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.
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.
She and I would definitely be fucking tbh.
Other than that, finally, enough time in the day to work on hobbies. One clone works, the other hobbys, and alternate every now and again.
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’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.
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.
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 wouldn’t feel compelled to kill my clone, so I don’t think my clone would feel compelled to kill me either.
Probably spend the first couple of days fucking and then figure out what happens next after that.
Ooh boy 😂
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.
Even better then, your speech would be so memorably bad that people would be even more certain it was you and you couldn’t have been elsewhere.

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?
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.
