During the lockdowns in 2020, plenty of folks picked up baking, started obsessing over "Animal Crossing" and started day-trading. As the world opened back up, many of those activities fell by the wayside as folks tried to return to a somewhat normal life.

However, some habits actually ended up sticking around all these years later.

Redditor u/Background-Layer6195 wanted to hear about all of our quarantine habits that ended up becoming permanent, and AskReddit had plenty of opinions to share. Some of them are impressive, but a shocking number are deeply depressing.

What’s a habit you picked up during quarantine that you still maintain?
