Ask Lemmy

US. If given the choice I'd have to say on board the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 D, specifically.

Spain and ... Spain.

I've been around enough countries to know that nowhere is perfect, but living in the scruffy bit of the EU that has sexy dancing and short shorts is the right place for me

Not telling, but I would choose not to live in any country.

I wish to live in the depths of a nameless, unpopulated ocean of body temperature gel which both nurtures and protects me as I float through it in a perpetual sleep.

US

Ideally I'd really like to live in an alternate history version of the US where we got our shit together at some point. I overall really like this country, there's a lot of cool things and places here, and while a lot of the bad stereotypes about us are based in truth, I do find my countrymen to be overall friendly (it should maybe be noted that I'm a cis straight white guy)

Estonia, still would live here if I'd have a choice.

I'm already used to living here, built my life up here and there isn't a serious enough reason to leave, for now.

Lithuania. And honestly probably still lithuania ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Somewhere in the nordics would also be nice

Canada. I would like to live in the Netherlands mainly because the infrastructure there is amazing. I like to BMW (Bike, Metro, Walk) anywhere I go and in Canada, most of the world actually, that's not always an option and is sometimes incredibly dangerous.

Also, AFAIK, the Netherlands is the only country in the world to have truly car-free neighbourhoods. *Which is amazing because it seems no matter where I go in Canada there's always one or several jackasses that decided the only way to get themselves to work in the morning is to burn gasoline in the loudest way possible.

Germany. I like it here, still anywhere in the EU is nice.

I live in India, and i wouldn't choose any other country. Thanks for this question !!

Ireland. I'd happily live in more or less any European country. Ireland is pretty great though IMO, especially for raising kids.

Australia, would prefer to be in the EU, France

nice try feds

US, if my avatar didn't already make that clear. My short list is Canada, Norway, Germany, France, New Zealand, Chile, in no particular order. Basically, places with snowy mountains and ski resorts.

It's hard to pick just one place, though. There are so many beautiful and interesting spots in the world.

U.S., I'd gladly move to Canada or the U.K. tomorrow if I could.

I live in Canada.

It's fine, I guess. But my biggest regret is that I didn't register my dual citizenship (child of portuguese citizens) so that I could explore the E.U. and settle down somewhere in Europe. Now, I'm 50, with too many bills to pay.

Grab opportunities when you're young, kids. If you don't, then before you realize it, you'll be to stuck in the bullshit mundanity of daily life to do it later.

Sweden. Specifically, Gotland. Started in England. Ended up here eventually. Wouldnt change it for anything. Love it here.

Norway.

Would stay in northern Europe, central Europe at the most. Need my four seasons and I can't stand weather above 25 degrees, so northern UK would work too I guess.

Wish I could deal with the heat better as there are so many fantastic places further south.

Denmark, and Denmark. If I had to leave, then I'd prefer Taiwan or Netherlands

USA -> Denmark

Janteloven, disdain for hierarchy, introverted culture, respect for rules, bicycles. What's not to love?

Nz, and probably somewhere warmer.

Switzerland and Switzerland. Doesn't get much better.

Germany.

If I had to leave (not that unrealistic, considering predictions for the next federal election), it would probably be New Zealand. Seems to be one of the few English-speaking countries that hasn't gone crazy yet and cold enough that I might survive climate change for a few years longer than here.

Scotland and Scotland. I love it here. Even though it's raining as I write - don't have to worry about watering the garden.

I live in USA. If I could, I'd live in Canada

Somewhere cold, with trains, and good social welfare programs. Seems like a Scandanavian country would work for me.

This is kinda tough nowadays as while there is a clear place you would want to avoid there is no clear place to go. I mean maybe some nordic countries. Globally things are crazy. Now that being said im a city boy and really like toronto mainly because of being able to bring you pet on the metro. I live in the us and honestly one thing that makes it difficult to go someplace else is we are dragging so many places down with us.

I live in the US. I can't think of a country without problems but if I had to pick it would probably be Finland, Spain, Germany, or Ireland. However, as Mark Burgess says, "A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days".

Japan.

The US.

Denmark.

NZ and still NZ nothing against other countries but I just don't like the way people are compared to how they are here. Its not about niceness people overseas are much nicer. Comforts of home I guess. I'd maybe move from Auckland to Dunedin again or to smaller 100k town in the north island.

I lived in three countries and they were mostly the same.

I'm happy where I live in the USA. I just wish my fellow citizens were not choosing mental illness, but I have have no say over that and those same social forces are prevalent in most other countries with social media.

I'm also kind of sick of listing to them whine about how poor they are when they are so rich, but what they really are is incredibly jealous and bitter that someone else has more money than they do.

I now live in China after a few years in the US, Australia and Thailand. By far the best place to live. China is truly an amazing place. The people, the country, the food, the infrastructure, the technology, the quality of life overall: social security, health care.
