I don't think I'd ever leave the makerspace.

[-] Zacryon@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

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

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 :)

[-] ImmersiveMatthew@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Exactly what I am already doing. imagineering my top rated VR Theme Park and explore SE Asia and other parts of the world. Love both.

Haha I like to be silly at work sometimes after I’ve already paid the big monthly expenses. I say, “I’m here to do two things help kids and pay bills, and I’m all outta bills.” I would continue to work in my field on a part time basis. Then I would make time for a few doctor appointments and start going to therapy again. I’d walk my dog at different parks more often. Hopefully id make more time with my friends and family assuming they have the same deal. I would want to be more involved with my community too.

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.

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

Exercise to get healthy and work on my garden, to start. Then I'd handle any necessary projects for my home. Then I'd find causes to support by volunteering.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Metal, leather and wood working. Bee keeping and running a little shop

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

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.

[-] seeigel@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Without joking, most likely I would watch more Lemmy.

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

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.

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] DCErik@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Join a 3rd band, I guess.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I would build affordable housing.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Read a lot of books. Swim. Go for coffee anytime I could with friends. Volunteer. Sit and stare out the window at the rain. Foster parenting.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'd spend more time playing guitar and chess and spend more time with my son.

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

I'd design and build useful things

[-] Rin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I'd make things like drones or robots or something.

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Travel, meet with friends, play video games, watch some movies.

[-] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

A) mental health would absolutely improve so I'd have more energy for

B) producing more shows and putting on more events. Personally I don't want to retire because I want to create a career where if I did retire I'd just do what I was doing anyway. I'm kinda doing that now but I have more BS and stress to deal with.

[-] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago

Make video games or digital interactive art pieces for VR

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I'd be one of those old school naturalists and just, like, go live in a swamp for three years with one pair of clothes, a cot, a journal, and a pencil.

[-] JayGray91@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

Build things, well, until I get tired of it. The ADHD is strong and I hate fine finish work.

[-] marx2k@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'd dive fully into circuitboard electronics

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

Also my research but with less bs

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Produce documentaries all the fucking time

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

Write, travel

[-] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

write music and go fishing

[-] dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Study more JiuJitsu and physiotherapy for poor people.

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Make my pottery, dive deeper into woodworking, and learn permaculture farming.
