Ask Lemmy

Organise more and better LARPs

Peter Gibbons: I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.

Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man.

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

I'm there. I'm hanging out with friends, spending time in nature, I have a few hobbies, and the rest of the time I'm summoning the wrath of the gods and goddesses to smite the corrupt powers of the world.

So, I'm pretty content.

When all your needs are met, you help others with theirs.

Indie game development. Except more full time instead of just on weekends like I do now.

Exercise, drink wine, read more, and take tons of road trips.

Make music, perform music, make games, make movies, write small books and maybe draw pictures.

And then I would try out being a research attorney, being an EMT, a pilot, maybe working with NASA at some point and working for some government agency specializing in digital warfare.

People always assume if you had everything you would just sit at home and be lazy and never try anything. But from my experience you don't do that shit just because you're complacent, you do it because either you are way too stressed out to try out new stuff or you are in the middle of a depressive episode. Almost all people I know wouldn't be able to be lazy for more than 2 weeks, they would start making something.

Find a deserted corner in the Pacific Northwest temperate rainforest, likely up near Haida Gawaii, and just… vanish.

I like civilization in general for the benefits it brings. I even like a few people. But humanity in general…

I truly enjoy solitude.

Acting and singing. Studied Musical Theater in my twenties but couldn't see myself making a living at it.

Write sci fi novels and take care of stray cats

Spend as much time as I could in nature or playing video games. Or playing video games while in nature. Lots of camping.

I teach philosophy for a living these days.

I’d probably keep doing that, but less of it.

I’d also do a lot of writing.

Learn shit.

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

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.

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

Start painting or some shit idk

The same life but without the pressure of a job.

Become a blacksmith. I'd make all sorts of things.

And a welder. And a tool and die man.

I'd work with metal. And at some point I'd make a point to learn glass blowing because it's cool.

I've been using the stress of needing to do things to keep me going. Without it I can't even imagine what I'd do.

Travel, learn culture science theologie languages and so much more, teach

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 would make radio. I do one show a week and I sometimes struggle to find time to even prepare for that, so if time weren't an issue I'd probably end up just doing a load more.

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

I would walk my dog, lift weights, study foreign languages, help my community

I'm into bird watching, so I'd want to travel to see new ones and what have you.

I would want to craft more.

I would read more.

I would take language lessons

I would work on that book idea

I would take classes on anything that interested me.

I would want to have a small farm, I just think it's neat.

Would study and do arts and use our findings and research to help improve the world in some kind of way, even if its a little.

Without joking, most likely I would watch more Lemmy.

A podcast about the pre-columbian Americas which in all honesty would be a Hardcore History knockoff.

I would become an author and write plenty of fiction, poems, short stories. I might also get into game development. And if time permits, I would even pick up on astronomy.

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.

Still work but at a reduced rate and else I would actually think about volunteering or improving my living conditions like a garden or tech at gome :)

Go into teaching. I love to assist others in their learning voyage, I love science, research, classes. However, financial realities mean that I would be starving if I pursued that path. So I find fulfillment in adjacent activities in my current line of work. I would also have an electronics workshop, repairing computers and other electronics for fun.

Do so much more with horses Video games Art
