Ask Lemmy

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

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

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.

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.

Organise more and better LARPs

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

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

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

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.

Start painting or some shit idk

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.

The same life but without the pressure of a job.

Learn shit.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Write, write until I drop dead, with a smile in my face.

Streamer but in like a chill way, no subs

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

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.

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.

Without joking, most likely I would watch more Lemmy.

Fish

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

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 :)

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.

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

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

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.

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.
