when you make a joke and someone tells you “that’s not very nice”

One of the greatest experiences in a hobby is when you go bigger. It doesn't matter what hobby it is; there is always a number, and you can always make that number bigger. You've changed from being a normal person to a competitor. Often, there's no going back from there.

Most folks will just do the ordinary thing. They'll accumulate a whole lot of something, and put it on the shelf, and complain about how much of that stuff they have. It takes a real freak to accumulate a whole lot and then start using it to cobble together complete nightmares that frighten the newbies, and intimidate the experienced.

Once you've reached the point where forum threads showing off your project are largely met with uncomfortable chuckling, you know you've arrived. It's the equivalent to those Scottish games where a guy carries an entire tree around. Nobody is standing on the sidelines and going "yeah, I could probably do that too."

If there is a problem with this (besides the expense, psychosis, and antisocial behaviour,) it's that it doesn't leave a lot of headroom. Once you've reached the pantheon of just showing off in order to impress the other freaks, there's often nowhere to go from there. Building a model rocket with your pals on a weekend is fun. Spending twenty years making a scale model replica of the Saturn V and making the fire department horny when you shoot it off is probably an equal amount of fun, but at a much greater expense.

Luckily, society has produced many kinds of hobbies you can switch to. And all of them have numbers, too. Won't take too long until you can get established in (checks notes) underwater photography and start tricking dolphins into taking selfies.

Today my professor picked up a garter snake, said “Ow!” five times as it bit him, set it back down, and said, “Okay. That’s one defense mechanism snakes have.”
