In media, there are sometimes stories where a person is cloned/duplicated (usually with identical memories) and the clone is murderous towards the original. Usually it’s something like “I knew there could be only one of us, and you would do the same”. Sometimes, they’re able to work things out and can share a single public identity, or duplication gives one copy a chance to do go off and live a new life that they always wanted.
How would you and your duplicate get along? Assume you are living like you do today, in a society where duplication is unheard of and has no legal precedent.
Hopefully my clone murders me so he’s the one that has to go to work
Too many people with twin fetishism to bother with murder.
i’ve learned recently that there’s a surprisingly large number of people that find me attractive despite my size and age; i would 100% create an only fans page with my duplicate to capitalize on this fact. lol
Awww that’s nice
You could do it half way right now
Maybe learn greenscreening
they somehow find me “charming” so i would have to record myself at least twice, with each time recording one half of a conversation; not that, that’s a bad thing since some small part of me has been looking for a new hobby and video editing might prove to be as lucrative as my last passionate hobby with linux programming. lol
I’ve seen so many TV shows, movies, even commercials where a clone or future self doesn’t get along with his twin. I don’t understand this. I think I’d get along swimmingly with myself. I mean what’s better than spending time with someone who thinks like you do?
I wouldn’t feel compelled to kill my clone, so I don’t think my clone would feel compelled to kill me either.
Yes, cause I operate under Highlander Rules.
Do his farts smell the same as mine? Then no, sorry dude you’ve gotta go live somewhere else.
hell no, we’d start an onlyfans.
I’m one of the copies and I’m more charming than the original that I killed.
I’d give him the keys, the passwords, and wish him good luck with my life. BUH BEYE!
If he’s you and you want to be free of your life and wish it could be someone else’s problem then your duplicate is just going to run a mile and thank their lucky stars for this break.
I’d finally have a reliable coop gaming partner. Neither of us would squander that truly priceless gift.
Also, you can just work either double the time or half each.
No, we would work together on tasks. I would walk to work while Other Me would take my car and get errands done. Or to change things up a little, Other Me could walk to work and I would run errands.
Hell, Other Me could play my online games and make progress while I’m at work. I’ve been meaning to level up my Black Mage in FFXIV, but life has kept me busy.
In the evenings, we would have to clearly explain to each other what we did that day and who we interacted with. Otherwise we risk diverging into two different people.
Oh god, two of me! 😂
I think she’d keep telling me dumb jokes while trying to compete with me in drawing, and late at night she’d send me goofy memes that I’d laugh at.
I’m pretty nice. I think it’d take some more intense circumstances like in Dark Matter before I or a copy of me wanted to kill anyone. I wonder if I’d be ok with taking turns for time with loved ones.
A friend who thinks exactly the same as I do and can get excited at the same ideas? Hell yeah, we’d be inseparable. I have so many projects that would be much easier done with two people. Also, free gym buddy/trainer. My partner would be into it as well for a multitude of reasons. The only trouble would be living space.
I can’t think of anything worthwhile we can do as a single legal entity so first thing we’d do is probably acquire a new legal identity so we can legally work and be taxed separately and just generally participate in society. It would be pretty easy to prove that we’re genetically identical and therefore are identical twins born at the same time at the same place to the same parents. Everything else can be chalked up to clerical error. The people in charge of this aren’t paid enough to care and dig any further than that.
I think my duplicate and I would take turns working versus staying at home to get things done, like putting together that cat tower/rope-bridge I’ve (we’ve) been holding off on
