Doing something that saved a bunch of lives (or at least one) or prevented a lot of misery. I really dont want to be famous but if I have to be I would want it to be for something really beneficial to humanity
Not only if you can monetize it or not (I always had the mode 'when I can afford to live the life I have, I have enough'), but if you have your peace and quiet now or not. For some the American dream (work hard, get rich and famous) is great, for most (including those that work themselves to near death to be able to eat) not so great. (or even a nightmare)
Personally I'd rather have a legacy then be famous. (or just be left alone with my wife, pets and hobbies)

Humans finally realizing that they are part of nature/biodiversity like all other species on Earth, instead of 'above nature'.
I doubt it'll happen, ever, even though they are working hard to get themselves extinct.

I believe it asks "if You had to be famous for something"...
TheInsane42@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Then I'd say, nothing. Why would you want to be famous and be bothered by people everywhere you go?

You don't have to say something technically... But I agree.
Also, I was just thinking about this the other day...
If I want to leave a legacy, something to remember me by... Isn't that the same as wanting to be famous? Except, for after I'm dead.
Sure, the difference would be whether or not I'd want to monetize that legacy or fame... in a certain sense. Idk.

That's the ideal solution.
Have a legacy, and live life.
