This is right up your alley!Tornadoes and sharks. Have always been fascinated by both.
I could see me doing this too. My wife doesn't seem to approve of this type of behavior so my collection has not really taken off. She seems to think I need to finish what I have before buying anything new.I got into collecting bourbon around Covid. It started as looking for Buffalo Trace when I'd go to Wal Mart and now I'm probably somewhere around 75-80 bottles at any given time. Just an absurdly dumb way to spend your money, and honestly I don't drink it more than maybe a glass or two a week. But I love trying to find rare bottles or to find new distillers that are making a good product.
My wife is the same way. To me, space is fascinating in its scope and the unknown element. I could watch anything space related and be content.This probably isn't that weird per say, but my wife would say otherwise. I find anything about outer space and all of the physics, science and technology around it so fascinating and most of it mind blowing. The huge scale of things is almost unthinkable and hard to wrap your head around if you think about it. Shows like "How the Universe Works" and documentaries and discoveries from Hubble and now the JWST just leave me in amazement.
One of the more interesting apps for my Occulus VR headset is the one that basically utilizes Streetview to drop you anywhere you want to be and have a 360 view.I could lose hours of my life on Google Maps just zooming into various places in the world and researching the culture/topography/things to do, etc. Give me an unlimited budget and I would travel the world for a long long time.
Yep. Can't get enough. My wife still makes fun of me because one day she came home and found me watching a documentary on 'The History of the Steering Wheel'. Big fan of military/war history, the Kelsey Grammar show on FOX Business (I think) is pretty good stuff, learn a lot about lesser known details of specific battles during the Revolutionary War, Civil War, etc. Also like the series on the History Channel 'The Cars That Built America', 'The Foods That Built America', etc.My wife is the same way. To me, space is fascinating in its scope and the unknown element. I could watch anything space related and be content.
I'm also that way with a lot of historical content.
I'm curious if other CFers got into history as they got older. I detested history in school when I was younger and I'm positive it is due to how it was taught to us (being forced to memorize dates and people, versus why something happened). Now, I absorb that stuff like a sponge.
If you're bourbon hunting up in Wisconsin, I would highly recommend finding some J Henry. Delicious stuff.Ever had Driftless Glen from up in Wisco? Good stuff.
I also love watching Forensic Files. The show gets to the point in 30 minutes... It takes Dateline FOREVER to get to the ending.
That new album is awesome.I love a good documentary. Doesnt even really matter what its about.
also, Pearl Jam concert posters. They have a poster for each show that are unique to the city. Some really cool ones out there and some also expensive ones. It has kind of turned into something akin to collecting baseball cards.
