I'm not sure I'd notice.

Make the world a better place. Hiring some hitmen to do some stuff on curtain people in power of companies and states.

Welp, guess I don't need to wait for trump to take away my citizenship. Straight to cecot... 🙃

Or maybe I'll try running to canada and get asylum?

Wouldn't be first day, but eventually I'd starve.

I'd no longer have employment, bank accounts, investments, assets in my name, etc. No proof of ID or citizenship either.

Maybe I could end up in jail, then I'd at least have a place to sleep and some food.

Crimes. I would do crimes.

"Who robbed the bank??" "Didn't recognize them"

this hypothetical scenario doesn't mean you're invisible. you just don't have your old records (back to zero). but once you start doing stuff, people may start creating your identity based on your movement, but it depends on their technology (camera, fingerprint scanner, etc.).

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 4 points 16 hours ago

Crimes. Still crimes.

[–] sixtoe@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 21 hours ago

Suicide. It would be a relief to be forgotten. There would be nothing left to stop me from powering off. 🎉☠️

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 4 points 21 hours ago

Party like it 1899!

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Account for all my assets. I'll need to figure out how much money I can rebuild my life with.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Good luck trying to sell anything of high value (house, car, etc) which has no ownership record

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 21 hours ago

It is more that I'd be assessing if I can drive my car around with its plates.

[–] PoopSpiderman@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Nice try. I’m not falling for that again.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Become the Spider-Man

[–] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

Create an in depth history that can be verified by anyone as true, and take control over the world using that made up persons perceived power. Then things are going to get messy for a bit while I impose my view on the world. If things go well I can hope I will be benevolent in the end. If they don't, purge all data of myself again and start over.

Third times the charm.

, As much as it would suck, your first goal is probably trying to reestablish citizenship, which is a long and arduous process in the most countries.

Thankfully in most civilized countries they've signed a pact saying that they won't deport people if they have nowhere to go because that creates a status that is known as stateless, And it's an obligation on the country is that sign those pacs to not force someone out if they don't belong to a country.

Being said, depending on country you may end up being detained while you do that process., It won't be great, but it's not like you're going to send to die either.
