I can't understand the appeal of anime. However, I do respect the artwork and storylines put into it. I just never have liked it much. What is something that a lot of people like, but you can't really get into?

Reality TV. Actually pretty much all TV if I'm honest. I don't know really know why but it's never held much appeal to me. The last time I remember sitting in front of one for any length of time was when 9/11 occurred which must be over 20 years ago now.

I like a few TV shows like Eastbound and Down, Spartacus, Vice-Principals and some classic stuff. However, overall, I just don't find much of it interesting.
 
Good to hear I'm not the only one 🙂
A big problem is that TV just isn't that good. It's just a lot of movies and how they just aren't that good. Well, the thing is subjective, but I feel like my opinion is shared by many.
 
I often see guys with video cameras train spotting at my local train station. I don't get it because all the trains look the same to me. I mean, I would understand if it was steam trains but this is 2016 so all trains are the same right?

That's one of my dads old hobbies. He loves trains. I just don't see it. I look at them and there doesn't seem anything special about them. To me a train is like a big garbage truck; big, smelly, and completely uninteresting.

I have an online mate that I play and do things with him and also talk to him each day and he's a real-life train driver 🙂 At the moment he's doing night shift thought
 
Working out i just do not understand how people can enjoy exhausting themselves.
 
Ice baths... I've always been confused by that one. I see people who do them every day and if they don't get in their 3-minute ice bath (cause any longer might do damage!!) they've ruined their day!

I like to ride subway trains. However, I'm more fascinated with the different lines and where they go than the trains themselves. I've always liked road maps etc.
 
Realty tv shows... don’t really understand how people sit down to watch other people living their life

Well, one of the strangest ones is Rissa and Quan on YouTube. All they do is film their life and they've made half a million already I think via YouTube ads. They started around 2018 I think.
 
Can I just say watching the news in general? I've never been interested in whatever they are showing, there are always ads in between that have little to do with what I'm watching. I don't feel the need to plan my day based on the weather. I don't need everything around me spoonfed without conclusion or constructiveness. I want to choose what I want to hear about how people solve problems and not be on the border of being productive. Heck, I don't even see why newspersons are still around. That's my hot take.
 
I can't understand why people like to watch reality tv. I don't watch a lot of tv to begin with but I've never understand the draw of reality tv.
 
Skydiving and bungee jumping. Sure I understand the concept of the adrenaline rush...but why take that sort of risk.
 
Golf. I just can't understand how it can be exciting.
