Ask Lemmy

Stand up comedian.

Oil rigger. I'm simply not built for that level of manual labour day in day out. I wouldn't last a day.

Any job that involves moving around in four dimensions. I can't imagine that at all.

Since someone already said HR: Middle management. I don't want to be making life changing decisions for other people at the behest of what someone else thinks shareholders want.

Construction, plumer, carpentry, any handwork job like these basicly. Exception would be baker, cook, stuff like that.

I am just not geneticly made for heavy labor, which is ironic because my entire family is doing that more or less. I just won the brains genes not the brawns

The one I am being paid to do, rather browse lemmy.

Simple one? Waiter, my uncle has been working on it since he was a 14yo and he's fucked up health wise. I don't want that for me

Anything related to specieism : butcher, breeding animals, selling cheese or whatever twisted shit speceists consume. 😬

Phlebotomy.

Blood makes me queasy

Most of them.

Might I suggest American Truck Simulator / Euro Truck Simulator 2. It doesn't cover snow and ice but does do rain that causes loss of traction and maneuverability at speed, as well as delivery deadlines, drowsiness, traffic citations, road closures and events, basic damage and wear, managing air brakes and fuel, and of course handling the trucks and their different types of trailers (and the cargo of various shapes, sizes) in a ton of situations.

I've put a few hundred hours into the two and if you can play with a friend it becomes a rather relaxed game for just talking and chilling out, but with a goal in mind. Can get chaotic sometimes, making mistakes like missing an exit or running short on time.

And for ATS they are releasing two 'road trip' dlc soon, with 4 vehicles each from Dodge/RAM and Ford, so you can make money with your rig and then race your friends cannonball-style down route 66, or from Washington to Louisiana (current furthest southeast state available for dlc), Montana to Texas, or wherever else.

All the imagined stress, all the silly shenanigans, none of the dread of wiping out an entire family in a minivan as you smash into it.

(I quite like these games, if you can't tell)

E: actually, it does do snow - there's a yearly holiday event that takes you to the 'north pole' for delivering gift boxes and whatnot. But no snow on the traditional map.

I could never do most medical care jobs. About the only thing I could do is work in the pharmacy, and even then they sometimes have to give people vaccinations. I might be able to do that but that’s still pushing my general squeamishness.
