I tend to think soy boys don't really feel that happy and are exaggerating mild happiness in order to mask their existential misery.
Like maybe there's been a few instances of moments of pure joy where the right photographer might have lucked out and caught me doing a soy gape, but the only occasions I can think of are moments where friends/family/pets have done something spontaneously funny. Never when <latest thing=""> has been announced. And certainly never while looking directly at the camera.</latest>
But scepticism aside, here's what gets me closest to soygaping:
Coffee
I am an unashamed coffee snob. I have a >£4,000 espresso setup including a La Mazzocco Linea Mini and a Eureka Atom grinder and I totally soy out over the process of making espresso and also pour over coffee.
This is one area where I frequently lie to my wife and connive to spend money without her knowing because she wouldn't understand if she knew the true cost of this hobby.
Me inside when my coffee arrives in the post:
Volvos
I love Volvos. I love seeing other people's Volvos. I like old Volvos and new Volvos. I've got a moose sticker on my Volvo.
I am looking forward to getting the new Volvo EX30 very soon, and hoping they release some electric wagons so I can continue my Volvo wagon habit into the future.
I just can't see myself ever buying any other manufacturer. They're not the fastest or the highest end, but man are they practical and well-designed.
Me when I'm driving my Volvo and I see another Volvo or I'm watching the early reviews of the new EX90:
Manly Scents
I've got an unopened bottle of Gaultier² which is my absolute favourite.
I want to clone myself and have s*x with myself every time I sniff myself. So hot.
They've relaunched it, but it apparently doesn't smell the same as the original so I'm saving it for a special occasion. Either that or selling it to some other nerd for £400+.
Burberry London is another favourite.
Not just sprays though. Anykind of manly shower gel or beard oil, etc. Even the rare manly scented candle just gets me soying out like:
How about you? What gets you soygaping, either literally or in your mind?

BMW E30s
Everything about them is wonderful and they're beautiful
cars to me. I developed a weird 
obsession 
with them a few years back and actually 
impulse bought one coz I saw one for sale on the way to the grocery 
store. Handles like a fun little 
go-kart and is easy to work on. I love their dumb headlights and really 
everything about them.
NEEDLEFELTING
I love being able to take random
puffs of wool and turn them into different 
critters. Still need to get around to making a Marsey.
COOKING
Throwing random
shit from my pantry and fridge together 
and making it look pretty 
has always been a good, productive hobby. Really 
hard not to get fat off of delicious 
meals made.
RE: Volvo
Agreed 100% - had a s40t5 a few years back that I absolutely adored until some dumbass
ran a red light 
and tboned me.

That era was fricking great for BMW. They're timeless.
What are your thoughts on their current design philosophy?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Not a big fan of their current designs. Unsure
how to explain, but it just looks too “smug.”
I do like the E36 line as well, but nothing compares to the pretty
quad headlights and general 
feel of the E30. Volkswagen had a similar design in the early 1980s for the Rabbit, but those seem shorter and ugly somehow.
I'd like to think
designs may shift back to boxier cars at some point 
again soon, but from what I've ascertained the reason for every design turning bulbous and weird 
is to reduce 
harm to pedestrians.

I'm a total shill for Patagonia clothing. The founder Yvon Chouinard is not only a legendary rockclimbing badass, he's also the chillest billionaire on the planet, and actually walks his talk.
And their products are worth every penny, not only for their environmental and labour practices, but for their quality. My primary daily jacket is still a Pantagonia pullover that I bought in 1992.

gardening, raising puppies, and diysolar/batteries

Gardening is fricking fantastic. Basic gardening, i.e. just planting things and waiting for them to grow, doesn't require any skill really. Just labour, time and care.
And weeding as well. Just mindless labour. And then you get results which is really satisfying.
Anyone considering suicide should come and help weed my garden first and see if they still want to die after that.

Lately, cooking steak in cast iron. I'm just getting into it but i bought some beef tallow and have been trying to master the art of getting a nice steak crust while having no gray band on the inside of the steak.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
What works for me is leaving the steak out beforehand until it's at room temperature. Then put loads of salt and pepper all over each side. The salt draws moisture out and I guess the higher steak temperature both helps the crust form and the heat from the pan to penetrate further more quickly.
I get the pan as hot as possible -- but also I like to cook it in a mix of butter and oil which has to be done at a slightly lower heat -- and then just throw it in and leave it alone until it's time to flip.

i don't think i really have any consumption-related hobbies or interests. sometimes i watch saxophone product reviews, but i never buy anything i don't need. maybe it's because i don't have any money, although i do buy 5 dollar gel pens instead of 1 dollar pens because i hate writing with ballpoint pens, you need to put in so much pressure to get such faint, ugly lines that make the back of your paper just look like an estuary after a drought.

I used to like Rick and Morty a lot, though it got kind of worse in later seasons even before the drama that got the guy kicked out. I haven't seen any of the new ones since. But earlier on I thought the episodes were great and I nonironically enjoyed the pickle Rick episode.
Rimworld is probably the best game I've ever played and I
every time an expansion is released and happily buy it to play it (I pirate almost everything else)
I have absolutely no interest in food and would eat goyslop all day every day if it didn't kill me (is negative theme soying allowed?)

I liked Rick and Morty as well until I started seeing things from the fandom and realised I didn't want to be associated with that.
I've often fantasied about breaking my own leg and getting a solid couple of months off work to soy out over Rimworld, but haven't had the courage and also worry I'd only get a couple of weeks off at best.
Anti-soying is an interesting concept. I think it's allowed, but would also be an interesting thread in its own right.
For me it's Kias and Hyundais. Just no fricking design lineage between models or generations.

Ignore fandom and enjoy the things you like.
Defining yourself by how others perceive your interests is way more soy than enjoying Rick and Morty.
If you are one of those nerds who can't help but fall into participating in fandom, then it's time to rip the bandaid off and admit you are gay.
I unironically still enjoy Rick and Morty.
