Based on experience: play video games for too long instead of eating, watch movies they don’t normally enjoy, and forget to go to sleep at a reasonable time.

Fucked up sleep pattern for the win.
This
A dog or a cat may help with the last one. They will let you stay up too late, but they won't let you sleep in.
My dog is a 13 years old couch potato. He gets angry when I try to get him outside while its still dark :D

Eat at arbitrary times when I'm hungry, and eat lots of spicy food. Smoke weed and play computer games. Feel a bit lonely.

That sounds wonderful, even the lonely part. I feel we don't appreciate the valance that some time alone can bring since we are social (ish) animals.
It's hugely valuable. I love my partner deeply, but I often fall into a trap of imagining that life was simpler an dmore fun when I didn't have to care about another person's needs and could just be the goblin inside. But when I actually get the chance, the novelty wears off pretty quick and I'm so happy when they're back.
Go to that restaurant she hates. Turn the thermostat down. A bunch of carpentry and other home-improvement.
Not mushrooms, again.
Before my partner left for a work trip he showed me his stash of mushrooms in the freezer.
I wasn't big into mushrooms since my first and only trip to that date, where I spent five hours wide awake in my room, believing my curtains, lamp and bedspread were going to dismember me and absorb my nutrients (my curtains were an amoeba.) But my boyfriend made a pretty good case for blending up a microdose fruit smoothie and chilling while he was away. He told me there were different kinds of shrooms, that I needed to measure the dose and just create a chill vibe.
Day one, I didn't even think about the freezer stash. By day three I was so bored and alone I figured, what the hell?
Anyway, he came home to an impressive blanket fort in the living room and a box of farraday mesh fabric I bought to stop the robots because I watched Ex Machina.
I'd diagnose this response as 10% the effect of mushrooms and 90% the effect of watching Ex Machina alone. I walked out of my room at 1am shell shocked from that movie and had a quick conversation with my roommate in the kitchen that i remember nothing about except how reassured i felt that she wasn't a robot. Excellent movie.
Sounds like I picked the wrong movie to watch on shrooms. Or... the right one.
Watching Splice on ecstacy was worse.
Cook food that he doesn't like
I can eat the stuff that literally kills him. At home. Without worry!
Go to bed on time finally
Humblebrag
Nah. She is a night-owl and always stays up for hours later than myself. Which makes it really hard to get up from the couch and go to bed for me in turn.
I ain't wearing any pants.
They're asking what you would do differently
I have not yet had a relationship where my SO didn't force me to wear pants around my own house. 😭
That's criminal, you need to demand leg freedom
You're making me glad I'm single. Home is where the nekid is. Anything else is criminal. If I'm wearing pants at home it's either because I'm waiting on a delivery or cooking bacon.
Would invite my best friend for a sleepover, and we’d watch movies or a series together that he would never watch with me.
Listen to music I was into in my teens & twenties and sing out loud. Cook grub. Clean the flat. Read books on couch and go to sleep early. Probably start a project that will be left unfinished on the table. Enjoy the peace & quiet. Then walk around talking to myself and get annoyed for being lonely and bored.
Definitely binge gaming.
def having music on 24/7
lame why would you wait til im not there
Completely reorganize the kitchen, including cutlery drawers, appliances, and so on. Clean out the fridge and freezer, wiping down the walls and shelves. Organize and rotate all jars, cans, and boxes of food forward, like you'd see in a grocery store. Do this to the pantry as well. Top to bottom kitchen cleaning: sweep, mop, wipe down all surfaces.
Then, as a reward, I'll slap my dragon dildo on the kitchen island and have my way with it while watching yuri on my Samsung fridge, covering myself in whipped cream and fruit syrups, losing myself multiple times right before I finally serve myself dessert. Yum.
I was going to put something different, but id like to change my answer. This is the correct one.
My wife’s a meal planner, I’m more of a ‘whatever’s in the house’ type of cook. Just throw random shit together if it even sounds close to good. So I’d probably just do lots of stir-fries of all the random ingredients for planned meals that didn’t happen but still live in our freezer.
She’d return to what appears to be freezer that I cleaned out, and I will have put next to no thought into cooking.
Catch up on video games, reading, and maybe some shows they don't care for.
Assuming twin went with partner to make the house truly empty, I'd be calling both of them each day, and otherwise dancing with the cat. She's nervous so less people maybe she'd let me affectionate her more.
Watch a horror movie
Time to get some lube, plugs, and dildos and get into anal
While I’m sure I’d have ambitious ideas, mostly no
- no shoes
- no thinking, planning or scheduling
- no bed time
- no pants
But a few more
- more garlic
- more spice
- more meals she would never eat.
- and a key lime pie, dammit
Lots of porn I assume
If you had asked few months ago I would've said that I'd watch outrageous amounts of porn and consume substances but now I'd just do more of what I would normally be doing anyway. Well, maybe I'd watch a movie or two. Perhaps go to sauna and have few beers.
Lots of garlic in the food
Good time for disruptive projects like electrical work and power tools inside
Find out how many times I can hammer one off before it starts to hurt.
Play video games, watch movies they don't like and invite friends over for game night or cocktails mixing and hookah!
Corncakes whenever I remember that I have a stomach!
