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?
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!
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.

The most common kind of art you’d see is art of peculiar creatures, often ones without any eyes, but with big gaping mouths with lips and teeth

Physics is my favourite subject, so I’d imagine there would be a lot more physicists around!

Usage of “Eh” at the end of a sentence will be the norm

Nobody would be able to play hockey, since I cannot ice skate to save my life

I have hyperthymia so the entire world would be having a constant episode of mild mania pretty much LMAO

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.
Without anyone around who would be sad if I ceased to exist, quite a lot of me would leave pretty quickly, if you catch my drift.
But then, there’s also that all but one of me would be in my house, with my things. I’m a nigh-agoraphobic hoarder. Several billion of me would be a long, long way from home and my (our?) stuff, and several thousand would start heading to my house as fast as humanly possible.
There’d be a lot of road accidents. I don’t drive.
Infrastructure would crumble immediately.
Anyone who didn’t “leave” would starve in a few days.
This is not a good plan. Do not use.
The world would become pretty gay, since there wouldn’t be another option.
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…Everyone would be very careful because there would be no doctors. I’m in good health now but any serious injuries or future diseases would go untreated until some of mes went to self taught medical school.
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. 🙄
Very quiet.
The world would be a far better place
optimistic of you
Change my name to Horatio.
The world would collectively chuckle at my/our stupid reference.
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.
