    Speed cubing. You can spend a whole lot of different speed cubes, lubes and other stuff. It’s mostly the actual training and learning it can require: CFOP, the most used method of solving in competitions requires you to learn 78 different algorithms and another 41 if you really want to compete. Just learning those, not even practicing doing them fast, is pretty insane
