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!

Flashlights are an interesting one. I somehow ended up in !flashlight@lemmy.world and it's definitely a unique hobby. I'm not sure if I'm willing to really join all of you yet, but reading the posts can be pretty cool.

For me, it's probably CRTs, other display technologies and old hardware in general. It's fun to tinker around with stuff. And playing games, be it new or old, on CRTs is what I live for.

I highly suggest a Convoy or Sofirn flashlight if you ever get into flashlights. Both are very reliable for an extremely reasonable price.

As for CRTs, are there any advantages to CRT over other display types? Is it a personal preference?
