I’d probably teach something like scuba diving.
I’d start with gardening, fishing, road tripping, camping, hiking, but I think that might eventually not be stimulating enough. I’d probably pickup a hobby that would enable artistic expression. Maybe pottery, or stained glass?
Get high and scroll Lemmy, apparently
I can answer this because it’s true. I work out daily, cook every meal, hangout all day with my dogs, explore YouTube rabbit holes, and read scifi. Without an alarm, I’m suddenly a morning person. Up by five with energy. I’m trying to figure out my next move. Weird thing is, it’s probably another career. Just on my terms
House in the middle of the woods, with internet connection. It’s the weird eremite techno wizard life for me.
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.
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’d love to go back to school, not for better grades, but purely for learning. There are some interesting af fields out there!
Make and restore furniture. Build shit. Garden. Read. Organize and fill out my media library. Learn programming and try to fix some of the problems I’m dealing with on Linux. Probably socialize more because I wouldn’t be tired of dealing with people and stressed out from work all the time.
If I were rich Id open a “Nerd-pub” board games, tabletop games, arcade machines, pool tables, pinball machines…
If I were just “doing ok” id probably start a youtube channel buying really cheap cars of FB marketplace and just reviewing how much of a piece of shit I’ve bought this month.
Have you heard of the Trash Network and Garbage Time?
Heh, I do now. Dudes pretty entertaining.
Game (and probably stream myself doing so) a lot, get more exercise, volunteer a bit, probably contribute to open source projects a lot more
Work out, do DIY at home, volunteer at my local cat shelter and dedicate more time to making music, gaming and general computer fiddlin’. If it was literally just basic needs with no cash maybe host some services for people on a small scale or teach about self hosting for money to afford luxuries.
Volunteer at a rescue centre to help the dogs and other animals
When the weather is good, be outside as much as possible. Do more long-distance, or even multi-day treks. Dick around in the woods more (survival skills for fun, learn more about identifying local plants and fungi, etc). Bring a book and some basic snacks, and hang out in public park space more often (we’ve got some beautiful spaces here). Basically just a lot more exploration, primarily on foot, bike, or skateboard depending on distance and energy level.
When the weather is crap, spend more time keeping my place in order and looking nice. Listen to music, read books, maybe try and get more deliberate about a writing habit. Pick a public indoor space of some kind and become a regular. Maybe volunteer.
Spend more time working on good habits to keep the energy level up for the above long term.
Travel, learn culture science theologie languages and so much more, teach
