How many hours could the world last without men?

Define the world lasting.

I will make a rough estimate of our world of humans lasting roughly 50 000 000 without men. At which point the young girls of today will be dying of old age.

If you mean operate as it is? It won't. How could you possibly remove half the population and expect a world to be unchanged?

If you just want an easy men vs women victory we can all acknowledge the average man is more productive in society than the average woman. Well established. Although we do have to consider areas like unacknowledged work being done. Factoring that in, it becomes a questionmark at best.

I thought we left the gender wars back in 2015.

@Effably Your answer is 50,000, 000 hours?

[Effably]

My bad. My brain goofed and saw minutes. Cut it in 60. So 833 333 hours or so.

[madhatters4]

in theory for as long as human existence goes on. procreation could still go on as we have sperm banks all over the world.

[madhatters4]

also the world can survive without humans period. so even if human existence ended due to the loss of men, the world would still continue

[Vegasrunner]

@madhatters4 All of the infustructure in the world is run by men. Power Grids electricity, good supplies etc would dry up basically overnight.

[madhatters4]

All of the infRAstructure is run by men? simply not true.
the world won't end because there is no power for a period of time and the fact is there are plenty of women who would have an understanding or could easily gain the understanding of how to operate this stuff.

1in10 of all electrical engineers
1in4 energy workers are female
1in20 plant operators are female

so clearly not all infrastructure is run by men

[Vegasrunner]

@madhatters4 Terrible comback. You're making an argument for less than 10% which means the results would still be the same.

[madhatters4]

how is that? if there are 2000 plant operators there are 100 plant operators. therefore you could run 100 plants. society might have to be downsized but you said no women understand power grids
wrong!
goods and supplies? you think there aren't already or a woman can't learn basic supply demand... there's no women with understanding of economics?
wrong again!
it's an absurd, deeply misogynistic from frankly simple minded thing to think there are no women who know how to operate or manage a power grid, power station, power plant, goods and supplies, economics.

[Vegasrunner]

@madhatters4 Excellent question and please dont be embarrassed that you dont know. Simply because a women is an engineer or a worker doesn't mean that she is in charge of running the infrastructure. Furthermore you're attempting to make the argument that losing 90% of the work force wouldn't have a negative impact. That's insane. I didn't say anything about women not understanding power grids, you just made that up. Women make up about 80% of consumers debt and dont build anything so not sure why you think they would learn this overnight. Think logically w/out men all the modern conviences would evaporate overnight. So to survive would literally have to hunt and kill daily w/out things like electricity, or stoves, microwaves etc. Thete would be no internet to teach them how to do these things either. You're basing your belief on them existing in the world the way it currently is which ironically proves how important men are to the world.

[madhatters4]

"you're attempting to make the argument that losing 90% of the work force wouldn't have a negative impact"
- didn't make that argument or anything close to it. please show me where i said it wouldn't have a negative impact

also you asked how long could the world last. the world would go on without men. even if all humans died the world goes on.

"You're basing your belief on them existing in the world the way it currently is which ironically proves how important men are to the world."
- exactly how am i basing my belief on that? please use examples from things i said not just your inferences. my explicit statements.

[Vegasrunner]

@madhatters4 Thats exactly what you're doing by making an argument for the minority. Even you acknowledge that men make up the overwhelming number of workers in this workforce so pretending as of losing them wouldn't be catastrophic os disingenuous. If I told you football team lost 90% of its starters would you bet on them to win?
It was implied the world as we know it however I can understand how this may confuse you.
Think about it logically if men suddenly disappeared, within hours the world would go dark, and society would he reduced to its mistakes primitive needs. You're looking at the world w/out men as if all the modern conviences would still be there, you doing this proves that men have civilized the world so much you can't even imagine an uncivilized one.

[madhatters4]

"pretending as of losing them wouldn't be catastrophic os disingenuous"
i didn't again you put words in my mouth... talk about disingenuous

you asked how long could the world LAST. you seem to think without electrical power or infrastructure the world would cease to exist. the world existed for millions of years without humans. it last for even longer without power... if tomorrow the world didn't have power guess what? the globe keeps spinning

[Screenwriter]

The world lasted millions if not a few billion years before modern men. The earth has no need for humans. We're just part of the parade of living beings on the planet.

The the world's animal life would be far better off without us polluting and eliminating habitat for the rest of the animals.

[FreyaRed]

If we couldn't develop clone technology 60-80 years

[Vegasrunner]

@freyared It would take longer than that just to find women to do infrastructure jobs then twice as long to train them 5x as long to find their replacement after they quit.

[uzumymw]

Near infinitely

Eventually the women would go extinct too after some generations when sperm banks run out

The world will last after that until it ends from its own existence

[permanentem]

The world can get by without men... it's a planet, but women can't...

[Vegasrunner]

@permanentem So how many hours would women survive?

[permanentem]

I suppose until the pantry went empty or their water system stopped functioning. Many can't even figure out how to open a water filter housing to ensure they have clean water to drink.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Don't know, but it would last long without buxom birds !!!

[DryGermanGuy]

42. That's always the correct number.

[Zionne]

less than a hundred years

[Vegasrunner]

@Zionne how many hours?

[Mike_Hum]

real men or liberal men?

[Vegasrunner]

@mike_hum All men

[Mike_Hum]

A lot longer with liberal men gone.

[Vegasrunner]

@mike_hum TY for sharing, nothing to do with the question asked however.

[exitseven]

a few thousand.
