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.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Do so much more with horses Video games Art

[–] Azal@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

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

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week 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 week ago

Streamer but in like a chill way, no subs

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I'd follow Phish in concert

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week 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 :)

[–] GarboDog@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] Delvin4519@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Move to Canada, Europe, or Aus/NZ.

Most likely scroll through Lemmy and play video games, pursue hobbies.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] figjam@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

I'd probably teach something like scuba diving.

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

[–] DCErik@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Join a 3rd band, I guess.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Study more JiuJitsu and physiotherapy for poor people.

[–] countrypunk@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I would build affordable housing.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week 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.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I'd dive fully into circuitboard electronics

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

write music and go fishing

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago

Make video games or digital interactive art pieces for VR
