Ask Lemmy

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.

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.

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

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 :)

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Do so much more with horses Video games Art

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.

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.

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

Study more JiuJitsu and physiotherapy for poor people.

Join a 3rd band, I guess.

I would build affordable housing.

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

Write, travel

Go back to the low paying job that I really liked but couldn't afford.

Politics. Gotta ensure that utopia survives and expands

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.

I'd design and build useful things

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

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.

Make video games or digital interactive art pieces for VR

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

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

Kung fu, charitable volunteering, and any intellectual challenge I could take on.

I'd make a lot of paintings, learn how to animate, compose a gigaton of music, make a graphic novel, collect analog synths and various folk instruments, gaze at the stars, go camping a lot, make a garden of native plants, design my house to be optimal and asestically pleasing, read a lot of books, spend time with friends, host a server or two. And travel. Lots of travel but I'd do travel where I stay in one place for months as opposed to multiple in a couple of weeks so that I could really absorb the culture.

I'd dive fully into circuitboard electronics

play more games learn to draw maybe pick up a new language.
