I'm an amazing shot but I don't suffer from main character syndrome, so I'd be the stoned to the bone quartermaster who cleans all guns just for fun.

I'm the guy forcing all of the poets to mine coal and all of the coal miners to write poetry.

I'll sort everyone into their houses. Sorry, you're Slitherin 😔

I make chili and cornbread in industrial vats. We tell you that it's vegan, but the beanis are actually the ground up remains of beanis posters from badposting.

Last time I had chili at the hexbear compound it was too spicy, and when I asked for milk you gave me soy milk and I said "nooo it doesn't gave the enzyme that disables capsaicin!" and you all called me a milkboy nerd while I cried into my chili.

I'm the cook. My specialties are delicious hearty meals and hormones.

as much as i would like to be the cute trans librarian there also needs to be a strong agricultural workforce in order to make shit work so I guess Ill work the fields, ill bring my copy of Four Season Harvest though! it could be really cool!

Animal handler. There's going to be so many furry friends it'll be a full time job to keep them out of trouble.

I just hope all the routers are gone so I don't have to ever touch one again. Maybe I could be a beekeeper or something where being psychotically detail oriented is harmless

The internet kind or the woodworking kind?

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'll be making liquor. There's a good chance I end up consuming a large chunk of it though

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I am going to be making r/prisonhooch so proud with the amount of highly questionable alcohol i'll be making

You ever make skeeter pee? Not the worst thing I've ever drank

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

no but i should. i really want to try and make umqombothi one of these days

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 3 points 4 hours ago

umqombothi

Oh that's interesting. Sounds kinda like South American chicha corn beer.

Skeeter pee is super easy to make and almost tastes good.

Who need they spreadsheet mined?

But probably general maintenance. My favorite jobs were all fixing stuff: engines, guns, lasers, robots, computers, music gear, etc.

If possible, I'd love to work on modernizing the ancient spaghetti that holds up modern software infrastructure. Please let me be the people's rewriter in rust.

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 2 points 1 hour ago

Serious question: I'm learning Rust right now (3/4 of the way through the Rust Book), and along with it I want to learn the basics of proper software engineering (i.e. API design, project hierarchy, modularity, etc.), but I'm unsure of where to start. Can you recommend any good resources for beginners?

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

i can reinstall windows or macos for you

i also give great massages

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 5 points 8 hours ago

Unironically I'd love to help the cooking comrades.

However if we needed a teacher for writing or other humanities stuff I could cover that.

I could also work in the joker-gaming gulag as a friend for coop play.

My post-apocalyptic commune fantasy has been to be the gruff older guy who's secretly a softie, who fixes machines and gadgets, or build new ones out of scrap that the young whippersnappers haul back to the commune.

I can produce our podcast (we're going to have a podcast, right?) and help maintain our fleet of bicycles. Possibly trains and/or tanks too, as needed.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

(Antiwork joke aside, I'll probably end up doing a lot of dishes and occasionally fixing things)

I can bake a mean loaf of bread.
