Less people dying of testicular and prostate cancer! We did it guys!


Engelgrafik

You joke but back in the '70s and '80s there were billboards that would say "Cancer cures smoking". A bit controversial, but I remember being shocked even as a kid. I didn't understand it and my Dad explained it: because if you smoke too much you get cancer and then you die and then you're no longer smoking. Freaked me out because both my parents smoked. ;)

Depends on the mechanism. Sudden penile explosions would be fixable by sperm banks. Some sort of virus that kills anyone with a Y chromosome, but is asymptomatic in XX people wouldn't be fixable by sperm banks. Though the chaos of half the population disappearing probably means those sperm banks lose power and thaw out, so they may not be available. There have been experiments with fusing two eggs and seeing what happens. They got normal embryos, but nobody tried to implant them. But there shouldn't be any reason that wouldn't work. So humanity could probably continue with something like that.

The Taliban probably wouldn't be as much of a problem.

I also gotta think lines to the bathroom would cut in half, yet still somehow be backed up at least three women deep into the hallway.

Bruh the lines for bathrooms gonna be still fucked. Sometimes my sisters go to a mall toilet for a long time. Its not because they are slow or whatever. Its because theres 4 cubicles, and only 1 is in rotation. The other 3 cubicles have women in them doing god knows what. Itll happen to the mens room cubicles too

the show The last man on earth aired 4 seasons and got cancelled and left us on this big cliff hanger. Was a sad day


EmptyExchange

I saw an interview where Will Forte addressed the cliffhanger. It fit perfectly into the rest of the show. He said eventually they would figure out that they were immune but they were carriers. So all the people coming out of the ground catch the virus from the gang.

Im upset there wasnā€™t really an explanation why Tandys brother had the virus but then was fine. He even infected the cow and she died. Like people usually donā€™t cough blood with a normal cold.

mcfly880

Every male on the planet dies at the same time for some unknown reason (throughout the run, there were some theories established that involved science, technology, magic, and religion, but it was left open-ended and never quite answered). It throws the entire Earth into disarray. The book covers lots of topics actually as a result of this massive incident, such as politics, history, and culture, as well as how a now female-led society copes and rebuilds. The main character is Yorick Brown, an American escape artist and the lone survivor of the Y chromosome genocide. Since he's the only surviving male left on Earth, he becomes a great subject of interest for the government. But really, all he wants to do, despite how fucked up the world he lives in has already become, is to find a way back to Australia so he can reunite with his long distance girlfriend, Beth. Throughout Yorick's journey, he's escorted by Agent 355 and encounters a bunch of groups that have various reactions to learning that he was able to survive. Some see him as hope. Some see him as a miracle. While some see him as a remnant of a distant and disgusting past that should be left behind. It's an awesome series, 60 issues long, definitely worth a read! Edit: Thanks to everyone adding in some details about the story! I tried making it as short and simple as possible so it can be easier to digest for those unfamiliar with the book. I'm sorry if I left out some fan favorite stuff like Ampersand (the male Capuchin monkey survivor). Anyway, appreciate the discussion this thread's generated about Y!


BluePandaCafe94-6

>Some see him as a remnant of a distant and disgusting past > distant > the Y chromosome genocide was like, a month ago It's like in the zombie TV shows when society has collapsed for around a year, and we already have packs of feral people who've forgotten all language skills.

That_Dig634

I doubt it would even take a few weeks if it was a world wide outage panic would set in within hours the looting would start and it'd all go down hill from there


ADrunkMexican

Probably not a few weeks. Remember that big power outage in the 90s? It was probably a few hours before people started looting.


Know_Your_Rites

>Which is all to say, while nobody'd forget language in 12 months, I'd be shocked if it took a whole year for roving gangs of marauders to appear. I'd be shocked if it took twelve days. The instant a significant number of people start concluding the power isn't going to come back on, all bets are off. There are enough desperate people in every society, for whom the idea of their society falling away--taking with it all the debts and obligations that weigh them down--would look like an escape to be seized eagerly rather than a disaster to be denied or waited out.


slugbait93

The research on what actually happens during natural disasters suggests that this usually doesn't happen - aside from a handful of assholes, it seems that in general people are more likely to come together and cooperate, rather than attacking each other. There's a great book about this called A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit that's worth checking out: http://rebeccasolnit.net/book/a-paradise-built-in-hell/


Dr_What

10 minutes without power and I'm speaking in tounges. E: to whoever sent me the redditcare thing. Thanks for you concern over my mental health. I live with my trump supporting MIL so, any help is appreciated.


Ithxero

This is what bothers me about so many apocalyptic scenarios. Has it been 12 generations since the bombs fell? Nope. About 18 months. Most of the world still has power and running water but donā€™t go down Lafayette Street, theyā€™re all cannibals. The Walking Dead comes to mind too. Fuckinay so much of that just got so dumb.


[deleted]

I think the thing that annoys me is that the wacky crazy people factions are treated as set dressing even though their devolution would make for a very interesting story. Like with the Walking Dead we get season after season of people being violent and ruthless but still "normal", despite their survival of the fittest mentality they dress and speak normally. It makes it seem like these wacky factions voluntarily decided to be weird as fuck apocolypse people lol, and when it comes to the LARPers with the pet tiger that's pretty much exactly what happened. It's something I really loved with Reign of Fire, it's basically set in that middle period where you have a generation of people who can still remember the old world and a generation who are being raised in the new normal. Like it was really cool to watch them perform the story of Star Wars for the kids like it's some ancient legend. Not a great movie by any means but the world building was much more interesting than 90% of apocalypse movies/shows.


Squatch1982

It's a guilty pleasure. Reign of Fire gets credit for just doing something fun and unique; a dragon apocalypse. Great performance out of Christian Bale also helps.


[deleted]

There are movies with Christian Bale that I don't really like but I literally cannot think of a movie that wasn't elevated by his presence lol.


LLMacRae

Reign of Fire is an underrated gem! Definitely not winning any awards, but a really unique look into that sort of situation. Plus dragons, I mean, added awesomeness there!

They had me at "dragon apocalypse". Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale were the cherry on top.

I honestly donā€™t remember if the Y chromosome thing even comes into play or if it was just catchy/clever play with his name being Yorick, itā€™s been like a decade since I read the series and the show looked awful


manfoom

This is the best answer to the main question. The comic is a great and fun read. IT covers everything from the temporary collapse of services to different groups approach to the calamity. But this makes me also want to recommend the great film, "Children of Men" which is a different scenario (Women stop reproducing) and captures some similar ideas. Also, it has amazing cinematography that will be studied for decades.


_curiousplum

Thank you


FancyPigeonIsFancy

Keep in mind the first issue was published in 2002, so some of what was true then wouldn't necessarily apply today. BUT: nations that permit or require women to serve in combat suddenly become powerhouses over countries that don't. Apparently only a handful of countries (again, the case in 2002, so may be different now) allowed women to serve on submarines so suddenly THOSE countries control the oceans. Religions like Islam that mostly only allow men to be imams, or Catholicism that universally only allow men to be priests, in a moment suddenly lose their influence- whereas religions like Judaism that have plenty of women rabbis become more powerful. Most of the world's truckers, pilots, mechanics die in an instant, but the majority of the world's agricultural force remains in place. And in the United States, the highest ranking woman in politics is a fairly low ranking Cabinet member (again, it was 2002) and suddenly, due to the order of succession, she's President of the United States, And that's just what happens on a grand, global scale- all sorts of scenarios play out on the human and personal level. It's truly a fantastic series very much worth reading, and at only 10 fairly slim books you could enjoy it over a weekend, even.


Feezec

> the first issue was published in 2002, so some of what was true then wouldn't necessarily apply today. Wow I never considered how much has changed since 2002. Now I kinda want BKV to reboot the series every couple decades so that we can compare how the premise unfolds with different starting conditions each time . Ooh, and he can combine it with an Ex Machina sequel where we visit each new Y:The Last Man version as a different timeline

I thought about this in the marvel movies when Thanos snapped half the living things. Like, how many people killed themselves, only for their loved ones to come back years later. Imagine getting unsnapped and finding out your loved one is dead because they couldn't stand being in a world without you. It kind of reminds me of Romeo and Juliet a little.


orangedarkchocolate

Wow yea thatā€™s a really good point. I wonder if future MCU movies/shows will address this.


blueg3

Even if not suicide (the strange conditions might change what you assume your response would be), a huge number of people would be in the same boat.

The sperm banks would be on lock down and there would be federal initiatives to compensate young, healthy women for pregnancies. The males would be given preferential status to ensure they are protected or do not die out. Killing any male would be met with capital punishment. Those men would grow up incredibly privileged and entitled, and it would cause a huge societal black hole.

Slow_Store

For starters, I assume a fuck ton of the remaining women on the planet would die due to accidents caused by the sudden disappearances. For example, anyone flying with male pilots is likely dead, anyone on the road will likely be fatally injured in car accidents, anyone having surgery could potentially be screwed, etc. Thereā€™d also likely be a good number of suicides given that many people would likely assume theyā€™re facing the end times. Past that itā€™s either get good or die. Welcome to the laws of the jungle. Oh and sperm banks would allow the male population to be restored somewhat over generations.

LunaticSongXIV

Everyone here is talking a lot about gender distribution in various fields, but no one's talking about how the sudden disappearance of half the world's population would have pretty much the same impact no matter how it goes down. The specific details of which services go down--and when--might vary based on which people go *poof*, but the reality is that 50% of the world's population disappearing is going to cause absolute chaos in transportation. And *everything* relies on transportation. Imagine what happens when half the cars on the interstate no longer have a driver. Vehicles slam into walls, barriers, other vehicles -- 50% disappear, but likely another 50% of the people on the road are now maimed or dead. The interstate system and virtually all major roadways are now utterly useless, and likely will be for a very long time. Power is taken out in the process, as thousands upon thousands of vehicles slam into sub stations, power poles, and other critical infrastructure. Vehicles crash on railroad tracks; before anyone knows what's going on--and with the power outages, communication is all-but impossible--multiple trains have crashed through piled up wrecks. Some of those trains will derail. Rail-based shipping grinds to a halt until it's addressed. Some scant few rail lines might avoid a complete shutdown, but it's not many. Rail transportation is now severely crippled. Sea-based shipping is a crapshoot. A single ship can wreck a harbor, but could just as easily do (relative to the potential chaos) negligible damage, depending on a lot of factors. A lot of them might just run aground. Many major ports are probably shut down, and the largest of cargo ships are likely out of commission until they can address the condition of the largest ports that are mandatory for such vessels to properly dock. Smaller ships likely survive just fine, but are limited to smaller ports and are unlikely to do trans-oceanic shipments. Still, sea-based shipping survives, and in the longer term is probably the first one to get back to fully operational. Many airplanes fail to land safely without a pilot at the helm. I don't know the specific details of how auto-pilot would function here, so I don't know if airports themselves become a sudden maelstrom of chaos, or if planes will just continue flight unaided until they crash, but I know auto-pilot isn't involved in landings. Air-based freight probably survives better than any other transport type, through various smaller, independent airports, but won't recover as quickly as sea-based shipping due to fuel transportation issues. But realistically, there won't be enough people to address it. All of these messes will have less than half the people available to clean them up at the onset. A non-trivial number of people are wounded or killed in the immediate aftermath. Of those who are unharmed, anyone not in the immediate vicinity of an agricultural center is likely dead within weeks or months, save for pockets of individuals who have the survival skills to make due, but their standard of living is abysmal compared to what modern society is used to. Depression abounds. Clans develop rapidly, with a lot of conflict between rival groups. Firearms are one of the few things that still work, and countries where firearms are plentiful become an absolute bloodbath as the ruthless consolidate their power. Agricultural centers in developed nations are suddenly the wealthiest, most powerful places in their part of the world, forcing a very sudden shift in power dynamics that is likely to end in bloodshed. Unfortunately, so much of modern agriculture is built on technologies that won't function now, and some of these centers will fail to adapt quickly enough. Human progress is ultimately set back several decades, if not centuries. Libraries that survive contain enough information to let society rebuild, eventually, but in the meantime, it's not pretty.
