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?
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 world would become pretty gay, since there wouldn’t be another option.
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!
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 be a far better place
optimistic of you
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.
I’d give it like 2 weeks.
Very quiet.
Never-ending global orgy
Change my name to Horatio.
The world would collectively chuckle at my/our stupid reference.
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

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

Kinda lonely.
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.
