The clones retain the same physical attributes and memory as the original ‘you’ just before the replacement. From the clone’s perspective, it would be as if you swapped places with another person with no context of the situation that person was in, except it’s with every living person on earth, everyone but you cease to exist and the original ‘you’ isn’t affected in any way.
How would you imagine the world to become after this? How would the society act now that it has become entirely composed of 'you’s? How would you and your clones live the rest of your lives in such a world?
The world would pretty much immediately grind to a halt because, surprisingly enough, i don’t know everything.
Power stations would shut down, water treatment plants would fail, crops would fail to get harvested, air traffic would be a disaster, etc. I will say that once i figured out that it all relied on “me” i would put in serious effort but it couldnt possibly make up for the lack of knowledge.
On the plus side conflicts would likely just end because I’m mostly a pacifist and open minded.It would temporarily be pretty chill.
Ya boi (that’s me) is known among friends to be easy-going, relaxed, and easy to work with.
…Until it devolved into chaos and we all died, anyway.Edit: oh and obviously Lemmy would die :(
I could probably figure out how to keep it running with all the information online but with everything else going on…We’re going to starve. But until the food runs out, the orgy will be massive and non-stop.
The massive, non-stop orgy is precisely the part I’m dreading.
You wouldn’t even be there!
Knowing me, I probably would.
Oh shit… I didn’t realize my actual clone was on Lemmy. Though I guess it makes sense… After all, you’re me, and I’m here too. Great minds and all that. 😏
You must be one of the snarky versions of me. 🙄
We are trashgirlfriend.
We are many.
We have no idea how to operate a nuclear power plant.
Its basically just boiling water, I’m sure you all can figure it out. Just start pressing buttons.
Nothing productive is going to happen ever again
The world would become pretty gay, since there wouldn’t be another option.
Horrible.
We’d be very kind to eachother but nothing of value would be done
I’m seriously impaired, so all humans will start dying in a matter of weeks.
On the plus side, everything in that book The World Without Us will come to pass, and the planet’s environment and ecology will be better off.
Nothing will get done.
Well, not exactly. My clones could probably make a decent guess on what to do, but they’d procrastinate on it and do something else given what’s available to them. Before long, everyone starves to death.
I’m incredibly scrappy, so we would get by. I can farm, I can repair stuff, I have a good work ethic, and I get along well with myself.
In certain sciences, we’re just fucked, though. I guess we just don’t do some of that anymore.
Everywhere I look, assholes! /s
We’d be fucked. My memory sucks and I’m on a heavy dose of neuro meds for pain. Flying would also be a no. I have a constant vertigo sensation.
That said, I’m usually pretty good at keeping upbeat and friendly. Not greedy. Don’t care how you dress, what you worship, what you call yourself or identify as, and think you should have your own agency over your body. So at least there’s that.
Sexy time would be weird too. Do I call my own name?
Oh! And I can do that mirror prank endlessly!!
I will give an honest answer. I think the biggest problem would be the knowledge that humanity ends with US. There is absolutely no future unless we decided to clone the opposite gender or something, but honestly that sounds like too much work. So the next thing that would happen is the inevitable depression that follows as all of modern society grinds to a halt and we all decide that any continued existence is just prolonging our inevitable extinction. I give it about a week before most of my copies have died from giving up, the rest live out their days with little meaning in their lives aside from day to day survival.
I’m literally killing myself
The world just got a whoooole lot sexier
chiillllll. things would slow down a lot, but be efficiently run. interesting podcasts.
We’d be cracking bobiverse jokes until the world ended
