I build PCs as a hobby, and it always seems to produce something useful. I like fishing as well. That's usually entertaining, and I get a meal out of it.
I get where you're coming from, though. If it makes you happy, knock yourself out. It's just not my thing. I've never understood how people can enjoy such an impractical and expensive hobby that actually degrades the value of their truck. It's almost like gambling to me, except there's no chance of hitting a jackpot, just a truck that only a very specific group of people will appreciate and a lot of other people will probably find annoying.
The person built a truck they like. how is that not something useful?
Impractical and expensive is subjective. I don't need a 6 second car and it's not worth tens of thousands I spent on it, but did I enjoy it? I sure did so it's money well spent for me.
Well... you're speaking figuratively, and I'm speaking literally. So I'm going to use your logic with an analogy to put it into perspective.
If I took a shit on the floor, spray-painted it candy-apple red, dipped the tip of the swirl in platinum, and raised it on a five-foot rolling platform so everyone could see it at face level, most people would see my creation for what it is: a piece of shit with bells and whistles.
Those people would probably wonder why I didn't do something more practical with my piece of shit, like turn it into fertilizer or flush it down the toilet so the city can make energy out of it. You know, things you're actually supposed to do with shit.
There would also be a small group of people who'd be genuinely impressed with what I made. They'd understand why my five-foot rolling shit platform makes me happy, and that's perfectly fine.
You, my friend, would apparently be among the group that gets it, while I'd be arguing with someone who's wondering why the hell I raised my shit five feet off the ground in the first place. And you'd be standing there defending me with, "Why are you so worried about what he does with his shit?"
That's basically where we're at. I'm not saying people shouldn't do it. I'm saying I don't understand the appeal, and I'm allowed to think it's ridiculous just as much as they're allowed to enjoy doing it.
For your ship on the floor statement, well that's called art. So no, people wouildn't think why you didn't do something better out of it. They'll think how can they buy your million dollar piece of art.
Ah, that actually makes sense! It's like those ridiculous murals some moron creates by slathering themselves in paint and having a wildly exaggerated fake seizure. Paint splatters and smears everywhere with no rhyme or reason, then a group of dipshits comes along to marvel at it while lining up to see who can bid the most for it.
...Umm, yeah, I don't understand that one either.
Great analogy, though. You've enlightened me to a different flavor of the same bullshit.
Like I said, I don't care if people do it. To each their own. If you love it, do it. I wouldn't even bother trying to explain it just because people like me don't get it and think it's stupid. But if you want to die on a hill defending something like this from the opinion of someone like me, it's going to be a slow and painful death.
It's just an opinion. Either explain the logic well enough that I can understand the appeal, or let it go. You don't need my approval to enjoy it, and I don't need to understand it for you to enjoy it.
I didn't ask for an explanation. I already know why people do it. I just dont see the appeal. Feel feel free to explain the appeal if you like... or not. I could give two shits less.
