Ask Lemmy

2 chicks at the same time

First year I'd definitely visit all Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Make a tiny caravan and travel all over

Politics. Gotta ensure that utopia survives and expands

I'm a software engineer so I'd probably seek a way to use my skills in a way that benefits people, possibly something tied to volunteering work I already do. And also contribute to some open source project.

I'd try to maintain a somewhat regular working schedule but with fewer hours per day than I currently spend at my job. Maybe I'd travel and work from different places.

Knowing me, do what I normally do in my free time, but hopefully actually get projects done.

I'd have plenty of time to play games, watch my shows, listen to CDs/music, hopefully finish a project I started on Wattpad or another program, and spend time learning coding to help with my NeoCities site and some other projects I wanna work on but don't know enough to make become a realiety.

I think the saying “if more money wouldn’t change the way you live your life, then you’re already rich” applies to me pretty well. I don’t think my life would be all that different. Maybe I’d spend more time working on my own projects instead of customers’, but generally speaking, there’s nothing I’m not doing because of financial limitations.

My ultimate goal, though, would be to buy a small old farm with some land and spend the rest of my adult life working on that.

Work on Free Open Source Software. Seriously, I fucking love software engineering and I can't really imagine doing anything else with my life. In fact, that's kinda my current plan - work towards financial independence and then work on things that matter to me, on my own terms. I really hope I won't get burned out somewhere in the process.

I'd like to think I'd actually do all the art I'm too fucking stressed to sit down and focus on. Maybe make a video game or two.

My long term wish has always been to fuck off to somewhere not-too-warm and tropical, and write stories from a place where I can see the sea.

Travel, camp, travel. Play with dog

I’d sell all my things to just travel. Living in one place and being stuck in a routine is like a mental prison for me.

Make music, check it out:

I don't make money from it so I'd still do it even if all my needs were met.

Probably continue to work in transpiration with special needs school kids. My job isn't so much about money to me at this point I'm deeply emotionally invested.

Run an animal sanctuary and grow lots of veggies and flowers

Retire. Fighting my medical conditions is a full time job as it is.

I’d be a teacher

Write, program, cook, maybe have sex

I'd dive fully into circuitboard electronics

Sounds like it would have to be free or low cost hobby. So probably I'd go hiking, and camping while reading books and making coffee with my aeropress

Basically yurucamp. A nice cosy anime. You should watch it

If there's somehow a way in this utopia scenario to also maintain a moped like a Honda supercub or vespa, add that as well as I cruise around between hiking and camp sites

Yes I can do that right now but you know how it is what it is

Fish

make art

Open a non-profit primitive skills school. There are several of these skills that are rapidly dying and will likely be gone within a generation.

Be a librarian. I always felt like being a custodian to knowledge was a noble pursuit, and I respect librarians alot for it. I never went into the field myself because I couldn't afford the schooling just to get a job that in my area, doesn’t pay very well. If pay wasn't a problem? Hoo boy!

So many hobbies

Work on myself for a good long while, then live a quiet happy life with some cats and, should i be so lucky, a partner i have mutual love and respect with.

See how deep the ADHD-hobby-collection rabbit hole can go 😁

Nothing.

write music and go fishing

Probably mostly cooking, cleaning, going on adventures with the dog, playing music, and smoking extravagant amounts of weed

Go around pantsing people all day. Go so hard that it starts to feel like work. Then pants myself and end it all.

Also my research but with less bs

Volunteer, hands down. Local community stuff, create something akin to a co-op public broadcasting channel, spend time with my animals, bake and donate goods.

Volunteer at various non-profits. I am (sadly) one of those people that "need" to work in some capacity in order to fill fulfilled. I also need structure, which I'm not very good at building for myself. I need to be held accountable (such as being expected to show up to work at a certain time), and work has always helped me do that.

I'm about to leave my current job with no back-up plan, and while my savings and partner will provide for me for the rest of the year, I'm kinda dreading not having structure. I'll probably volunteer somewhere.

Get on my bike and see how far it could take me. And when I was done with that I would go build bike trails for my community.

All I want to do in life is make music, woodworking, and gardening for food. I would do that until I expired with a smile on my face.

Pick up learning new languages and how to draw and make music. Create the things i think would be awesome but nobody else wants to and i cant because i dont have the money to learn efficently the skills required. Live in a nice little house in the woods with someone who loves me for who i am. Eat healthy and exercise.

Make stuffed animals and donate them to hospitals, fire stations, and police stations

Organize town-wide scavenger hunts

Learn to cook good food and give it away to people who want some

Start a group that would teach people how to use a sewing machine.

Organize a bearded dragon rescue.

Trim people's hedges

Make videos to share all my knowledge with people for free

Write only free code. Right now, probably 80% of my code is free. I’d bump that up to 100%.

You know those people who restore old machinery and equipment? Locomotives, historic warships, industrial sites and so on? I'd absolutely be dedicating my day to that. There's something so satisfying about seeing that old stuff work, but they're always chronically understaffed and struggling to keep up with everything.

Oh, and write a novel.
