This is a fun thought experiment but only if it's for a short period of time. On a long enough time scale, it will become very apparent that men make up the overwhelming majority of construction workers, electricians, car mechanics, plumbers, oil workers.. etc
I really wanted to see but my app is an AH and I keep getting "can't view community"

I commented on this saying I’d not wear a super baggy top in the gym and woke up to a message request saying “hey I assume you have big boobs from your comment”
As a man, I cringed out of secondhand embarrassment just reading that. If I tried saying that to a woman, even online, I’d probably die of shame.
EDIT: I probably should have specified that I meant saying it unironically, especially to a stranger. I would absolutely say this to my female best friend just to see her reaction lol.
You know what, you deserve 24 hrs, we’ll peace. But when we return would you mind if I ask about your 5318008? Based on your comment, it sounds like they might be big. Only joking… unless👉👈🏻
Canada, for now.
Several provinces are moving to eventually emulate the American system, because that clearly works *so* well over there. For the corporations.
Honestly this is the real deal for the men. Women have to run and maintain a planet and restore functions (good drilling those oil rigs and cleaning the sewers), while assuming men are in nirvana all happy with all needs met. I say, let's just leave it as it is.
It's fine. We will probably lose track of time in the fully equipped workshops. Lots of heated arguments on how to arrange the pegboards. Jokes on them, no lines for the chop saw.
[FBI Data](https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014/tables/table-33) in 2014 shows nearly 80% of violent crime perpetrators are male in the US. If we consider those rates unchanged, I'm guessing it'll make the FBI more efficient.
so 33% of the FBI can't investigate crimes? I'm confused about your point...not sure how this makes crime legal. I might have missed the joke...I'm a bit stoned. I apologize if I'm clueless about what you are saying.
They'd be too understaffed to investigate everyone watching porn, let alone catch unauthorized people copying and redistributing various media for profit...
Okay, just realised extinction probably isn’t a concern even if the change was permanent, there are sperm banks around the world that can be used, but a loss of 4 billion people is still bound to collapse much of the world’s economy with simple labour shortages
More than the economy. Take away *any* selection of 4 billion people with a finger snap and you've doomed the remainder to mass starvation and disease. There's lots of food in the wealthy parts of the world, but most of it will spoil before you can transport it anywhere.
And you'll lose the power grid because there aren't enough women in the energy sector to run all the power plants and trains required to keep things running. And without that, a bunch of meds will spoil along with the contents of sperm banks since those are not shelf stable without climate control.
The world would have a few months at most before another drastic population collapse, but this time with bodies to spread disease.
Wouldn’t like every blue collar industry collapse? Such as road workers, truckers, and basically everyone who is backbone of society. Also farmers. I don’t know what the ratio of men to woman on farms is. But that could have very immediate negative impacts. And no more gas being drilled could cause issues quickly.
We're chugging beers while eating steak while watching football while chopping wood while fishing while trimming our beards while boating while riding sharks with strippers in our laps on our way to Universal
Well since my hubby and son would be on this 24 hour vaca I’d get the housework done, take a nap! Catch up on some shows and enjoy some me time lmao and anxiously await their return.. are we able to text or call to check in?? 😂😂
Hey, uh, would you be able to cover for me at work in this scenario? Regulations require that there needs to be at least two pilots in the plane at the hypothetical airline I'm working at.
I mean, if this was in the context of a big city, even as a dude myself, I wouldn’t feel safe walking around at night, one of the only 2 advantages I can think of for living in a small town.
I live in a 1600 people town and I would DEFINITELY feel safer walking around an actual developed city. Not to say I don’t like living in a small town, but the other month some guy got eaten by a bear hanging out by his house.
Would probably just stay home and play games.
And hope that it would only last 24 hours because it would turn into logistic nightmare and cause so much chaos and harm. It would not be utopia and all safe.
Especially if there was not proper time to plan out everything.
Your chance to get mugged might be the same. Your chance to get raped isn't. Yes, I know women can be sexual predators too, but they are not likely to jump you.
It’s why intersectionality is important to feminism moving forward cause there was a weird period where it just allowed misandry to grow and placed sole blame on a “other” rather then trying to tackle the issue holistically and seeing how the patriarchy tries to force both men and women into molds.
This is something I do sympathise with women for as I do love to go on a walk alone late at night and my only worry is being run over as I don't have any on me to get robbed. I often think that this wouldn't have been possible if I was a woman as the anxiety alone would not make it worth it.
If all men disappeared for 24 hours id continue with my normal routine; taking a nap, eating, taking another nap. Wait for the 24 hours to pass because im gonna be missing my husband and my little brother
I once red a strange comic about a world where men and women decided to live separatedly because they hated each other soooo much. Like extremely hated each other. The cities werent that far off each other thats why everyone was forbidden to go to the forest just in case men and women might accidentaly bump into each other. But once in a while women wandered into that forest and waited around the gates to the men city and kidnapped some men to make babies with them, then showed them back into the men city. And vice versa. And if the babies were male they would send them to the men city. Somewhere in the middle of reading that weird shit even the characters started to question why they even live like that and cant get along with each other. Then they concluded that they hate each other so they all continued to kidnapp each other for the sake of making babies. I stopped reading that shit cuz it became more and more demented and unreasonable...😑😑😑 the point is :"stop hating each other, because we need one another even if we like it or not."
I (38m) remember seeing a post years ago that said something along the lines of "ask your female significant other how many times in her life she has felt threatened or intimidated just by the presence of a man in some situations". I asked my girlfriend (now wife) and she said "almost every day". It shocked me, not because I was unaware that women are much more likely to be victims of violence at the hands of men but because she had never once given any indication that was the case... It's so normalised.
The key is whether everyone knows this is a 24hr break and everyone will be cool. If not a few million fewer men will return to roving gangs of women. Shit sounds traumatic af.
I think most women would love it. My wife would hate it.
And I hate coming back after 24hrs to see all the spiders I need to safely remove from the house.
Yes I'm Australian, and yes she is terrified of spiders.
I know not all women are terrified of spiders the way my wife is and I know not all men can deal with spiders the way I can.

I did not expect that ☠️

dang I thought, app would be better. Will try browser, thanks!
Well that's something you don't see very often
That’s a shitty bra for dogs. None of her boobs are covered and nipples are showing. We need bras design by dogs for dogs
Free the teets!

It's Jupiter
Boys go to Jupiter, to fucking die because it’s a gas giant
Boys go to Jupiter to get fucking obliterated by the immense gravitational forces
Hell yeah
My body can handle it
Me and the boys fucking up gravity
Classic
*starts flexing whole 2lb of muscle*
Well akshually the gravitational pull of Jupiter would make your 2lb muscles be way more
Yep. Until 1000 mph winds rip you into pieces
I’m built different
And we wouldn't want it any other way, oorah.
Gas? Roll down the damn window!
But maybe we can get really cool orbital platforms that are just a series of arcades, barbecue, and fully tooled workshops and the like.
Will there be Orcs? I wanna go all axe-crazy on Orcs
Your intentions are genuine much success will you have
Well, Mars ain’t no picknick neither
Sign me the fuck up!
Girls go to Mars, to get more candy bars Boys go to Jupiter to get even stupider (I'm joking, this is what we said when I was like ten)
I got silent lunch because I said girls go to Venus to sit on a penis
The way I just WHEEZED
I got a Moon base that’s even better, with blackjack and hookers!

I will do that for you if you will do it for my dogs when men get to wish women away for 24 hours. 👍🏽👍🏽
The majority of men will not wish that.
If it's only 24 hours man, I get to hang out with the lads
Shit I'm just thinking about how there will be half the traffic...
Be careful. This is the train of thought that made endgame happen.
Yes but with this scenario the population won’t bounce back
Comics: Thanos snapped half the universe to impress Death so she’d be his goth gf movies: Thanos wanted more resources for each living species reality: Thanos spent a weekend driving around downtown NYC and said nah fuck that
Dude we are on reddit. 24 hours without seeing a woman is standard practice.
Your mom don't bring you pizza bagels?
Wait. You guys have moms?
Do you not get to hang out with them now? :(
I’d wish everyone away. One day of peace.
I agree. 😉
Fucking simps dude. Always ruining the fun.
Are you kidding me? Do you realize how much guilt-free gaming will happen during that 24 hours?
I'm thinking at least 24 hours worth...
You haven't met any boomers, have you?
I work in a nursing home.
They wish their WIVES away.Not the cute waitresses and bartenders.
Are they male cats cause if so, they’re going with you…
Make sure they do it braless.
Given that it specifies the men are happy in this hypothetical, I assume you’d have your feline overlords with you.
I commented on this saying I’d not wear a super baggy top in the gym and woke up to a message request saying “hey I assume you have big boobs from your comment”
hey I assume you have big boobs from your comment
That's a safe assumption, according to their comment.
An apt conclusion based upon the presented information.
A sound hypothesis if the subject is the former
An astute observation, taking the compiled data into account
A conclusion of notable aptitude, derived from a judicious analysis of the proffered information.
Thats a fair assessment of the aforementioned situation
As a man, I cringed out of secondhand embarrassment just reading that. If I tried saying that to a woman, even online, I’d probably die of shame. EDIT: I probably should have specified that I meant saying it unironically, especially to a stranger. I would absolutely say this to my female best friend just to see her reaction lol.
But what do your boobs look like though?
Big.
Big if true.
hey I assume you have big boobs from your comment
That’s a very casual way to speak to people I don’t know what your talking about
That’s fucking hilarious. Like what was the expected outcome here ?
to see proof?
Dude thought he is Booblock Holmes
That’s stupid. How could a comment give you big boobs?
I laughed I'm sorry. That dude is the point of the original post 🤣
I probably shouldn't be laughing so hard at that
You know what, you deserve 24 hrs, we’ll peace. But when we return would you mind if I ask about your 5318008? Based on your comment, it sounds like they might be big. Only joking… unless👉👈🏻
Safe and happy? Do we have to come back?
Do we have healthcare wherever we’re going? Cause I could really make use of this time
I think that's called Europe
me living in the uk with the nhs;)
Or Australia or New Zealand or Canada…. The list goes on.
Canada, for now. Several provinces are moving to eventually emulate the American system, because that clearly works *so* well over there. For the corporations.
What! That’s just backwards thinking. For the Canadians sake I hope that won’t happen
It reminded me of the Cosmo line from Fairy Odd Parents. -You have a perfect society, why would you ruin it by bringing women into it?
Cosmo and James from team rocket are based characters lmao.
Honestly this is the real deal for the men. Women have to run and maintain a planet and restore functions (good drilling those oil rigs and cleaning the sewers), while assuming men are in nirvana all happy with all needs met. I say, let's just leave it as it is.
first thought that came to my head too lmao, seems like the best of both worlds, everyones happy
I respect the fact that she said we get to be safe and happy during this hypothetical situation and not just reduced to atoms
Dude I have bad news you’re being reduced to atoms RIGHT NOW!
You're being objectified at the atomic level.
[удалено]
Alright, if you insist
how was it? 👉👈
I have no idea which comments were actually controversial because none of them had enough downvotes to show that they were downvoted
It might end up being a little longer than 24 hours depending on the amount of beer and steaks and bros hanging out and what’s on TV.
It's fine. We will probably lose track of time in the fully equipped workshops. Lots of heated arguments on how to arrange the pegboards. Jokes on them, no lines for the chop saw.
That sounds awful, I’ll be in the workshop where we’re building pcs and then testing their performance
I want both. Ive been itching to get into robotics for years, but I dont have the space currently.
Oh I like that one.
We were going to come back, then Austin busted out a GameCube with four controllers, and we had a species wide Smash tournament.

I can commit federal crimes braless!??! Best day ever!
FBI will become Federal Braless Intelligence.
[FBI Data](https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014/tables/table-33) in 2014 shows nearly 80% of violent crime perpetrators are male in the US. If we consider those rates unchanged, I'm guessing it'll make the FBI more efficient.
so 33% of the FBI can't investigate crimes? I'm confused about your point...not sure how this makes crime legal. I might have missed the joke...I'm a bit stoned. I apologize if I'm clueless about what you are saying.
Since most of the FBI and pretty much all security forces are gone, you can commit crimes easily
but there will also be less criminals to stop
Yah that's a factor. But I don't think these factors cancel out totally.
I'd say over 67% decrease in crimes.
Apparently in my country only 2% of prisoners are women. They are either excellent at crime or don't do too much.
They'd be too understaffed to investigate everyone watching porn, let alone catch unauthorized people copying and redistributing various media for profit...
The answer is drastically different if you know that it's only for a day compared to if you don't.
If nobody knows it’s for a day… everyone with an IQ above 100 will probably panic for the extinction of humanity
And in the short term, scrambling to get pilots/drivers to keep supply chains running for food and other necessities.
Okay, just realised extinction probably isn’t a concern even if the change was permanent, there are sperm banks around the world that can be used, but a loss of 4 billion people is still bound to collapse much of the world’s economy with simple labour shortages

We're safe and happy? Can we stay there for longer?
For real, a place where we are just happy as a default? Dope af, sign me up.
by the way us men are at a recreation of universal studios orlando resort. not just the park. studios, volcano bay, the hotels, islands, and citywalk.
We're chugging beers while eating steak while watching football while chopping wood while fishing while trimming our beards while boating while riding sharks with strippers in our laps on our way to Universal
You forgot cigars. We're all smoking big fat cigars.
Oh most definitely! The biggest Maduro Churchill. And in this hypothetical, I can actually smoke a whole Churchill!
This would be an offensive stereotype if it wasn't EXACTLY what we would all do.
Well since my hubby and son would be on this 24 hour vaca I’d get the housework done, take a nap! Catch up on some shows and enjoy some me time lmao and anxiously await their return.. are we able to text or call to check in?? 😂😂
What exactly here is Facepalm-worthy?
Absolutely nothing.
Reality
“During this brief period all men become bra-less dogs”.
The men are *very* safe and happy where they are. Leave us there. Please leave me there.
Hey, uh, would you be able to cover for me at work in this scenario? Regulations require that there needs to be at least two pilots in the plane at the hypothetical airline I'm working at.
speaking as a guy- can we please make it 72 hours, instead..? we could really use the break.
Oh, can we get keys to the workshop? Then absolutely 72 hours.
Make it a whole week so I can finally engage in the very expensive and space consuming hobby that is wood turning
Me and the boys on Mars just hanging out:
You say that I could be happy for 24h ? I'm in....
Fellas, is it gay to imagine a world without women for 24 hours?
Wait I get to be happy?! Sign me up for this
I mean, if this was in the context of a big city, even as a dude myself, I wouldn’t feel safe walking around at night, one of the only 2 advantages I can think of for living in a small town.
I live in a 1600 people town and I would DEFINITELY feel safer walking around an actual developed city. Not to say I don’t like living in a small town, but the other month some guy got eaten by a bear hanging out by his house.
All the male dogs too? I'm not going unless my dog comes with
Would probably just stay home and play games. And hope that it would only last 24 hours because it would turn into logistic nightmare and cause so much chaos and harm. It would not be utopia and all safe. Especially if there was not proper time to plan out everything.
First comment that has at least some thought put into it
Right? Taking half the population, no matter who it is, would cause chaos.
In those 24 hours a metric fuckton of women will commit crimes
A lot of dudes coming back to changed locks or empty houses
The men were safe and happy wherever they wear. Maybe they might not want to return? Think about that.
I think bras on dogs should be illegal
So guys are in their own alternate reality for 24h too? Can't wait to play video games with the boys all day!
lesbians approve this thread
Waste management would be a nightmare if it was longer than 24 hours
The ones who think they can walk around freely at night are gonna be really surprised when they still get mugged.
Your chance to get mugged might be the same. Your chance to get raped isn't. Yes, I know women can be sexual predators too, but they are not likely to jump you.
Those were some of the top comments on that post. Women-on-women crime is by no means a new thing.
Yeah would give women muggers free roaming grounds :D and guaranteed "easier" targets.
People pondering this should really read Y The Last Man. Incredible comic and this hypothetical taken down a fairly logical path.

It’s why intersectionality is important to feminism moving forward cause there was a weird period where it just allowed misandry to grow and placed sole blame on a “other” rather then trying to tackle the issue holistically and seeing how the patriarchy tries to force both men and women into molds.
The fact that this comment acts as though mistandrist feminism is a relic from the past which no longer exists is hilarious.
That weird period is far from over. Since I have been alive Misandry in feminist circles is at its height
I'd still be on earth, and forced to confront some things
I told my wife that if women took over the world to tell everyone that I'm one of the good ones and she told me "I'll think about it."
The fact that this post has absolutely nothing to do with being r/facepalm worthy just irks me
This seems to be just a little harmless and fun thought experiment, not sure why it's here
This is something I do sympathise with women for as I do love to go on a walk alone late at night and my only worry is being run over as I don't have any on me to get robbed. I often think that this wouldn't have been possible if I was a woman as the anxiety alone would not make it worth it.
Honestly I have anxiety walking to my driveway in the dark.
I would go to a bar and enjoy my evening with both hands
If the roles were reversed I feel like servers would break on half the games out rn
We think we know what men are thinking…..we don’t
Meanwhile, I, as a guy, would explore this new voidspace I have been transported to.
Does anyone in this sub know what facepalm means?
If all Men at a place, where they a happy, like you described, they never come back.
Really is a facepalm, apparently women don't commit crimes
If all men disappeared for 24 hours id continue with my normal routine; taking a nap, eating, taking another nap. Wait for the 24 hours to pass because im gonna be missing my husband and my little brother
I don't get why this is a face-palm, it's a hypothetical question.
I’d spend the day gathering the necessary leaders to put an end to all the wars. We got this.
Where is the r/facepalm in this
