Ask Lemmy

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.

Organise more and better LARPs

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

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.

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.

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

The same life but without the pressure of a job.

Write sci fi novels and take care of stray cats

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

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

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

I would take classes for stuff that actually interests me. And spend more time on hobbies. It's pretty obvious to me honestly. I don't understand how people get depressed and bored when they retire. It actually makes no sense to me. It's super common too. People feel like they "have no purpose" and absolutely crumble in retirement. It blows my mind. I feel like those people are super fucking boring and have no interests.

I wish I could be a perpetual student attending college. And open a business that im passionate about.

Learn shit.

Streamer but in like a chill way, no subs

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.

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.

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.

Fish

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.

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.

Without joking, most likely I would watch more Lemmy.

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.

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