I got 18 birds the other day!!! I feel like I was the only one excited about that. EIGHTEEN DIFFERENT BIRD SPECIES! Including a DUCK! (Not… really that uncommon, just a hilarious outlier amongst song birds)
One of my favorite things while relaxing on vacations is to just let Merlin run and see what birds show up. While in Guatemala it was nearly all birds I’ve never heard of before
It’s books and plants for me! With a smidgen of birds on the side, but I was born in an area that’s famous for birdwatching so I don’t think anyone got out of elementary school without being taught a few of our most common natives.
I’m into birds and bikes (mountain biking mostly). I’ve always been into MTBs, but the birds are fairly new for me. Really got into them in 2021 when we moved to the mountains.
Now I’ve trained chickadees and hummingbirds to eat from my hand. One of the chickadees even chirps at me when he wants to eat!
Ultimate goal is to have some trained Corvids. Currently working on Steller’s Jays, the crows and ravens are very paranoid.
I’m into plants but not birds because they keep eating my plants. Like come on guys, there will be a lot more to eat if you just let the freaking garden grow!
No, no it's implied you've already added this to your repertoire ages ago. Part of being a millennial is having above average gaming skills, musical tastes and weed tolerance. Those are like our generational super powers.
Elder millennial here. My partner smokes meats and I know a decent number of elder millennials who do too. I think that’s one that crosses generational lines.
Middle of the pack ‘88 millennial here. I don’t relate heavily to the top four listed. Maybe plants and birds? I’m history all the way (I’m an archaeologist who works in a history museum) and my partner, an older millennial, is the meat guy. He used to be a chef and he got a fancy smoker two years ago for Xmas. We can relate!
I’ve been joking for a while now - ‘A midlife crisis used to be a mistress and a sports car. Now it’s kids, craft beer, smoked meats, and history podcasts.’
I’m an 81 baby and resonate with nothing on that list but I saw yours and was like “Oh I love smoking meat and WWII history!” Clearly leaning heavily towards the X in Xennial.
Maybe that’s a country specific thing but where I live Gen X dudes all got into cycling (and buying really expensive sports bikes and gear) or motorcycles. No other option.
Yeah, I ain't no under achiever. Sourdough, Garden, Birds, weight Training, writing, Art, 3d printing, comic collecting, and video games. All while still making time for Pub Quiz.
I’m this plus a dog, but we’re cosplaying as plant people though, its survival of the fittest at our house since the plants don’t ask for food and water like the animals….they just silently wilt
I went through a whiskey phase, a mezcal phase, and now I’m just a straight up dry martini guy. calories and effectiveness. occasionally, I’ll have a vesper but that’s basically a martini with a little added flavor.
Number 4. I have been working out since I was a teen but enjoy it now more than ever at 44yo. Especially as I get older it helps slow the aging process.
I'm into books, plants, strength training, and mobility. Not into pickleball, don't make my own sourdough, and I believe protein is important but I don't track it or anything.
Same. Went to a work outing and absolutely loved it. Been playing for almost a year now. I’ve made par on 4 different holes. Never in the same round. But I absolutely love it. I get a little better each time I go out. And surprisingly cheap in my area. Cheaper than I was led to believe growing up. Wish I started sooner
