Cool dudes of drama.net: tell me what product, hobby or thing you totally soy out over?

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.

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?

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.

I buy bulk 50lb bags of garden lime and symphony ag organic fertilizer. Makes gardening very cheap as well. Went through almost 300lbs this year
