What are your unconventional special interests? (lemm.ee)

There was a nicotine + adhd thread today in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works and I got to write a few paragraphs about my favorite subject: anything tobacco.
I don't know particularly what is so cool about it, but I just can't get enough information on the subject. Old fashioned snuffboxes, cigarette boxes and holders, pipes... And the rich history and culture of each brand and style and how it evolved in every part of the world is just so interesting to me.
So it made me curious about what are some of the other more unconventional special interests around this community

How? I need this

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Idk where you live but they ordered it only from schnupfdoesli.ch which I think is pretty location specific

[–] theblips@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I need to move to Germany or Switzerland so bad. Snuff is just on a different level in that part of the world... A little off topic: Are you aware if Bernard availability in Germany and the rest of the world will change with the McChrystal's buyout?

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Oh nooo I hadn't heard of the buyout! And McChrystal is my go-to :( so idk what's gonna happen
