All I’d need is one. She’d do doppelgänger work and keep me company sentimentally as well as fulfill, ahem, physical needs.

Interesting idea but I would utterly hate a person like me.

The old saying about “you hate in others what reminds you of yourself” feels like it was written for me!

I really need someone to contrast my personality. I’d kick clone out within minutes.

Everyone has horrific qualities about them, but everyone has redeeming qualities too. I’m sure you and your clone would fight, but I can imagine you would get a lot done too

frickineh ,

One me gets basically nothing done. I feel like a second me is just gonna be used to play all the coop games my friends don’t play and we’re gonna achieve even less somehow.

MudSkipperKisser ,

Yeah, two me’s would just amplify my indecisiveness to an unbearable level, I think we’d just explode together

deweydecibel , (edited )

Your clone is only a copy of you at first, the more it experiences, the more different it becomes. That’s going to cause issues eventually. They may even start working against you.

The solution is The Prestige.

The clone only exists long enough to complete a task or fulfill a purpose, but then one of us (and we don’t know which) is gonna get dropped through a trap door and drowned when we’re done.

getoffthedrugsdude ,

You just described a meseeks box

HobbitFoot ,

I was going to make a joke about how meeseeks want to die so it isn’t that bad, but some people may be into that.

deweydecibel ,

Yeah but the person pressing the button isn’t cloning themselves, and the meeseeks just wanna help and then die. Your clone is you, and may start getting…ideas if they hang around too long.

irish_link ,

I disagree. The comment says you can Sync up memories. That means those memories and experiences would happen to both people once Synced.

If there was no Syncing then I fully agree.

Tangentially related, but I often think about if everyone on Earth were just like me, what kind of place would it be?

Psychodelic ,

Nah, that’s what you think. You’d be hate fucking yourself before the end of the day

Yeah, I’d fuck myself too ;)

Assume a clone is free. You could take turns with a clone sleeping in your bed, or the couch, or the floor, or at your partner’s, or crashing with a friend.

andrewta ,

In that case then I’d start with one. Have them go to my job. And see how well they do at the job. Then get another one and have them do another job at a different site. Once I’m pulling in $200,000/year. I’d start traveling and see the world.

Since they are free. Then they don’t need food or water. Just need the heat for the house. Also need the electricity. As for clothing. Other then work clothes they can wear tshirts and jeans.

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

When I said “free” I meant you don’t pay to have one, but you still need to feed and house them, as you would yourself.

Having two for work and one (yourself) for travel seems like a good balance though.

berryjam ,

The clone doesn’t have to eat?

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

yes it does, it’s essentially you

berryjam ,

Food expenses 💸

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

Ah. Right, good point. Still, a bag of rice a day?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

You would give yourself a bag of rice a day? I mean, I hate myself and I’d still feed it well 😳

essellburns ,

Two would be ideal.

Three would have greater benefits, greater complexity and problems.

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

Assume you could sync your memories after each day. What would you do with them?

essellburns ,

One would go to work, the other would be a house-husband.

I love my work, just don’t have enough time to stay home, keep the place clean and tidy, read my books, visit places and chill!

THE_MASTERMIND ,

None

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

So you already get enough sleep, have all your hobby projects finished, and are fulfilled in your romantic life?

THE_MASTERMIND ,

Its not like that if i suddenly made a clone i’ll be getting disected in the government lab.

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

One clone could go to work doing a gruelling backbreaking soul crushing job, and the other could sleep, for example.

Protoknuckles ,

Yeah, but neither Clone would want to go to the job. Both would want to sleep.

voracitude ,

I’m not so sure about that mate. When was the last time you had two years off of working? If you got that opportunity, you might be surprised how much energy you have for doing stuff when you’re not forced to kill yourself working for someone else every day just to scrape by.

Protoknuckles ,

Point still stands that neither would want to go to work.

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

Compromise - you could take turns alternatively having days working and sleeping with your clone.

THE_MASTERMIND ,

I wouldn’t do that due to my morals and ethics.

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

You’re against taking turns abusing what is essentially yourself?

THE_MASTERMIND ,

Yes i wouldn’t abuse me or anyone for that matter.

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

You’ve never… pushed yourself?

THE_MASTERMIND ,

Yes but this isn’t like that besides as i said if anybody finds out we both will get fucked

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

Getting found out is a legit problem if such thing were illegal, but just assume that your memories with your clone will be synced at the end of each day, and everyone who you want to know about your clones is cool with it.

THE_MASTERMIND ,

I’m gonna entertain your idea and say if i have to make a cloan (because if there is a choice i wouldn’t) i’ll give us 2 minutes before fighting to death (if you have seem invincible series they kinda explains the clone dillema )

tetris11 OP ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t understand the number of people in this thread who can’t seem to enjoy their own company. Hell, I’m sad and depressed too when I’m alone, but I manage to get the laundry done and keep the lights on.
