Cooking - control over every ingredient, tastes better every time, looks better every time, rewarding, great activity with (or for) friends, generally respected among everyone, food science is a long rabbit hole to dig into

Running - relatively cheap sport, dopamine rush, good time to listen to podcasts, many events in the area to get you motivated, some dogs can join

Hiking - being in nature, difficulty can be varied easily, great with friends, great alone, most dogs can join

Gravel/Road bike - go far, quick, also dopamine rush, everyone hates you, downsides: can get pretty expensive, maintaining the bike is super annoying (in my opinion)

Gaming - no explanation needed, downsides: too much to choose (FOMO), feels like a waste of time

Board games/DnD - Like gaming but does not feel like a waste of time, great with friends and family, also some nice solo games (which I’m starting to get into now)

Programming - Very cheap, can make cool stuff, can turn into job, downsides: people ask you to fix their printer or program stuff for free, not a hobby anymore if turned into job
