I’m a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won’t get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.
But the world won’t end.
I’m a sysadmin. So like two days tops before absolutely everything stops working, and we resort to loin cloths and spears.
I came here to make this exact comment except I was gonna mention the Stone Age and I’d give it about a week.
Senior SysAdmin here.
48 hours sounds about right. I usually get an email on day 1 of any holiday, and a panicked call on day 2 because something is down.
By day 3 all the gaps are covered by other admins after I point them at the existing documentation, that noone even looked at.
Honestly if the AWS system admins all died at once I think that’ll probably be enough to take us down at this point.
I’m a student… the world wouldn’t end but it also wouldn’t have a future.

I’m a digital marketer. The world would instantly start improving probably. you’re welcome.
Network Engineer.
The internet becomes more stable because we stop fiddling with the internet routing protocols.
Yep, I’m one as well. No more routes to fuck up. No more vlans to trunk by accident.
Lots of dead people. Paramedics help many.
Thank you for what you do!
You betcha.
My job title is “Team Member” my industry is “Warehousing” the world literally ends before the day is out.
Since you’re now unemployed, wanna join my gang and try to take over the local ware house district full of rice so we can try and survive until humanity has fallen and we can survive on foraging?
Oh no, the Business Systems Analysts are gone. Whatever shall we do. Society won’t survive like this. Who’s gonna analyze business requirements for systems. A tragedy, to be sure. 😶
Just remind us of how much of a luxury you are and how much we appreciate having you around :)
Yeah. My team will keep producing software, but from now on its whatever the hell we feel like writing.
The good news is everything comes with a pinball mini-game Easter egg.
The bad news is nothing actually works.
Actually… This might be another one where I’m already living in this timeline and every BA I’ve met was my personal delusion created by my own brain trying to protect itself from the madness…
Please tell me the mini-game will work at least!
I’m an IT director. Things begin running more smoothly.
Sewage in the street by days end. Resurging preventable diseases long thought vanished by the developed world shortly thereafter.
Farm worker. Food shortage, widespread food shortage. People would have to change their diets within a few weeks, and learn to hunt to avoid starvation in a few months. Unstaffed farms would be cleaned out for immediate food over time, and the price of anything edible not raised on a farm of some kind would shoot to the moon. Any automated farming that a landowner could run would be the way to go, for lack of workers.
There would be a lot fewer old people by the end of the month… (ICU Nurse)
Thousands of deaths within seconds. Airline pilot
Commercial? How’s your job? Just curious coming from someone who once wanted to be a pilot.
Happiness depends heavily on where in the world you are employed by which airline and what you make of it with your personal attitude. The spectrum of work/life balance is huge and payment can range from negative (pay us to allow you to fly for us) to big bucks (who has the time to spend this much?). Different labour rights in different countries like being fired and deported on a whim or strong unions and rights that protect you almost no matter what. How much free time do you have? Both at destination and at home, what is more important for whom? I had to retire due to a brain cancer diagnosis. So medical stuff is another slippery slope. Back pains? Migranes? You’re on your way out. I loved the job though. I was flexible enough to not be bothered by last minute changes to my flight roster or irregular sleep schedules. Not having kids and a stay-at-home wife helped with that as well. (If your partner works as well, the time you actually see each other can get scarce.) This also applies to friends. Wanna go out with me on a Friday? Should have told me two months ago so I could have requested off days… you get the idea.
Trucks dont get dispatched so give it a few days and grocery stores will run out, every store will out.
I’m a software dev.
Looking at this thread, Lemmy’s userbase would halve.
Holy shit my job is worthless
