This is completely off topic (and maybe I'm just not getting the joke) but does Many Worlds necessarily imply many human worlds? Star Trek tropes aside, I was under the impression that Many Worlds only mattered to gluons and Shrodinger's Cat - that us macro creatures are pretty much screwed.

You were joking, weren't you? I like jokes.
"Many worlds" here is shorthand for "every time some event happens that has more than one possible outcome, for every possible outcome, there is (or comes into being) a world in which that was the outcome."
As far as the truth or falsity of Many Worlds mattering to us - I don't think it can matter, if you maximize expected utility (over the many worlds).
That is not what Many Wolds says. It is only about quantum outcomes, not "possible" outcomes.
