If Money and resources were no objects, what business would you start? - Being Autistic productively

[johnny dollars]

I'll start:

I'd own and run a data center, much like Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure, that would be for hosting banned websites. I think it's really gross how a few data centers own pretty much the entire Internet and would like to help. Kind of like VanwaTech.

 

[Covid19AteMyPeen]

I think I'd run a tcg shop that focused on selling single cards. Mostly because I could sit there and open packs of cards all day, and occasionally give out some cooler cards to kids or people new to the hobby

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

One of two things. My first choice run something dedicated to outdoorsy people, something in the backwoods that catered to hunters and campers. I'd have a gun range, and hundreds of acres of land for people to hunt and/or camp on.

My second choice would be similar to OP, but instead of just a datacenter I'd include the ISP and all the other fiddly tech bits. I'd call it "1A Communications" or something similar.

 

[Fathomless Eminence]

I would operate a small but respectable Feed & Seed shop with a dark secret

 

[Gangstalker #32194]

a big arcade with lots of pinball machines

 

[Sayer of the N-Word]

I would open a bookstore named Banned Books that exclusively sold books that had been banned by prisons in the US. Books about prosecutorial misconduct, knife making instructions, civil liberties textbooks, sovereign citizen and racial supremacist writings, guro mangas, all available.

Then I would sit at the counter and watch the reactions from people who were expecting to see Harry Potter and Catcher in the Rye when they came in.

 

[Lokenstien]

A horror themed cannabis cat cafe where all the cats are some kind of black or orange, the library selection is all types of creepy, esoteric, shocking strange, etc books and comics and the cafe offers a selection of mildly cannabis infused drinks along with the standard sober selections of coffees and teas. A separate shop to the side with its own residential cats would offer a variety of cannabis products, local spooky artisan crafts, a selection of books, and other miscellaneous products.

if I could I would have a whole plaza that would have the cat cafe, cannabis/alcohol/smoke shop, book store, artisan craft store, butcher/specialty grocery shop, bakery, a tattoo shop and a general public space all with the theme of all of them being spooky, gothic, dark macabre, etc .

 

[SNU]

I'd open a retail shop. It would just be an empty room except for a shop counter. There will be a huge backroom with an assortment of stuff. I'll stand behind the counter staring at anyone who came in. If they ask what the place is I'll tell them "it's a shop. I sell things". If they ask what I sell I'll say "an assortment of items. What are you looking for?". If they say something that I have in the back room I'll get it and offer to trade it for one of their possessions. If they say something that isn't in the back room I'll say "no. Get out" and then I'll just keep repeating "get out of my shop" until they leave.

 

[rel=alternate]

It's debatable if it qualifies as a business, but a private town, most likely on an island.

Somewhere I can get away from the lunacy of the current world and just build my own paradise.

 

[DeadwastePrime]

you guys are weird. i just want a restaurant that sells sandwiches, soup, breakfast stuff, and coffee and then pay the workers there well.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I'd open an arcade, but I'm not sure it would be financially viable. Do standalone arcades even exist anymore? If not then I'd open a Chuck E. Cheese, close enough, except I probably couldn't have M rated games.

 

[RollerGator]

Video rental store.

 

[Nottafed]

12yr old me would have said: a penny candy gift shop, fireworks emporium and petting zoo with 6 bowling lanes, an arcade room, a couple full size pizza ovens, soft serve machines and couple of fryers for some kids food. The back would have a very nice playground, splash pad and a park area with a stage for plays/bands/etc., a gazebo or two and an area to stage firework shows for holidays. Maybe throw a museum of weird crap in there too for kids to look at.
no blacks.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

I would set up apartment complexes specifically for housing the homeless, it's everybody's problem.

 

[TheDarknessGrows]

I would rent a storefront at the local mall and if people wanted to come in and talk I would not charge them. A lot of people really just need to talk. Not about anything in particular; but you need to talk and interact with others to remain whole.

 

[Nitro!]

I'd buy a large regional ISP. When media agencies demand subscriber information for IPs downloading torrents I would respond with "ur a fag lol".

 

[Audit]

I'm happily flushing down trillions in venture capitalist money on asteroid wrangling and tearing open Mars to get to its juicy core. Maybe we'll try flinging the asteroids at Mars to see if that does the trick. NASA can suck a dick with its "science" and "discovery" wankery.

 

[Soup Sammiches]

I'd become an international man of mystery and I'd stand on 5 EVERY TIME. ( I too like to live dangerously too)

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Fund researching a way to eliminate scarcity, like with nanomachines?



Although there's the risk of crap like "grey goo" -- not to mention possible ethical issues -- so maybe that's not such a good idea.

A Lobster business…. Their recession proof!
