Another Interest-Based Culture

I didn't know baking could be so intense....
....but apparently, it is.

I was trying to figure out what in the world the picture at the right ------> was a picture of, and all of a sudden I stumbled into the rabbit hole and found myself in a galaxy of pastries.

It's pretty similar to Starcraft-ism, really. There's a whole 'nother language that I don't understand, a ton of technology I don't know how to use, and an overall sense of awe and confusion I get when I try to immerse myself in such a foreign area....

It's (almost) sort of a culture shock. Is culture shock possible for interest-based cultures? Maybe not.....I guess culture shock would be more likely for nation-based cultures since nation-based ones are so broad--manners, food, language, beliefs, religion, society, politics, everything. When someone's being awed and confused from all sides, I'm sure the shock is much more than my baking surprise.
