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!

    I have an odd obsession with tornado sirens and other civil defense things. The odd harmonies that different kinds of sirens can make together. Cold War vibes, and the feeling of “well, we’re fucked then” when the emergency alert system goes off, only to find that it’s just another ho-hum thunderstorm on the other side of the city. I don’t know a whole lot about the stuff but I’ve spent many hours of many days soaking up videos about it on YouTube.

    I miss when all school kids had to worry about was fire, tornado, earthquake, and nuclear annihilation.

      Glad I’m not the only siren enthusiast on Lemmy! Sirens are incredible machines, and I adore learning about their history. So much has been discovered these past few years in the community.

        There are dozens of us! Maybe we should find or start a siren community on Lemmy. I just don’t have time to moderate, or I’d do it…
