Anyone find that certain things become almost obsessions? Was contemplating this after saying I love the labyrinthian nature of IKEAs. As a kid I used to draw mazes, loved the myth of the minotaur, I love going through corn mazes, I like movies about mazes (Labyrinth for example, and the maze scenes from the fourth Harry Potter) and maze/maze adjacent games like Ilomilo. It's a more broad thing too. I love liminal spaces. I like to photograph them.
Got a strange love? Share below. What is the psychology of it?

I've built a lego maze today! That's a cool quirk |

I do like mazes as well. Hellraiser 2's version of hell I find eerily comfortable. Like it's just giant pillars that somehow house the cenobites. Also love making dungeons for 1974 and Holmes basic version of D&D that I host. My new dungeon has a minotaur in it, in one of the hidden rooms that house 60k gold. If the players find the hidden switch on the stone walls, it'll lower the stairs to one of the entrances releasing the minotaur into the labyrinth. |

For 5th edition DnD I am having one of the halls have a doppelganger, so if a player dies to that, they'll have to play as the doppleganger and not tell the rest. There's one entrance into the labyrinth, however the entrance is magic so they'll each spawn in 4 different locations with only one group of 2 spawning together within the labyrinth. |

I just had an amazing idea. Lets go around IKEAs and do a podcast video in their show rooms. Record the public while we talking some scary space or whatever controversial you want to push for...this could be an idea for a YouTube channel. |

I’m not sure I’d call it strange, but I’ve developed a real fascination with cosmic voids and supervoids—those enormous underdense regions that make up most of the universe’s large‑scale structure. They’re exactly what the name implies: vast expanses where the matter density drops far below the cosmic mean, leaving behind only a sparse scattering of galaxies. |

There's an escape room near me that's actually documented as really haunted you have sign a waiver saying if you remove anything from there and something follows you it's not their fault 🤣 |
