The Moon.

Failing that, Low Earth Orbit.

I would go to Freemoneyland and get free money

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

Japan. Several European countries.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

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.

Damn we have similar goals but different reasons. I want to have been on all continents and I am obsessed with going to Antarctica. If I had the money, I would want to stand on the planet's axis. And have the whole world actually revolve around me. Doing this on the North Pole too would be great, but it's not a continent and therefore has second place.

And now, can you elaborate the weird stuff the sun does at the poles? Besides polar night and polar day?

My son asked me this yesterday. Japan.

Alpha Centauri

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Yup, if the Arctic is fully booked, why not to go to Norway 😁

[–] [email protected] 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

Fly to Frankfurt for fairly cheap. Take the train to Munich and the train to Vienna from there and attend at least a few. Get a cheaper “stay” in the outer districts that are still connected via train. Check if there is offers on “Groupon” for it potentially. Could probably make it with 2k/2.5k

[–] [email protected] 9 points 20 hours ago

Tokyo. Splurge in Akihabara and eat some authentic ramen.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 hours ago

Well if money is no object then a world tour that lasts the rest of my life, thanks (or if I can use this magic purse on behalf of others instead, stay home and buy up all the world's debt, sponsor a jubilee year.)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

I'd donate alot to my local makerspace then take unpaid leave for a good while and just make things. If I had to travel i would probably go to Germany to see a few friends, it's been too long.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago

Italian wine tour for a couple of months

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Probably Amsterdam or Copenhagen for a few weeks,

properly experience a walkable city with good transit and cycling infrastructure

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

It's amazing. I recommend sitting outside the central train station in Amsterdam and people watching, as thousands of tourists attempt to bicycle or walk somewhere, and they're just in everybody's way. It's hilarious. If you're going to cycle (which, yes, you should) stay to the right and signal where you want to go. There are bike lanes there for you to take, don't just be off in the middle of the street. Also, they want you to pay for an extra ticket to bring your bike on the train with you, I found that this can be ignored if you're not a jerk about it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

Having visited both and now living in Copenhagen, it could change your life to visit! Great places to be a tourist
