I like to grow plants from seeds. It's a pretty damn cheap hobby. One of my favorite sites for seeds is rareseeds.com

Also ham radio/SDR.

Been learning piano slowly, which is fun.

I've been doing some simple lock picking - tons of fun, pretty cheap. Knot tying is kind of similar and even cheaper.

3d printing is also an amazing hobby.

Also getting into MAME and classic arcade games is cool.

I started learning Guitar specifically because I was spending all my time in front a screen.

It's helped a bit, but a I also spend a ton of time watching guitar YouTube tutorials to learn things.

How are you learning Piano? Are you self taught? I'm learning Guitar from Justin Guitar and the quality of the instruction blows me away.

I'm teaching myself with a combination of books (Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course) and youtube videos. My favorite part is just learning the music theory, there's something really relaxing about practicing chords and scales.

It's a nice experience to start as a complete beginner at something.
