You like repairing microwaves. - Lemmy.World

If there was no such thing as working for pay, what would you do?
Lifelong learning. I would’ve stayed in school forever if I could have.
I’d totally be an Archaeologist or Paleontologist
Everyone here saying they would fix microwaves for the love of it. Fascinating.
I’d devote myself to teaching and storytelling. And my harem.
Road trip, and visit everywhere.
I’d work on my profession, but build actually useful stuff.
Product and package design, probably. Reading and watching about how X thing was created is one thing, and I learnt to enjoy it a lot thanks to Discovery, but making something someone would call their daily driver and stop even noticing is a very sweet goal. Making things just like for yourself, and not like for a faceless consumer who doesn’t know better, and testing every weird idea on prototypes until pieces fall into place. And waste, fuck it, I hate how single-use plastic and slackfill are everywhere and I wish to exclude them as much as possible.
I’d do what I’m doing now, but it would be helping out schools and libraries and not companies.
Photograph and study birds, no question.
Wetland or ocean ecologist. If the world is also Star Trek, probably the same honestly, I’d just be en exo-evologist lol
Open source software development.
What I do now - software developer/DevOps guy
I would love to just find a house with some good workspace, get a few old lathes and mills and such, and just fiddle around making cool shit.
