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

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] humble_boatsman@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

You better up that smite'n. Its pretty corrupt out there.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months 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 :)

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 2 points 3 months 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.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months 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.

[–] addiks@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] Redacted@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Streamer but in like a chill way, no subs

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] dditty@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I'd follow Phish in concert

[–] ImmersiveMatthew@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months 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.

I'd design and build useful things

[–] countrypunk@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months 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.

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months 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.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] vin@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 months ago

Politics. Gotta ensure that utopia survives and expands

[–] DCErik@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Join a 3rd band, I guess.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Study more JiuJitsu and physiotherapy for poor people.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I'd dive fully into circuitboard electronics

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

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I would build affordable housing.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months 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.

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

Make video games or digital interactive art pieces for VR
