AI will write them and AI will read them to us.

And probably got 4 fathers between them

As someone with addict parents, PBS quite literally raised me. Like it was one of the only things I could watch for free that wasn’t daytime talk shows, had it not been for PBS I’d have been raised by Jerry Springer and Maury, and I imagine that some kids were.

You can pick whichever dinosaur you want though, if they want a chicken I’m cool with that, but its a boring choice.

Not fully sentient, smart enough to understand each other’s body language, but not to have conversations with, no magic.

Omg, cuteness overload.

I think I go dinosaur and pick a small one. I don’t wanna feed a damn dragon.

Raptors seem like a good pick, I could train it to guard my house, and it probably wont cost a million dollars a month to feed.

I agree, because I was the kid who didn’t have any respect for a hypocritical parent.

My mom did a very good job at teaching me that respect is something that is earned and THEN she taught me to think independently and stand up for myself. These are all things she was supposed to do of course. However she followed that up with becoming an alcoholic and crack addict who would leave me alone all the time so she could go party for days. Then was absolutely flabbergasted when I showed her that same level of respect and didn’t follow her rules anymore.

I was in counseling and anger management and truly believed I was the problem at the time, but looking back now that I’m in my 30’s, what did she expect? She’s the one that taught me not to take any shit, and then she started giving me shit.

I’m good under pressure and I learn from my mistakes. Waiting until the last minute to get it right is exactly my style.

Like other people said, just keep coming back and participating. Lemmy is gaining users and lots of communities are very active. I’m rotting my brain very well around these parts.

You would have to explain the whole gig to every copy and I just don’t think you could convince 1 million people who have memories of their friends and families and lifestyles to co-operate in starting a new society from scratch, they would just fight each other and bring back capitalism and probably blame whoever their political adversary is at the time for ending up on New Earth. Humans with Old Earth memories would be impossible to work with.

But Idk I maybe they fight for 20 years and decide they might as well give it a shot with the humans that are left and then your society starts, hard to really say. None of its ethical, thats for sure.

I bet there is a crunchy mom that can tell you what plant to eat, but there’s like a 70/30 chance its gonna kill you instead.

We definitely have aliens in spaceships flying around in the real world.

Also I don’t doubt that technology can evolve well past anything we know because you would start pretty close to where we are now, but you don’t get magic powers you still have to have scientist and tech bros figuring shit out and inventing new shit and YOU have to teach at least the first few generations how to do that. You’re not just snapping whatever you want into existence, and the aliens are not helping you. I don’t doubt you can get to “Fully automated luxury gay space communism for everyone!” over 1,000 years, but someone somewhere is gonna have to put some effort into it.

Why do I assume people wouldn’t contribute? It seems reasonable that at least some people will want to smoke weed instead of building houses, but idk! I literally said that I wasn’t sure and asked what the solution was because this is fun little prompt that I am curious about and want to hear everyone’s different perspectives on. I think that asking follow up questions is kinda reasonable.

The party trick thing reminded me of a book series called Magic 2.0 that I read a while back . This guy figures out that the universe is a simulation and basically hacks the code; now he can jump through time as he pleases. He goes back to the Middle Ages and brings plastic wrap with him and calls it clear paper, which convinces everyone that he’s a wizard. It was a fun read but got dumb around the 3rd-ish book.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

and you have all the knowledge of what cults already took off like wildfire. Mormonism for example, that shit is gold.

Your humans can procreate so in 1,000 years there will at least a few 100 million, provided you don’t wipe them out with a flood or whatever.

This works if everyone is willing to put in the effort to contribute, how do you handle those who are not willing or able to do so? I feel like everyone is probably able to make meaningful contributions to a society in one way or the other, but what about those that just don’t wanna? Do you think the number would be high? I’m not sure.

All natural resources we have now on Earth are available on New Earth but they are all raw as humans haven’t touched them yet. Same goes for animals, the ones that are extint strictly due to humans are back, but the ones that exist strictly because of human intervention don’t exist (sorry that means most dogs!) The state of the human mind is tricky, importing current humans with their memories is problematic for tons of reasons, so I think it would be better to program them all with like basic knowledge and beginner traits the way you would a Sim.

Yeah they are, its like the main part of their job. Some are just really shit at it.
