Start painting or some shit idk

[-] vin@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 month ago

Politics. Gotta ensure that utopia survives and expands

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Write sci fi novels and take care of stray cats

[-] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Lemming6969@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Continue to work and fuck over poor people is very popular.

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

I would find work where I enjoy myself, and get a hobby of travelling the world and documenting cultures

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] addiks@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

I'd make a few kids with my wife, make my private pilot license and travel the world with my family by plane (as the pilot, of course). In the meantime I build aviation related open source software.

[-] PoorYorick@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

like what? a generation sounds a little extreme...

[-] PoorYorick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Some will probably exist as exhibition pieces in places like Williamsburg, but a lot of the practical skill and techniques are in danger of being lost due to lack of use. Among the skills that I would like to see preserved are things like flint knapping, blacksmithing (blade smithing is still doing fairly well), foraging, manual land navigation, and to an extent manual stone carving / banking masonry.

Much of the manual nature of these skills has been replaced by automation or handheld electronics, so they are practiced by a dwindling number of artisans.

[-] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Kualdir@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

Game (and probably stream myself doing so) a lot, get more exercise, volunteer a bit, probably contribute to open source projects a lot more

[-] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] Grizzlyboy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Write, read and analyze literature. Hopefully I’ll be able to do it as a job.

[-] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The same life but without the pressure of a job.

[-] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] tauren@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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.

Do so much more with horses Video games Art

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I would still be programming. Just that it would be the projects I want to do, instead of the ones my employer wants to do.

[-] Redacted@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Streamer but in like a chill way, no subs

[-] Broadfern@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

Beat on red hot metal with a hammer, and fly hot air balloons.

So all that would change is that my basic needs would actually be met.

I'd throw parties probably, but only if poverty were eliminated for everyone.

[-] die444die@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I mean I think you can still throw some parties even before then. Just keep it realistic.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Basic needs only? Still work so I can have money to do more than just basic things.
