Why is it unsafe to ask people about hobbies, even if they "can't afford these things"? They can just say that "I can't afford hobbies" and then you can talk about that.
People also might not have a job/work, so asking about that could get uncomfortable too, if you are not willing to hear negative answers.

It's the same thing like asking about the weather: it's easy to observe and most people will have some kind of, even minor, opinion about it. It's called "small talk" for a reason and is meant as a conversation starter and/or to avoid the awkward just-staring-at-each-other moments. Even a tiny human connection is still a connection.
