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…One giant lan party I suppose.
Change my name to Horatio.
The world would collectively chuckle at my/our stupid reference.
There was an episode of The Twilight Zone about this it’s called The Mind and the Matter. I don’t recall that it turned out well
I’d give it like 2 weeks.
Probably attempt to evacuate and dangerous places I absolutely have no place being. I’m sure lots of me would die in plan crashes, and I pity the ones currently in nuclear submarines. They’d probably try to figure out how to land or steer but probably fail. The rest would probably get together and form some agrarian society while we figured out how to industrialize.
Society will slowly crumble as we hold mass jerk-offs.
This happens in a comics, I’ll try to remember it’s name but there is a sentient, ultra violent poo-like protagonist who is kind of the hero named Schlock or something.
It’s a teleport malfunction and a science guy gets multiplied like 400 million times.
Schlock mercenary is the comics name
Gav. Cameo from Nukees. Dude ends up outnumbering quite a few species. As the author notes, you have to be dinka-cho careful with tokjith.
Schlock Mercenary is pretty great, I reread it every few years.
If you like military scifi it’s worth a look.
Nothing productive is going to happen ever again
The world would become pretty gay, since there wouldn’t be another option.
Society has finally given up on trousers completely.
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!!
Mass exodus of society, if I rule society and I am society, then it would crumble instantly, versions of me would take over the electrical grid and infrastructure to keep it running, but other than the required precursors to that infrastructure, very few trappings of modern society would stay bar the the internet, the books, the roads but you’d see a mass rewilding and movement into wilder spaces
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.
Some of me would probably survive. Having experience in agriculture would help there. Also, with enough of me, we might be and to keep some power generation running, as long as manuals could be found. The adaptability of AuADHD could help in a lot of ways… But the AuADHD of AuADHD would probably cause some of me to make silly oversights that on such a grand scale would get many of us killed.
On the plus side, shit would be pretty peaceful and I could get some good rest.
