Cigars.
It was only supposed to be a few of the affordable ones with basic accessories.
For me it's photography. I originally bought a camera and lens second hand. Now over the past two years its become rather a lot of money. I bought a Nikon Z8 last month and it was definitely worth the money.
3D printing.
Mechanical keyboards. I have a collection of 5 totalling to way more than anybody would expect keyboards to cost.
Oh boy, I’m not the worst but I’m pretty bad when it comes to “rabbit holes”
Vinyl records and hifi audio, photography (especially film), mechanical keyboards, cigars, old german cars. I just recently got into music production and modular synthesis. Someone needs to stop me.

Cooking.
Believe it or not, self-hosting! I went from renting a VPS for $40 a month, to purchasing an entire $150 machine at home, plus $50 or so in additional storage, plus a $20 a month VPS solely to bypass NAT restrictions... plus a few hundred dollars more when I first started, because I cheaped out on components and managed to brick not one, but two Intel BIOSes trying to update them.

Scale modeling -- you can pick up a cheap kit at a big box craft store with some paint and glue for $40. Before you know it, you're importing specialty kits from Japan, rigging up a spray booth in your basement for your airbrush, and taking trips to air museums to get reference photos of the zinc chromate primer for a cockpit interior.
