Ask Lemmy

We are trashgirlfriend.

We are many.

We have no idea how to operate a nuclear power plant.

Probably a significant amount of deaths over the years as all fields that I'm not an expert start collapsing. Medicine? Fuck me if I know half of what a first semester drop-out knows, electric grid? Goodbye to that I guess, fucking water treatment? Back to rivers! Agriculture? Nope.

So probably everything will go to shit for a few years as clones of me start learning new things to keep us all alive.

Also, sex is going to be weird... If you are fucking your clone, does it matter how many? What is privacy now? They all know my weirdest kinks, they all know how my face looks when I take a dump.

Well, this was a weird one, fun!

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...

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.

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're going to starve. But until the food runs out, the orgy will be massive and non-stop.

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.

Edit: Also, probably about 80% of the world's computer resources are now serving massive collaborative Luanti build servers. I'm not proud of this, but it's definitely what the collective mass of my selves would do with all of our free time.

Edit 2: I guess we also probably implement a worldwide tax on all income by all copies of me, to pay a few hundred copies of me to contribute to the Luanti project full time.

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'd give it like 2 weeks.

Nothing productive is going to happen ever again

A lot of deaths because of accidents and because nobody knows how to do medicine, but not a single more death because of war. And after 2-3 years of learning how to do most tasks with okay proficiency, I see a much fairer distribution of resources (food, shelter, etc.) which means less starvation deaths etc.

Also, anarchism overnight.

In that specific scenario I imagine we'd all die out fairl quick.

To begin with we'd all probably have a massive anxiety attack as a result of those events transpiring and gather in small groups all not knowing how to proceed. After the initial panic those groups might try to make a plan to survive but being that I'm not the most organised or conscientious person out there a few days in most if not all of us would say "fuck it, lets go out with a bang" and go crazy on food, booze or whatever we could get our hands on. We'd also probably start fucking each other because we're the only option.

Then we'd start dying either from misadventure, fighting over resources or just killing each other for the hell of it. I like to consider myself a peaceful and rational individual, but faced with this situation and no legal consequences? Pretty sure anybody would go nuts.

Once we get that out of our system the remaining few might try to band together to save things again. Even if we were able to come up with a serviceable plan by then it'd be too late. We wouldn't have enough resources to tide us over whilst we get on track as a society, if we even could. Then the final "mes" would die out as well.

Never-ending global orgy

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.
