10 Unusual Hobbies You Never Knew Existed

1. Extreme Ironing...

Yes, you read that right. Adventurers take ironing boards to mountaintops, forests, and even underwater to press shirts in the most extreme locations. Because wrinkles don’t care about gravity.

2. Cheese rolling...

Every year in Gloucestershire, England, thrill-seekers chase a 9-pound wheel of cheese down a steep hill. The rules? Survive the tumble, grab the cheese, and become a legend.

3. Underwater Hockey...

Players don snorkels, fins, and sticks to push a weighted puck across a pool floor. It’s like hockey, but with more bubbles and fewer ice-related injuries.

4. GEOCACHING...

A global treasure hunt using GPS coordinates. Participants find hidden containers (“geocaches”) in everything from park benches to fake rocks. Spoiler: The treasure is bragging rights.

5. Book carving...

Artists transform old books into intricate sculptures—think dragons, landscapes, or labyrinths leaping from the pages. Sorry, librarians.

6. Bubble football...

Soccer, but players are zipped into giant inflatable bubbles. Tackling = bouncing hilariously across the field. Perfect for resolving grudges *safely*.

7. Competitive Dog grooming...

Move over, poodle cuts. This sport involves sculpting pups into mind-blowing themes (unicorns, dinosaurs, even sushi rolls). Fluffy art at its finest.

8. Falconry...

Training birds of prey to hunt? Medieval? Absolutely. But it’s still practiced today, blending history, patience, and the thrill of bonding with a winged predator.

9. Mushrooms foraging...

Part hike, part culinary adventure. Enthusiasts hunt for wild fungi, but caution is key—some mushrooms are gourmet, others… *hallucinogenic*.

10. Stone skipping championship...

Forget lazy lake days. Pros compete to skip stones dozens of times across water. The world record? **88 skips**. Physics nerds, unite!

The 12 years-old boy who made £290k from an NFT collection.

A 12-year-old boy from London has made about £290,000 during the school holidays, after creating a series of pixelated artworks called Weird Whales and selling non-fungible tokens (NFTs). With NFTs, artwork can be "tokenised" to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought and sold. They do not generally give the buyer the actual artwork or its copyright. Benyamin Ahmed is keeping his earnings in the form of Ethereum - the crypto-currency in which they were sold. This means they could go up or down in value and there is no back-up from the authorities if the digital wallet in which he is holding them is hacked or compromised. He has never had a traditional bank account. Extremely proud Benyamin's classmates are as yet unaware of his new-found crypto-wealth, although he has made YouTube videos about his hobby, which he enjoys alongside swimming, badminton and taekwondo. "My advice to other children that maybe want to get into this space is don...
