I've always loved flashlights. Yes FLASHLIGHTS with an A!!! Anyway, apparently not many people share my rather niche interest.

So I ask you, fellow Lemmites, what are your hobbies and weird obsessions that you can ramble on about for hours?

Please feel free to ramble on about your passions here. Maybe you'll find some likeminded individuals!

The first flash lights could only light up for a moment at a time, creating a flash… hence the name

I didn't know this. I'll have to remember it for future small talk!

Honestly, I just made that up... but then I looked it up and its basically true.

I am not disappointed in the slightest.
