Hobbies. We all have them, but some of them just make no sense to me. How is this even a hobby? And how are people willing to do this in their own free time? And today I am clocking in and being a D1 hater for a couple hours as per usual. And now some hobbies I'm not really the biggest fan of, like knitting for example. Like I feel like I would find it super boring. I mean, I get why other people like it, but there's some hobbies out there that I just don't understand why people even do them.
And some hobbies are super dangerous. Some are so boring, like it genuinely feels like I'm doing work. Now, I think a hobby is really anything that takes up a pretty big chunk of your free time. That isn't your job. Now, let's start with skydiving. Anybody who actually does this hobby, you are a brave soul. Like, it's just a hobby that I would never want to do personally.
But I guess you do you. Now, I'm somebody who's personally afraid of heights. So imagine me jumping out of a plane at max altitude. And my fear with skydiving is one, the speed I'm going at towards the ground. And number two, what if the parachute just doesn't work? Like, what am I going to do, bro? It's over. Like, it was a one in a million situation. And I just got super faulty equipment. And then there's nothing I can do about it now. Now I'm pretty much just falling to my pending doom. And I just have to sit there and reflect on life. Even when I'm at-

The moment I look down, like I just get butterflies in my stomach. And that's not even that far of a drop, to be honest with you. But if I'm jumping out of a plane, holy shit, dude, I'm gonna have a panic attack. I mean, some people are thrill seekers, but I just don't get it. I'm pretty much somebody who just does anything to avoid putting my life at risk.
And now speaking of diving, a new up-and-coming hobby that has gone viral on the internet recently, cave diving. People will dive into the smallest crevices known to man. Like that shit is not even a cave. They'll literally crawl in this hole and people will document their entire time in this cave.
And in the videos, they're talking about how they're like losing air and they're like short on breath. But if you're in like a wider cave, I mean, I guess I understand it where you can actually breathe. Like it could still be kind of dangerous, but not as dangerous as crawling into like a miniature asshole. And some people that are cave divers, dead ass, just leave their wife and kids. Don't even tell them where they're going. And they're off to secure the mission. And sometimes in these caves, like water levels can rise. You could get lost. You can run into bats. That's why I'm like, I don't even want to think about that.
Now, if any of these situations happen, I would be freaking the hell out. I don't know how the hell these cave divers, some of them remain super calm. But hey, if they really enjoy that, I can't really hate on them. I just don't see the appeal. Now we got people who frequent the dark web. The dark web is just full of a bunch of illegal and dangerous shit. And a lot of people on there, they just take people's information and shit like that. And I don't want any part of it. And people already try to take your information a lot on the surface web to begin with.
These hackers can find your information on databases that you had no idea your information was even on. A lot of times people will share this information on the dark web. So that's why Incogni, the sponsor of today's video, is here to clutch up. A lot of companies will sell your data to marketers without you even knowing. This data could possibly spread around the internet and end up in the wrong places. When this happens, you may end up with those annoying spam calls and emails that just
plague your notification. This happens to me all the time and it just annoys me to no end. And they will keep coming back because data brokers will constantly sell your information to these companies. Or sometimes, if your data ends up in the wrong hands, it could result in security risks and even people trying to steal your identity. Some people go through cases where their information ends up being used for taking out a loan by identity thieves.
Incogni can reduce the risk of these things happening. So what Incogni does is they reach out to data brokers on your behalf and request to remove any personal data, such as your name, your home address, your social security number, etc. You can see any progress of removing your data in the Incogni dashboard.
All you have to do is make your account, pick a subscription plan that works for you, give them permission to work with you, and the entire process is automated. So you can sit back and do what you gotta do. So download Incogni to protect your personal information online. At the link below, use code BIRDIE for 60% off an annual plan. Thank you to Incogni for sponsoring today's vid. And these neckbeard-ass dudes that try to get your information. They eat, sleep, breathe the internet, bro. So I'm good, truly. And speaking of that, we got...
Discord and Reddit moderators. Now, obviously, if you just casually mod a server you're in or a subreddit you're in, this doesn't apply to you. But if you treat this shit like a full-time job and you're like, no memes in general, and you have a fucking power trip over a Discord server, okay, bro, this definitely applies to you.
A lot of these mods just stink, bro. They don't take a shower. And they got the craziest build ever, bro. And they don't even care about their situation outside of this Discord server. So they haven't heard of a gym. And this shit is pretty much like a day job for them. Like they clock in, Discord server's open, and they're sitting there just eyeing down the chat, waiting for the next meme to be sent in general. Or they'll join the VCs and they'll be like, gentlemen...
Which one of you sent that meme in general? That was not very positive of you. And bro, it's a meme. It's not that serious. And now we got vaping because apparently vaping is a hobby now. Now it's one thing to vape in general. Like I already think vaping in general is bad. And now I know it's very difficult to quit vaping. And that's how they make them. They make them so you just get hooked to them. But apparently we got professional vaping now.
October 2024, cloud competition. This cannot be a real thing. Like I have to be getting rage baited as we speak. Like there's no way these competitions and things like that even get that crazy of a turnout. That's why I'm thinking, I don't even want to try it. I don't want to end up like that dude that's fiending for the Knicks stick.
And he's just itching if he doesn't get it. And bro is just addicted. Now, speaking of addiction, we got gambling. It's crazy because there is dead ass people who just clock into the casino like no tomorrow. Like whenever I go to my local casino, people are just locked in, bro, on these machines. And now I don't really see the appeal in gambling that much because every time I do, I end up losing. So what the hell is the point? And every time I did go, I didn't put in more than like
$50. But still, I'm not trying to lose $50, especially in this economy. Two months ago, I bought a case of eggs and that shit was $18. It's getting ridiculous out here, man. Ghost hunting. Okay, nobody is forcing me to go into a spooky ass place just to try and find signs of a ghost. Like, bro, we are not in Luigi's Mansion. Like, I'm not trying to do all that, bro. Like, I genuinely would shit myself. Me and paranormal activity is not a good combination.
eczema isn't always obvious but it's real and so is the relief from evglis after an initial dosing phase of 16 weeks about four and ten people taking evglis achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin and most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing evglis labricizumab lbkz a 250 milligram per two milliliter injection is a

Like when I was a kid, I would get scared shitless watching those phase rug Ouija board videos. If I was scared of a goddamn Ouija board, I'm not going into any haunted house with ghost hunting equipment trying to find anything. Some people are into paranormal type of shit, but I don't know, man. It just freaks me the hell out. Like I'm not trying to mess with ghosts or anything like that because I don't want them to have any beef with me in the afterlife. Or if I'm in a really beat up haunted house with like super creaky floors, I feel like I'm in an episode of Cronut.
Courage the Cowardly Dog, bro. And I am starring as Courage as we speak. And some monsters just gotta pop out around the corner. But now we got Parkour. Now back in 2021, that's ridiculous that I'm even saying back in 2021. I was seeing a bunch of videos on my TikTok feed. They were just running and doing the craziest Parkour stunts.
And some of them were like leaping between tall ass buildings. Like I'm not a goddamn superhero. So I am definitely not doing this. Like in order to do this, they got to have like Michael Jordan level ups. But in my case, yeah, I would definitely fall between the two buildings. Or sometimes they'll stand on like this tiny beam, like off the edge of the building and they'll just scoot their way around the building.
Like, I genuinely feel like I'm gonna piss my pants just watching these. And it would be like a GoPro video so you could see all the cars going by and shit. Yeah, definitely not getting this one. Now we got bird watching. You know, a very calm hobby, I will say. And bird watching isn't super dangerous, unless you get attacked by the birds or something. But seeing some, like, rare or exotic bird, I guess, could be kind of cool sometimes. But it's just like, they're sitting there for hours waiting for the coolest thing to spawn in and
Sometimes they don't even see anything. They got their binoculars out the whole time just to look at grass and trees. My attention span isn't quite on that level yet, so I'm gonna pass on bird watching. Or sometimes it might not even be worth it because you'll see something like a pigeon. And if you live in the city, you're going to see a pigeon every day.
When I went to New York, I just saw squadrons of pigeons. Like, it was actually ridiculous. I would just feel defeated. I'd be like, damn, bro. I sat here for six hours just to see a pigeon collecting. Specifically collecting something really weird. I've seen so many videos online, like on TLC or something. Oh.
I'm

There are dead-ass people out there that will collect toenails.
Dude, what the hell? And to me personally, I don't know, man. That just reminds me of Fregley from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Like he was always collecting the weirdest shit. So I am definitely passing on this one. Or even if it's like a very normal item that a lot of people collect, sometimes people collect an excessive amount of them. Like if you can make a bet out of your Funko Pops, dude, I don't know, man. It's time to maybe stop the collection. You got to draw the line at some point, man.
man. With hobbies, having a balanced life is very important. Because even for me, sometimes all I think about is YouTube, how my video's doing, the next video I'm making. Like, it's not good, bro. I need to stop. Writing fan fictions. Okay, this one needed to be talked about. I get it. You know, we're all a fan of something, but there is no reason to obsess over the characters and make the characters have this crazy love story. We do not need all that, bro.
Like I'm just trying to enjoy whatever it is that I'm a fan of. And sometimes people make being a stan their full-time job, which is actually ridiculous. Some people will glaze Cardi like it's a 9 to 5. Don't get me wrong, I like his music, but there's no need for all the glaze. And after some of my research on Google.com, I have now just found out that there is a hobby called extreme ironing.
Yeah, I suck ass at ironing clothes to begin with, but ironing clothes while hanging off the edge of a cliff? What is the point of that? Like, I just don't understand. They'll do any kind of thrill-seeking activity while trying to iron clothes. Like, at that point, I don't know, just go rock climbing or some shit. Why are you trying to climb up a mountain while ironing clothes? That just makes zero sense. But hey, man, I guess if you're really feeling that, sure. I don't really know what ironing is adding to the activity.
Okay, now we got astrology. I'm sorry to all my people out there that are into it, but I'm just not feeling it at all. And me personally, I just don't really believe in it. And if that's what you like, man, I guess that's what you like. But some people center their entire lives around astrology, which that's what doesn't make sense to me. Like a lot of people pick their partner, pick their friends and blame all their behaviors on astrology.
Like some people will dead ass say, my bad, I kind of crashed your car. You know, that's the Aquarius in me. Like, bro, what are you talking about? Like the month you were born in. I don't think that has shit to do with your personality. And next we got the weirdest hobby on the list. Blood painting. Yeah, that is insane, bro.
people will genuinely use blood instead of red paint. Like, why don't you just use red paint? I don't understand. I found some article here about blood painting and they said it gives more aura to the painting, which, how does it give it more aura? If anything, that makes me more scared of the painting and it makes it more scary to look at. Like, I'm not going to show any of the blood paintings. I don't want YouTube to get on my head, so I'm definitely not showing any of
And one hobby that I do see the appeal for, but I just hate doing, is driving. And I would say I'm a pretty shit driver, but yet I still made a video on the worst types of drivers. So just click on it, it's on the end screen.
