I like learning about random ass hobbies without ever indulging in them.

I do this too! I love watching like videos where people make jewelry or phone cases using resin. It requires a ventilated area though and I live in an apartment with no patio so I couldn't do it even if I wanted to.

I also watch nail polish videos cause nail painting is an amazing artform that is really difficult to do because its painting with material that hardens when exposed to oxygen or UV lighting. It also takes a ton of skill to get really good at it and people use all kinds interesting methods to get different results or looks. But yeah, I don't have the patience to learn that beyond just painting my own nails and maybe some decals but that's all I could handle.
