I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.
Ive always hated that question. Its usually asked to determine social status.

Disagree. Or at least, that’s just a side effect. I like talking to people about their expertise.
People in manufacturing and r&d quite like the question, I’d reckon. I wouldn’t relate it to social status.
If you are from the same industry then yes.
I definitely didn’t read it that way from the post. I thought it was about your hobbies and creative interests. I guess you could infer social strata by whether the answerer has time and disposable income for hobbies. Some don’t require much investment, but it’s usually more than none.

As a welder, I create a ton of shit. Today, I created a new handle for a lathe, cut off the old one, and bolted on my part so the lathe functions (mostly).
Legos
I create useless applications for diary use. Now im working on an organizer that reads my work ins and outs times to control my extra hours and eventually cash in free days due to excess working hours.
Various 3d printed items, Last week I sewed some dust covers for my HOTAS peripherals, scripts to help manage my media library, nonsense comments on Lemmy.
Novels and short stories. Also very large children, carved wooden staffs, and random pieces of art.
Shitty code
Currently? Walnut ink.
That sounds interesting. What’s the process for making it? What colour does it come out?
Worldbuilding and video games! :(
Have you read Vermis?
programs, music and baby
It’s been a while but I was learning to songwrite and record a few years ago. Been focusing on education lately so not as much time for it these days.

For the last year and a half I’ve been writing and drawing a fluffy, sapphic comic based on a very unserious British science-fiction show about a time travelling alien in a blue box (4 chapters so far). It’s on AO3.
Has anyone asked OP what they create? What do you create, OP?
Solid comic!
I grow crystals all day. I have a cool idea for a video game so I’ve been learning Godot recently too.
Memes
Resin dice, novels, 3D prints, paintings, video games, wooden furniture, RPG scenarios. I have way too many hobbies and maybe two hours per week to work on them, so in reality I create very little. But making something physical is incredibly helpful for keeping the worst of my depression at bay.

Waste that I expell in the bathroom.
I create hastily designed lumber creations that are used to organize and store things.
Every couple of years I create a world for friends to play tabletop games in for a shared experience.
Some days I get paid to create written documentation and shared understanding of complex systems used to collect and report data that someone else will hopefully analyze and use for improving the educational opportunities of children.
I love the reframing of the question.
