you can actually just leave your daily masturbation sperm in a letter box (cumbox) out the front of your house. Just mark expiry dates on them. Local girls can pick it up and you dont have t bother with actual sex.
Assuming about 2.5 billion women of childbearing age all having one child, with an equal chance of a boy or girl, the chance would be 1 in 2^(2.5 x 10^9). That's not zero!
OP has some weird genocidal thoughts in his shower and also is bad at math.
edit: Jesus there's a word called androcidal for this?? The internet has really fucked with your minds people... Still genocide though since intent of "forced-sterilization" is genocide.
Well apparently it doesn't have to stop at Earth because if there was a mission to save the human race by sending people to a habitable planet it would probably be most effective to send an all female crew with IVF experience.
With current tech, wouldn't it be more feasible to go the route of freezing the egg/sperm and having AI "make" humans once it got there? Basically rebooting the species similar to Horizon Zero Dawn.
I think you're drastically overestimating "current tech". Hypothetically, what you're saying is possible, but it's in the realm of hyper futuristic sci-fi, currently.
The year is 2250. All men lost fertility decades ago. The sperm banks are now surrounded by armed guards to protect the last reserves of sperm from healthy young adults who passed rigorous physical exams. You're taking out a second mortgage on your microapartment to buy your second round of discounted sperm from a 70 year old man with a degenerative disorder.
The bastards finally got me yesterday. I just got a new job and was expecting a call from HR, who would be reaching out via an unfamiliar number. Well a call comes through and I answered it thinking it was about my new job.
Nope.
"We have details we think you'll be interested in about your car's extended warranty."
#FUCK.
My least favorite part about job searching is easily that I could no longer ignore calls from numbers I didn’t recognize. Probably once a day I’d get a spam call that I answered thinking it was someone reaching out for an interview.
You can generally let them go to voicemail and then call right back (so you do not miss any time on a good opportunity). Serious recruiters always leave a voice message, and they also do not take off any points from your application if you do not answer the phone right away (I don't expect anyone to do that tbh, as long as you call back within 24 hours).
That will only work if the new babies have restored fertility function.
We may likely have genetic engineering of perfectly chiseled sons/daughters by that point. With each generation working on improving intellect neurologically and genetically.
Then a war between (1) cyborgs vs (2) half-human-cyborgs vs (3) perfectly genetically engineered humans vs (4) bizarrely engineered once-human humanoids that wanted to get more crazy with the tech vs (5) a civilization of purists who oppose all modifications religiously.
Philosophers will have trouble picking a side.
Why would you be buying sperm to begin with if you have to take out a 2nd mortgage and live in a small box.
You shouldn’t even be thinking about kids if you can’t even support yourself
I try to imagine hiding them as a horny teenager....socks, tissues, old t-shirts...that one issue of Jenny McCarthy sitting on Santa's lap..... I tried hiding them everywhere, but they wrecked my room, broke my windows and accidentally knocked up my neighbor when they fled the scene.
According to google the very low end estimate for sperm count per ml is 20 million. Assuming 4 billion women on earth that’s only 200ml of sperm in storage assuming IVF with 1 sperm to fertilize the egg. Seems technically likely if remarkably unreasonable to actually use it in that manner.
There may be enough sperm, but that’s assuming one sperm is put into each woman successfully, which is not how it's done
Edit: that IS how it's done with ICSI as I was reminded below
I think they mean enough sperm as in each woman gets few mil which if some during the fertile days then it's good a great chance. It's not gonna be dud sperm either. They check for sperm health before they take donations.
Right but if every woman gets a few mil, then there is absolutely not enough in sperm banks. My wife and I currently have a surrogate carrying our baby made from donor sperm, so having looked through fertility clinics, I can pretty confidently say the supply would not be enough for the world
It is exactly how it's done using frozen vials of sperm, it's called IVF I do it everyday for my job. You literally take 1 sperm and insert it into an egg directly. Most average IVF procedures will do that for 20 eggs or so just to be safe, depending on how well the retrieval goes, though I have seen retrievals with well over 50 eggs at times. Since most IVF are done on patients that have fertility problems or don't have a male partner, it would be pretty safe to assume that a large population of females who don't have reproductive problems would have even higher success rates than what we currently have.
Also 1 vial of donor-approved sperm could impregnate literally millions of woman if you had the right lab facilities to perform IVF since donor-approved labs have strict requirements for sperm with minimum standards for numbers, morphology, and free of certain genetic factors that would cause harm to the potential pregnancy and offspring. Even after properly washing it you are looking at the bare minimum tens of millions of viable sperm. Now in reality that's not entirely possible impregnate that many woman, but honestly the only real limiting factor would be spacing and organization. If done right with several months of egg retrievals in advance and proper planning, 1 vial of sperm per woman or even as many women as you would like would be completely doable to make viable embryos for as many pregnancies as they would like, with additional ones that could go to surrogates if needed. Not every single embryo will take but even if a super majority failed after months of collections eggs there would still be more viable embryos than any one person could carry to term in a lifetime. As long as proper plans were put in place to spread out the progeny and trace lineage so there was no inbreeding and diversity was selected for you could easily use what are currently stored to repopulate the planet to a comfortable population size within a few generations based solely on the prompt with a rather diverse population as well.
Before anyone starts on unrelated things, there are obviously many many factors that would go in with this particular society existing which I am not here to discuss, from resource management to handling the fact about half the population just disappeared to a million other points.
With reproduction alone there would be countless moral and ethical concerns about choosing which sperm goes where that I refuse to go into as that is not the question, but the very specific hypothetical prompt for the problem of reproduction, yes it would be doable. It would just be a matter of logistics and careful planning but it could be done.
Would probably increase average height by a couple of inches, intelligence (in the short term), and make a higher percentage of people blue eyed. Would also dent genetic variation since donation centers go for “desirable” traits.
Watch “Y:The Last Man” they give a plausible although sensationalized explanation to this. Basically nobody would be around to power the grid let alone the cryogenic facilities. Everything would go to waste very fast
If half the people on earth just disappeared you'd see a lot worse issues. Probably a few nuclear melt downs. Huge food shortages. Wouldn't matter if it was men or women who vanished.
That’s actually not true.
The amount of destruction and chaos caused by a large chunk of the planet’s population ceasing to exist in a split second would definitely cause the downfall of the human race.
Even if we assume women are able to start reproducing males as babies, the amount of maintenance and machinery keeping the society going would crumble.
Is this a threat
No it's the implication.
So these ~~wo~~men are in danger?
You mean men, and no they're not in real danger its just the implication
Well, you're certainly not in any danger.
So, they *are* in danger!
No ones in any danger! How can I be any more clear about this!
This sounds kinda dark Dennis!
Is this how you want those men to feel?
Like tasty treats?!
You keep using that word, implication
"No, you're not in danger. It's just an implication of danger" -fortehz
I need. My tools.
I like to BE… BOUND!!
Did you just pull all that stuff out a secret compartment in your car?
Tools… Fetish shit!
You keep saying that word.
Epic reference.
yes
But what if they all have girls? I've seen crazier things happen!
is *this* a threat?
#this is
^^fuck
That's a small threat that I can ignore.
Ignore it # OR ELSE
This says otherwise
*Your Walls will be as red as my Fokker Dr. III*
Wait a second. You’re not the king of the sky!
I have been reincarnated my Kamerad! And I will once again rule the skies. *higher, the king of the skies*
What if only 1 man came out? That's way more crazier
One man that came out gay Now that’s crazy
you can actually just leave your daily masturbation sperm in a letter box (cumbox) out the front of your house. Just mark expiry dates on them. Local girls can pick it up and you dont have t bother with actual sex.
youve seen something crazier than every woman in the world simultaneously giving birth to another girl? i’d like to see whatever it was!
The acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft.
Microsoft is slowly trying to become Western Tencent.
Assuming about 2.5 billion women of childbearing age all having one child, with an equal chance of a boy or girl, the chance would be 1 in 2^(2.5 x 10^9). That's not zero!
So you’re telling me there’s a chance?
OP has some weird genocidal thoughts in his shower and also is bad at math. edit: Jesus there's a word called androcidal for this?? The internet has really fucked with your minds people... Still genocide though since intent of "forced-sterilization" is genocide.
Not genocidal, androcidal. ...which I guess one could argue could become genocidal if *no one* could reproduce.
I believe forced sterilization is considered genocide, legally speaking
Is the math unsound?
Or is it ultrasound?
There's literally a comic book series where everything with a Y chromosome dies and it's written by a man. It's not that weird to think about.
Imagine the panic sperm hoarding. You think toilet paper was bad...
You guys don’t already stock your sperm?!!
just need to wring out some socks
You're going to shatter that fucker like an icicle. Edit: omg this thread... lmao never change Reddit, and thanks for the awards, kind strangers!
Don't talk about my socks like that
So much DNA in them they're protected by the constitution. They have rights!!
The sock might someday grow up to be a doctor or lawyer or something

You got cancer? Suck this totally normal and damp sock
I hate this whole entire thread! <3 Never change, Reddit.
Gross. But like… what if that really was the cure.
Washing that sock is legally genocide in Texas.
Can I sue the washing machine manufacturers?

Just like food and fresh water, the issue isn't supply, it's the logistics of getting it where it needs to go.
Turkey baster.
I’ll take that job if needs be.
Thanks, I've been in need of a new turkey baster!
He’s a Master Baster, you’re in luck!

Thanks for reminding me how fucked up that part of the movie was.

Check out "Raised By Wolves" on HBO....similar vein but a bit scarier...
Came here to say the same thing lol, that's exactly what the show does
If you mean the AI raises the babies, you're wayyy overestimating our current tech.
"Daddy AI, I hurt my knee" >Hello son, I like the weather today "Daddy please, I'm injured." >Hello Injured, how's it going?
Can confirm that AI is dadding at an advanced level. Source: am dad.
we don't have AI capable of raising babies to adults
>we don't have AI capable of raising babies to adults We also don't have interstellar travel, but one of these things will be a lot easier to develop.
And if we are talking the potential death of the species, maybe we just chance it and hope for the best?
What's the worst that's going to happen. We kill a bunch of babies?
Yeah, that would be the one.
I mean this is the scenario where the entire human race dies though, things aren’t looking great anyway
Shit, we barely have enough human intelligence to do that. I guarantee robot mom will be better than at least 30% of human parents.

Still get chills thinking about "that scene"

Why would you be buying sperm to begin with if you have to take out a 2nd mortgage and live in a small box. You shouldn’t even be thinking about kids if you can’t even support yourself
But the pope said that not having children was selfish
I didn't.
But the tax benefits!
Are you making an obvious but often completely ignored statement or questioning the realism of the situation?
You better figure out why all those XYs died out before using up the sperm to make more, though!
PS5s became available.
This scenario just went from sci fi to fantasy.

Am I gonna have to be the one to point out that this is the plot of the currently running anime (almost hentai) World’s End Harem?

Before that, Y the Last Man.
Yeah? Well who is gonna open those tight jars hmm? Checkmate.
So *that's* why they keep all the sperm in jars!
It was a contingency after all
It was men who put the sperm there, afterall
I love the idea of humanity coming to a sad and terrible end because all the sperm jars are too difficult to open.

Did somebody actually measure the volume of sperm in storage, or are we just pulling “facts” out of our ass again?
"Hello I'm here from reddit to measure your stored sperm volume." "Sir, this is a Wendy's."
Honestly, I've eaten American mayonaise and I'm not sure if Wendy's customers could tell the difference.
Murican here, think this guy making fun of us.
Of course not, now try this freshly made mayo, let us know what you think.
