Visual joke about expensive hobbiesfrom @genericcards

[01]

Overview

The creator films a first-person POV from a moving ski lift, holding a Pokémon card pack and a mini bottle of Fireball whiskey in one hand. A persistent text overlay humorously labels the combination of snowboarding, collecting trading cards, and drinking as the 'three most expensive hobbies,' creating a relatable visual punchline about going broke.
