minus-squareshinysquirrel@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up64arrow-down1·1 year agoFor me it’s coffee. Most people see it as a daily need. When I say my hobby is coffee they always say things like “that’s not a hobby”.
minus-squarePunnyName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up35·edit-21 year agoYou’re being too broad. Gotta specify what you’re doing with coffee at that point, and a slight expansion. Basically, when bringing it up make it sound more interesting and mysterious, with the potential of a follow-up story. For instance, people often ask me what brought me to Los Angeles. I tell them, “it’s lady Gaga’s fault”. Hooks 'em every time.
minus-squarePunnyName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·edit-21 year agoThis will have to be quick and ugly, because I’m on a phone: Learn about Lady Gaga on 4chan. Become obsessed fan. Help someone w/ lyrics, via voice recording. Many people tell me I should be in radio. Lose job in Texas. Move to LA to be in radio.

minus-squareℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI am definitely a beer nerd, but quite a lot of people are interested in those conversations.

minus-squarecubedsteaks@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoTrue. And there’s mixologist. What’s the name for what baristas do? I googled and only found “coffee preparation” lol
minus-squaredrekly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoIt’s absolutely a hobby and a huge money pit. ^Askmehowiknow
minus-squarePulptastic@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoCoffee brings up associations with hot swill at diners. Craft coffee or coffee nerd brings up a barista image, so maybe that’s a good start.
