Do you all have any tips on activities to do yourself, instead of consuming content all the time? (feddit.nl)

I'm pretty sick of my content addiction, like watching youtube or netflix all the time. I would rather be spending my time otherwise so figured fun things are the best to start. Do you have tips for fun things to do? Or how I could search for them?

Some I came up with myself:

Learning some magic tricks
Learning some origami
Thrift shopping

Everything is welcome!

Edit: thank you for the huge response!

Thrift shopping is great. Window shop at antique stores, goodwill, pawn shops, thrift shops. Even without buying things you can come across lots of interesting finds.

Find your local free community center. Your local library is a good start. There's bound to be countless free activities or events to join and also meet people at to make casual friends while doing new things.
