I’ve always loved flashlights. Yes FLASHLIGHTS with an A!!! Anyway, apparently not many people share my rather niche interest.

So I ask you, fellow Lemmites, what are your hobbies and weird obsessions that you can ramble on about for hours?

Please feel free to ramble on about your passions here. Maybe you’ll find some likeminded individuals!

    That is actually really interesting. Would you ever consider going into the field or will you remain all hobby? I’m studying basic forensics in my criminal law pathway in High-school but it is VERY surface level.

      I’d love to but would need a lot more training to do so. Which I fear I won’t get due to time and financial constraints - you know, being the bread winner of the family, full time job, a child… But on the other hand, I do love my current job and it earns me the money to buy all the expensive text books, so I won’t complain. :D

          After spending a bit more than a decade in academic research, I am now a regulatory toxicologist in biocides assessment at a national authority. Sounds boring but comes with much work in international committees which is fun (and oftentimes restores my faith in humanity) and we do some research and teaching, too. Plus, it is a nice job in terms of doing something for society, making the world a safer place… 🙂
