Fun things which are kinda inconvenient

11.06.2023

Barefoot shoes
Cast iron pans
Eating with chopsticks
Film photography
Fixed gear bikes
Fountain pens
Paperback books
Vinyl music

All of those things are kinda inconvenient and maybe a bit difficult in the beginning. But I feel like all of those things have something in common which makes them super fun.

They're all analog, manual things. They force you to focus on whatever you're doing. Riding fixed gear forces you to focus on your surroundings so you don't crash. Chopsticks kinda slows down your eating (at least for me, maybe different when you get used to them :D) so you can't just mindlessly shove the food into your mouth like with a fork.

I like analog, inconvenient things.
