Ask Lemmy

The Moon.

Failing that, Low Earth Orbit.

I handle this, as do most poor people, by not asking ourselves this question, not even fantasizing about it, for why torture yourself with something you never can do?

I would go to Freemoneyland and get free money

The sun.

The fuckin moon, and it's not even close. Get me off this rock

I'd just rent a cabin in a nearby mountain.

I don't see the appeal in going far away from vacation.

Japan. Several European countries.

Probably any other country where I could get a doctor to take a look at my heart condition without having to take out a loan against my house to pay for it.

I'd like to see Japan deeply. I'd go all the way across the country and make sure to stay at rural spots along the way to enjoy the stillness between cities.

Honestly I wanna do an expedition to the North Pole and see the sun do weird shit. Then treck to the South Pole so I can see the sun do weird shit but backwards. Like I know that sun is a weird freak when it doesn't think you're looking, that's why it does it at the poles. Then along the way from North to south I'll tell people how weird the sun is, and they'll have to believe me because I've been there, and they'll have to say "damn the sun is weird". Sun's going to be so embarrassed when everyone finds out how weird it is.

That or like go to Cancun or something. Anywhere that I can keep track of the sun that twisted freak you aren't fooling me.

My son asked me this yesterday. Japan.

Alpha Centauri

A tour through the Nordic countries.

I've only ever seen Sweden from the highway from Malmö to Stockholm to get to a boat to Estonia in time, and only saw bits of the harbor in Helsinki during that trip. I'd love to take more time to explore Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

1996

I'd buy millions of people millions of epic exotic vacations.

Alpha Centauri system. I'd keep spending money until we got a working fusion reactor and Alcubierre Drive, open source the designs, and go check that shit out.

Vienna. The opera season this year couldn't be better, I'd stay the year and go every night.

Tokyo. Splurge in Akihabara and eat some authentic ramen.

There's a place out in Washington State called Dirtfish. They call it a "rally school". For a bunch of money they'll give you a kickass Subaru and let you tear around a dirt track for a few days. Looks awesome.

Money is no object?

Alpha Centauri. Build a spacious and comfortable Orion Drive ship for me and a few thousand of my best friends to go on a nice long trip.

Italian wine tour for a couple of months

Earth.

Like, the whole fucking thing more or less.

Might take me the rest of my life and I still won't see it all, but if money is no object...

Amtrak does the train equivalent of a cruise liner, where you spend about half a month on a sleeper car travelling all over America. It's cheaper than an actual cruise line, and more importantly I think trains are cool.

Edit: forgot about the unlimited money. I guess I would pay to replace all the rails in north america first so I have a smooth ride the whole time.

Probably Amsterdam or Copenhagen for a few weeks,

properly experience a walkable city with good transit and cycling infrastructure

I would love to visit New Zealand. I'm a canuk and I hear they are like a better weather version of my country...I've also never met a kiwi that wasn't a stand up person.
