What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?

i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

    Ham radio. It’s a lot of fun and has something for everyone. I like the outdoors, so I took my portable gear to a park and operated Parks on the Air today. There are all kinds of digital modes for people who love computers, there’s morse code, there’s using kites to hoist your antenna, hot air balloons, talking with the space station, etc. All kinds of stuff. If you’re the least bit nerdy, it likely has something for you.

      My Dad was hugely into ham radio throughout the time I was growing up, and yeah, it was the quintessential nerd hobby before home computers came along.
