What's your "weird" interest?

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I used to like sleeping on things that aren't beds or seats. It was a bit more...Well more when I was younger; back then I used to climb into large suitcases, book shelves or cupboards for a nap. Yeah, I was a bit weird. And yes, that is a purposeful understatement

 

[SckizoBoy]

And for all our OC sorting habits, we are not psychotic! [sub][sub][sub][sub]are we...?! -_-[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

according to the general public D&D and video games.
On here... probably American Football & Baseball.

I quite enjoy reading up oh particle physics. I'm not schooled in it and I certainly don't have the mathmatical background necessary to understand most of it, but the ideas are always fascinating to me.

Also I've been trying to teach myself how to write code, and I suppose that's a non-standard interest.

Both of these, so many wiki pages... so little understanding...
Although I take IT as a subject, so for me it is significantly easier... and part of my work

I enjoy learning, especially when it comes to random information.

For example, in 2001, Viagra was banned from greyhound racing because it was being used to help the greyhounds run faster than their competition.

 

[lettucethesallad]

I do swing dancing. It's not really something your typical gamer would do I guess. Still good fun though.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Eh, obsessing over dragons.
Pretty generic when you get right down it, actually..

 

[ReservoirAngel]

I have the weird habit of going into shops, primarily bookshops, and just wandering around. I don't buy anything and rarely even read the blurbs of anything, but I just like wandering around looking at all the covers and at all the people browsing various shelves.

To this day I don't know why I do this. I just find quiet enjoyment in it.

 

[Farther than stars]

Edit: I forgot to mention that my weird interest is staring at strangers.

You mean people watching?
Anyway, mine (amongst many others) is walking outside when there's a storm on.
Now, on to other people's:

Taking pictures of the feet of old men.
I don't know why, but there's just something about those wrinkles....

As far as weird things go that is pretty high up on the list. Oh well, whatever works for you.

Cleaning, yeah, I enjoy cleaning my room and things in general.

It clears my head.

I'm pretty sure that's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. But at least this outlet of it has positive results.

I put things in order
Alphabetical
Importance
Length
Size
Spectrum
Volume
Whatever.

I can see the cross references becoming pretty time-consuming. =/

 

[Fbuh]

I like to collect old animation films, as well as bad sci fi and fantasy films. I recently started watching the Deathstalker series, and previously watched the 1977 film Wizards. I actually enjoy these movies, which is considered weird (even by my own account).

 

[blaqknoise]

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Does that still count as weird?

It was a joke, but there are probably some people who actually enjoy that.

You have no idea. Mostly I arrange by two criteria, like spectrum, subsorted by release date or alphabetically subsorted by preference.

If I have three dimensions to work with though, I can fit in up to nine variables, which makes me very happy.

 

[Mister Swift]

I absolutely love listening to chiptunes.

Anamanaguchi was the first chiptune band I listened to, and I've been hooked ever since.

 

[krellen]

Fritz! They killed Fritz!

Ponies. I like both the show and the culture around it, but Bronie culture from an anthropological perspective fascinates me. It would help my research by years if I could only figure out if some really do have a sexual attraction to the ponies. A couple say they do, but i can't tell if they're joking.

Based on some pictures of Big Macintosh and Fluttershy I've seen online (pretty NSFW), I'd say some people do.
If you're curious, just image search Fluttershy with safesearch off.

OT: i too am a people watcher. strangely i prefer to be alone.

Is loving anthropomorphism and loving the idea of it considered weird?

If so...I love anthropomorphism.

its not. i have a furry webcomic after all.
so theres that.

plus i make WAY too many sexual jokes. today, i annoyed someone so much he said "i'm going to smash you!" so i said:
"what are you going to do, smash my back doors in?"
that shut him up.

Cleaning my M4. Regular cleaning (my room, the tent in general, policing up doneage after a fire mission) doesn't appeal too much. But when it comes to my rifle, it gives me a very zen calm. Maybe it's because of how meticulous you have to be to get it squeaky-clean, maybe it's because I'm maintaining a piece of equipment that could be vital to my existence, but it's still a rather enjoyable activity, even though it's something I do once in a great while.

I find it a little strange that I get a charge out of helping others with computer problems. I'm one of the tech guys in my platoon, and when someone comes to me with any kinda computer question, my brain starts doing a little dance. A few weeks back my section chief's laptop crapped out, and even though he was a tech-support headache, I still really enjoyed identifying, attempting to trouble-shoot the problem, and laying out the alternatives since his computer (the HDD, to be specific) was beyond saving.
Furthermore, I even go so far as to fantasize (I'd be fooling myself if I used any other word) about helping others buy or build a new computer, given certain imaginary limitations.
Incidentally, I qualified this as only a "little" strange, since computer savvy is in my family, especially my father. I just take after my old man like that, I suppose.
