This question has been around for a while but I’m curious as to your answer
Start?
I asked my sister and my mum this question.
Sister: she’d be working as usual. Her only co-worker in their small biz is also a woman, so no issue. She asked about her male cats first, before asking about my nephew and BIL.
Mum: she said that she’d be eating air fryer French fries and ice cream through the day and watching movies. She can’t be arsed to cook. (I’m usually the one cooking here.)
Shitting with the bathroom door open.
Whats stopping you?
My wife does then gets moody at me when I walk past and see her. I should tell her to cut the crap.
Isn’t that why the scientific name for the anus is turd cutter?
I thought the scientific name was birthday hole.
TIL
Never heard this one. Plz explain.
His wife lets him stick his penis in her asshole on his birthday.
Or his wife pegs him on his birthday.
Lucky guy.

I KNEW IT!
Those who are currently in a bus or airplane would probably die.
I believe that less than it looks like.
While only 5% of the pilots are women, flight attendants receive basic training for emergency situations, such as when the pilot is incapacitated. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of them could actually land a plane in a life-and-death situation, or at least find a passenger who can.
With buses the picture is a bit brighter. If I had to guess, 20% of the bus drivers around the world are female? And a missing driver doesn’t automatically spells your death - the bus might be going slow due to traffic, and a lot of people are able to at least step on a brake.
EDIT: I’m genuinely curious about the downvotes. If I said something that is either factually wrong (false) or morally wrong (sexist, insensitive, etc.), feel free to point out, as I can’t guess anything based on downvotes alone.
Alternatively, if the downvotes are due to a faulty reasoning, then please show the flaw.
Yeah but what percentage of air traffic controllers are women? Those that are will have to coordinate a lot more landings than usual.
Flight attendants won’t be landing anything without flight controllers. Especially in busy airports like Heathrow. Even if you leave men pilots in place and only remove men traffic controllers, all the planes will crash.

That’s why I said “probably”.
Goin for gasps and got one from me lol
Going for a topless walk on the beach at night! It’s the only time I’d feel safe enough to. I’ve been sexually harassed and assaulted enough, starting back when I was a little girl, to know I could never do that normally.
I went swimming in the ocean at night once. I will never do that again.
Dress up, go out and to a bar all by myself, meet strangers without worrying about how to get rid of them later.
Go to the nicest sauna in town, spa all day.
Full hair and makeup, sparkly dress that shows a lot, go to a trendy bar with my friends and get blackout ass drunk without worrying about protecting my drink all night and knowing I can walk home by myself.
In the morning I would nurse the hangover while ordering the biggest ass teddy 🐻 bear 🐻 that will fit through my door as a memento.
enjoy driving and parking lots without dealing with this small-penis-overcompensating-car-stereo bullshit
I’m a crazy enough woman by myself so I’d lock myself in my apartment
I’d travel to other countries and explore them by myself (I’d need way more than 24 hours though).
Anything I’d otherwise do.
ITT: Women who think only men are dangerous or bad.
It is a lot safer for women to assume a man is dangerous until proven otherwise. I don’t really see a comment that posits that only men are dangerous or bad, but stomp your feet and cross your arms when women tell you their lived experience, it’s a great look.
You don’t see the comments saying that it’s totally ok to just fall asleep at a public beach and whatnot?
Statistically, the vast majority of random muggings and assaults are done by men, so I actually think this is fair. As far as this particular scenario goes.
Statistically speaking it’s also men who are majority of victims when it comes to muggings and assaults.
True but irrelevant for this scenario. All men are gone. No victims, no perpetrators. Crime plummets.
These kinds of questions are dumb af. Why? What do you think would reasonably happen if half the population disappeared in an instant? You don’t know when they’re coming back you just know they’re gone.
Instant economic and infrastructure collapse as 50% of human labor is now missing.
It’s only a day.
Okay, all electricity goes out, planes start falling, sewage gets clogged, no more coal for heating so that goes away as well, no plumbers and repair men to fix shit. So, I’d assume a chaos.
Electricity would probably work for a day. Sewage plants have backup generators and can usually last a while even without them. It’s mostly a gravity feed process. Except the wet well but they are always oversized.
Grid is constantly adjusted by adding and removing power plants from the system to meet the demand. This process is not always automated because frequency needs to be synced and sometimes that’s really hard to do automatically. For solar it shouldn’t be a problem, wind, steam and hydro are different beasts. Here’s a nice video showing the process of connecting hydroelectric power plant.
Edit: Here’s another video on the subject. Worth the watch.
Yeah most people would survive but the electricity grid would probably go down, roads and airports would be shut down due to a instantaneous huge number of crashes, fires started might not be able to be put out due to lack of firefighters and no way to transport their equipment, etc. So not quite apocalyptic but probably comparable to a natural disaster or war across the entire earth.
There was a note that said this.
It’s hypothetical. You need the ability to grasp abstraction to participate.

Umm wtf? What kind of Rosemary’s Baby shit is this?
It isn’t. If you’ve ever been raped in your sleep, by someone, then you’d understand. My husband knew that his half brother’s dad raped me in my sleep when visiting our apartment years ago. I thought my son was my husband’s son. My husband later told me what happened to me that night.
I went to sleep, and my husband let that person into our apartment to hang out. At some point, the guy found his way to our bedroom where I was already asleep, because I had to go to work the next morning. Apparently, my sort of situation isn’t that rare.
What in the fuck did I just read.
One person equating their personal experience to everyone. Clearly not realising that within the next 24 hrs the guys will get back, see the results and dump at least 1/5th of their unfaithful partners.
Yep. Obscenities and anger. That is usually the type of responses I receive when trying to address this issue. It is usually male commenters that want me to shut up, and are trying to make me remove my comment. I hope your girlfriend or wife doesn’t have this same experience involving being violated in her sleep. Perhaps with someone like you, as a partner, she will just be forced to keep it to herself, even if you witnessed the assault occur. Oh well. Not my problem, I guess. I’m just another Lemmy reader who doesn’t want to see that happen to another woman. Don’t mind me.
I can’t fathom how a husband can know his wife has been raped but do nothing and say nothing about it. Did he sit and watch? How does he know it happened if not? Where was he when this happened? How did he justify not telling you? Why would he not report this crime? How has this rapist not been held accountable, by your husband at least? If I knew with certainty someone raped my wife the police would be involved immediately. If there were some details that meant we couldn’t get the authorities involved, I’d mete out some violent justice myself assuming the rapist isn’t going to report me since he doesnt want the authorities involved either.
The guy who did it was related to the chief of police, who is now the mayor of the city in which my husband and I resided. I also learned that the man who raped me is related to me. My mother is trying to cover it all up now, and wants me to shut up about it. I know it doesn’t seem reasonable, but dna testing would really support what I’m saying.
How heavy of a sleeper do you have to be to not get awaken by rape? Wtf
Also, I wouldn’t ever recommend those online ancestry sites. Even they claim that the stuff is for entertainment only. Go to an actual geneticist doctor to get tested.
The guy who did it used to brag that he could put his dog to sleep by holding down its jugular, usually in a headlock, until it passed out. He use to brag about this, in an addition to all of the Krav Maga he knew. I don’t exactly know what happened to me. All I know is, I was asleep. I’m grateful for my son. I love my son very much. It’s just often awkward to explain to people who weren’t there when that happened. I usually just keep it to myself. My husband use to make comments about it all the time. In fact, when my son was born, he kept complaining that NJ (the guy’s initials for anonymity here), should be there at the hospital. He hadn’t explained what happened to me, at that point, so I was really confused. Why would I want my brother in law’s dad there, right?
Anyway, I usually give up on explaining it to other people, because it’s usually met with a lot of angry disbelief. I usually tell people if they don’t believe me, they can just go ask my husband. Unfortunately, all of aftermath of my son’s birth led to us separating multiple times. I want court ordered dna tests, but I have no idea where NJ is, and I have been told that NJ is not even the name that is on that guy’s actual birth certificate. When my son eventually takes a test like ancestry.com’s dna test, it will link his paternal relatives to him. Through that, everyone will eventually realize it was NJ that made him, even if NJ is probably not in the ancestry.com system with his own dna sample.
Along with those sites not being accurate, they have given the dna up to law enforcement. So it’s also an invasion of your entire family’s privacy once you submit those tests. Anyways, if you go to an actual doctor, you just need to compare your husband’s and your child’s blood, you don’t need NJ’S blood.
No, my husband isn’t their dad. He and I already established that. I don’t think you understand what I am trying to explain. Please read my original comment.

That’s not how any of this works.
I’m pretty sure there is critically important infrastructure technology that is not maintained by all female teams, so probably stuff would fall apart, the world needs all of us. But if it’s more like they suddenly don’t see us for a day, we all still exist but cannot interact in any way? Or they are all also women for that day?
And I can have the day off?
I’m going to the beach to swim and sunbathe nude. Then out for a drink at the bar that’s close enough to walk home from, but not safe enough to walk home from.
