If the entire world & technology disappeared except for registered Gaf members, how long would it take for society to get back to normal?

If gaf members had to repopulate that sole female gaf poster best lube up, she’s in for a rough ride.

Uhhhhh I dont think Ailynn Ailynn is going to be able to help repopulate the world...but just incase i got a large supply =p

Ohhh I love weirdo hypotheticals like this. Ok so we have like 150k registered members right? Man, that is nothing. And what percentage of them actually have any idea about how true infrastructure works? I mean, for the most part, we'd all be inheriting a world that would rapidly deteriorate around us as things fell into disrepair/out of maintenance. A giant percentage of people would likely starve and die pretty quickly.. turn feral, etc. There'd no doubt be a lot of hostility, I expect there'd be territorial spats/hoarding of resources and a giant amount of the people who are left would die in months, if not weeks. I don't think people would go completely extinct, but basically those who would survive would probably be the strongest/bravest/those who could do well in the wild. Probably farmers and such, people who are used to living kind of out in the sticks already. Would love to see a movie about something like this, although it would certainly be depressing (yes, I know about The Stand, which I enjoyed, but that is still too supernatural).

Ouch. It would turn into The Last of Us.... Gaf’s favorite game lol.

Shit we would have a working network up and running within a week. There are some smart fuckers on gaf who work in IT.
This. We’d probably have the internet back up in like 1 work week, like 40 hours. Loads of software developers and IT geeks on Gaf.

Just GAF? Yeah, we're fucked.

My family is gone at that point. So I'm stockpiling drugs, guns and throwing the longest party I can survive. I'll skip the inevitable inbreeding toxic avenger ending thanks.

I'll be camping with my dog companion by the rivers/beaches and stockpiling water/canned food. Also I'm stuck down under so beer would be sacred water and ain't no one coming to rescue us without air/sea travel tech.
