Millennials and early Gen Z of Lemmy, what did you do for fun before phones became such a huge part of our lives? (sopuli.xyz)

I keep cutting out things like social media from my lifestyle, but I'm finding it hard to fill the time. Reading can only go so far, there's never anything on TV, and my friends all live twelve miles away.

So, before we really had social media, what did teenagers do?

Getting a time consuming hobby like wood working or programming or something that can pay off in the long run is I think probably a wise route to go.

@hellfire103@sopuli.xyz this right here. Try lots of things & find what you are interested in. If you are still a teen yourself I'd highly recommending finding a local 4-H club, they're a great place to learn a new hobby with others and from experienced folks who want to share.
