Rye and sourdough are both S-tier breads
Rye is essential for Reubens. And that's about it.

Am I the only one who thinks that rye tastes exactly like pickles?

Couldn't have said it better. I actually want to get into breadmaking but I don't know where to start.
Once I acquire that power, I will become a hermit who just eats bread all day.

Mostly, just find a recipe and go. There's lots of room to get fancy with it with stuff like dedicated proofers and steam injection (or DIY approximations), but at its most basic you're just mixing flour, water, and yeast and baking it. Everything else just builds on that. Most recipes will tell you everything you need to know about activating the yeast and any other nuances you'll need.

If you're totally new, I'd recommend finding recipes that have videos attached to them to give you a visual for what your dough is supposed to look like when you're done kneading, particularly ones that demonstrate how to check for a gluten window. Getting the consistency of dough right is something that takes practice and experience, so expect to struggle with it a bit at first, but having more than just a textual "knead until you have a smooth dough" can help a lot with getting your bearings.

I've got a breadmaker I can sell you if you want it. I was literally just talking about getting rid of it yesterday.

I think this is the one I have. If not, then it's close:

Apparently there's a whole science to making bread. It seems like a really complicated and time-consuming process. It's definitely worth it to learn, though. Imagine having the power to just make whatever bread you want whenever you want it... amazing. Plus you can avoid all the added shit they put into bread in stores because we can't just have normal food in 'Murica. It's a win win!

It can be, but it doesn't have to be. A lot of the science you can find is a matter of trying to optimize it, not anything you need to consider just to make a decent loaf. Remember that humans have been making bread for the entirety of recorded history, long before any sort of advanced understanding of microbiology or protein interactions or chemistry. Just measure the ingredients to roughly the right ratios and follow the directions of whatever recipe you pick and you'll be fine.

I think you don't have to knead if you have a bread machine.

You don't have to knead, but you do still have to measure out ingredients, which may require more strength/dexterity than their hands can manage. Otherwise, yes, a bread machine can help get around that disability.

I'm all about bread in general. It's one of my biggest food weaknesses.

My almost 4 year old son loves sourdough and rye breads. He asked the other day if we could learn how to make sourdough from scratch.
