I don't see "an increasingly difficult to ignore urge to bomb an oil pipeline" on here.

Japan...

i just really freaking love public transportation infrastructure

i want to ride ALL THE TRAINS

Which AI generated slop are you?

My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.

I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.

I'm turning into a bog witch

I've let like half my yard grow out and turn into a de facto butterfly garden. I've got a birdbath where I leave shineys for the crow. It's going pretty well, I recommend it.

I guess running. About 4 years ago, I started on the treadmill with an exhausting 30min/mi. Earlier this week I completed my first 7min/mi. Along the way, I added a 28min/5k@1.5% and am working on a 60min/10k (today did 62min/10k).

You forgot about bouldering / rock climbing

Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.

BDSM. I have integrated pretty quickly into the local community, and I'm a regular at munches and play parties.

What do I do if mine's not on here? What kind of mid-life-crisis is this?

Does HRT count

Le sigh. Grad school

Japan? Does that just mean travel?

Where is the drinking and BBQing one?

I'm only 33, a bit young for midlife crisis, but I've gotten into ham radio. I think it's probably the most I've spent on a hobby. Even budget radios that can communicate over the horizon are pretty pricey.

Edit: The most I've spent on a hobby to get started on a hobby, that is. I've definitely sank much more money into video games and when I played it Magic the Gathering.

I got the bonus 5th one: Linux

Fucking math.

Yes give me sudden urge to self-study linear algebra for shits and giggles. Ima go look at math memes now.

I nearly failed math my entire life wdym it will suddenly become interesting for no reason.

Well I'm forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don't hate listening to my own screams.

So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that's mine.

I started collecting Lego again.

... and running.

Cycling, linux and archery

None of the above?

Strength training and returned to a hobby of my younger years - cars.

E: wouldn’t even call it a midlife crisis. Just finally having a little time to have a hobby and understanding that being healthy will extend what quality years I have left.

Where is the one for dating someone 15-20 years younger than you?

Add gardening, birdwatching, golf, volunteering?

Hufflepuff.

Wait a minute...

No, I stand by it. Just replace the badger with a blunt.

私も攻撃されたと感じる。。。

Thrifting should be an option.

I can tell I’m the target demo because the Goodwills all play music I like.

I know it’s a thing, I see kindred souls with the same millennial dork vibes all of the time.

As a gen-x, I feel attacked that millennials are already having midlife crises.

You are young! Save it for your fifties, kids, I haven’t had mine yet!

Smoking meats

Fuck, right as I got back into manga and anime...

But it's mostly rock climbing really.

Where's the "Reclusive hermit" one.

Music 🎼🎵🎶

More specifically: playing the instruments: drum, piano/keyboard, clarinet, guitar, whatever else 🥁🎹🎸🎷🎺🎻🪗🪘🎛️

Bonus points for "getting back to", as in: something you got a start as a young fella but then life happens and you stopped doing it, and now that your bone aches when it is cold your mind went to old times when life felt brighter.
