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.
Probably spend the first couple of days fucking and then figure out what happens next after that.
So far my identical twin has not killed me nor have I killed them, so I’d be safe probably.
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 don’t think I’d kill me. I think it would be cool for one of us to commit a brazen crime in broad daylight whilst also having a rock-solid alibi. I couldn’t have killed that person; I was giving a speech to 100 people at the time who can all testify for me. Give detectives etc a real head-scratcher when all the evidence points towards me being the culprit but I was also undeniably somewhere else.
I’m picturing me and my duplicate having a fight that devolved into us actually trying to kill each other over this because honestly, I’d rather shoot a man…no scratch that, I’d rather BE shot than give a speech in front of a significant number of people.
lmao no, I’m way too lazy to try it, and also don’t really have a reason to do something like that.
We’d probably just alternate going to work/uni. The extra free time sounds nice.
Yes, cause I operate under Highlander Rules.
Anyone who has the thought: “yes i would kill clone me”, you better watch your back, your clone thinks the same way you do.
One of us has to move out and it’s not me
Isn’t it weird how I can fap without a second thought, but the idea of having my clone give me a hand job disgusts me
Hopefully my clone murders me so he’s the one that has to go to work
If it’s a perfect copy, without a doubt we’d try to kill each other as soon as the confusion of the situation wore off. We might not succeed, but we’d try.
Do his farts smell the same as mine? Then no, sorry dude you’ve gotta go live somewhere else.
Nah, We would become buddies. We would pretend to be twins in public. We’d split the work, I’d go one week and he’d go the other. We’d play Soulcalibur and Tekken and since we’d both be equally bad it wouldn’t be frustrating.
It would be hard to alternate work if its a professional role. You would have to do like update sessions and it would make more work for both of you relative to pay.
Or work together and do the job in half the time and enjoy the rest
I was thinking that. If it was remote during meetings you could alternate being face or listening lying on a couch.
We’d get along fine, but feeding two people on one salary will definitely be annoying (my job has a non-competition clause where I can’t pick up a second job in the same field), and getting enough adhd meds for the both of us will be impossible due to strict regulations here.
One of us still could bring value to the household by being the designated bangmaid though
you job barely pays enough to feed you AND and you have a noncompete?
There is almost no way that’s enforceable.
Nono, it feeds me comfortably, I’m just really into saving up since I want to own an apartment one day and I’d definitely be annoyed at having to feed an extra person with no prior notice.
Oh no we’d be cool! Assuming we have the same brain, we can switch out and only work half as much. And eat half as much too I guess, but that’s probably good lol
Okay but hear me out here. What if you both worked the same job 75% of the time rather than 50? You’re still working 25% less but, 25% of your pay is overtime which should be paying time and a half. It’s still a pay cut but if you’re both pooling your resources, probably not really noticeable.
