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.
Yes, cause I operate under Highlander Rules.
I think we would get along well because I love people who laugh at my jokes and nobody laughs as hard at my jokes as I do, except maybe my wife, who after 12 years together still laughs harder than anyone I’ve ever met at my jokes.
Hopefully my clone murders me so he’s the one that has to go to work
I would be the murderer and he would be securing our alibi.
This could’ve been a great episode of columbo.
So I’ve been thinking about this and I think it mostly depends on if my wife was also duplicated. If so, I could see the 4 of us living together and pooling resources. Possibly even working out some shenanigans to double dip or get out of some things. However, I can’t see my wife or myself being cool with an arrangement where a duplicate and I share my wife. I don’t know if I’d kill The other me over it but, I could see us coming to blows over it.

It’s starting already!
So far my identical twin has not killed me nor have I killed them, so I’d be safe probably.
Is it narcissistic to think that having a clone would be awesome as hell?
hell no, we’d start an onlyfans.
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.
That is a solid plan, but I know me and other me would be too lazy for that lol.
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.
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.
No actually we would probably be really sweet to each other and understanding. I am not naturally very competitive or hostile.
No. We would go camping and do cool stuff together. The only conflict I foresee is taking turns on the gaming PC, but we would be happy to work together to build a second one.
Probably spend the first couple of days fucking and then figure out what happens next after that.
Ooh boy 😂
