thing
big metal bar could be useful. pulling out a shopping trolley would be funny but idk what I’d do with it after
A gun?
Idk how you exercise caution when doing this…. But find out and do.
Remember to tie the other end of the rope to your belt loop or something.
the rope is 20m so hopefully it doesn’t all go in the water
I think the main worry is losing it to a place that is simply inaccessible. Better safe than sorry.
oh that would be awful, hopefully doesn’t happen
And risk getting dragged off a bridge? Naaaah tie that shit to a handrail
What magnets do you recommend?
don’t know yet, I still haven’t tried it out
