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!

Most apartments use Kwikset locks, which are cheap and ineffective. Picking one of those was easier than picking the practice lock from my kit. I could get my front door open in 30 seconds flat with a single pin pick, or like 2 seconds with a city rake.

Yeah, after about 10 minutes of practicing on a practice lock I decided to try my front door. Raked it in seconds. It was so fast my dad had a code operated bolt ordered that same night.

I always thought it was BS in movies when they pick a door lock in a few seconds, but nope! That's completely realistic. The rake was even faster than my key on some attempts.
