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.

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?

Everything about them is wonderful and they're beautiful :marseyglam: cars to me. I developed a weird :marseywut2: obsession :marseyrentfree: with them a few years back and actually :marseynerd3: impulse bought one coz I saw one for sale on the way to the grocery :marseydiscount: store. Handles like a fun little :marseypony: go-kart and is easy to work on. I love their dumb headlights and really :marseythinkorino2: everything about them.

NEEDLEFELTING

I love being able to take random :marseycitrusshrug: puffs of wool and turn them into different :marseyvenn3: critters. Still need to get around to making a Marsey.

COOKING

Throwing random :marseycitrusshrug: shit from my pantry and fridge together :marseyropewithchingchong: and making it look pretty :marseyglam: has always been a good, productive hobby. Really :marseythinkorino2: hard not to get fat off of delicious :marseyravegigaspeed: meals made.

RE: Volvo

Agreed 100% - had a s40t5 a few years back that I absolutely adored until some dumbass :marseysmoothbrain: ran a red light :marseyyinandyang: and tboned me.

That era was fricking great for BMW. They're timeless.

What are your thoughts on their current design philosophy?

Not a big fan of their current designs. Unsure :marseysquint: how to explain, but it just looks too “smug.”

I do like the E36 line as well, but nothing compares to the pretty :marseyglam: quad headlights and general :marseyarthurwatts: 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 :marseyoscargamble: designs may shift back to boxier cars at some point :marseyhesklennyyouknow: again soon, but from what I've ascertained the reason for every design turning bulbous and weird :marseyautismdisconcerting: is to reduce :marseyrecycling: harm to pedestrians. :marseyrage:

Their new m440i cars just look like they've got buck teeth. Not a fan.
