There are actually people under 65 who just sit down and DO jigsaw puzzles?

    I find PUZZLES fun.

    Jigsaw puzzles always just seemed boring as fuck and pointless to me.

    The only setting I think it’d maybe be fun is if I was doing it with friends and we had drinks and snacks and shit. Alone? That just seems weird to me. Also at that point I might as well play DND.

      It's a simple task with a clear start and clear finish and you get a minor sense of accomplishment at the end. People like building model sets or knitting, puzzles are roughly on the same level in my mind, it's just a low effort relaxing thing to do and it doesn't involve any screens

        At least with model sets you get a cool as airplane or train afterwards!

        Once your done a puzzle you just put in back in the box :(

          Depending on the size and quality of the puzzle, some people will use puzzle sealing glue and create basically a finished whole that can be hung as wall art, etc.
