I'm not sure I could kill someone truly unmistakably evil, let alone someone I can emphasize strongly with. If my duplicate gets that too, they aren't killing me.

I’d finally have a reliable coop gaming partner. Neither of us would squander that truly priceless gift.

This post and the numerous replies affirming our clones wouldn't try to kill us makes me wonder, what is the basis for this trope? Is it just the assumption that any doppelganger must be evil? I wonder what the cultural origins are, would it be European fae?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure my clone would still try to kill me, but it'd be doing so out of kindness. I've always wanted to die on my feet in combat, and I've never wanted to live, so we'd kinda be fighting over who gets the privilege of death. Whichever one of us wins has to keep going, while the other gets released.

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.

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.

Nah I’m pretty chill so imagine clone me would also be chill.

Probably spend the first couple of days fucking and then figure out what happens next after that.

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.

hell no, we'd start an onlyfans.

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.

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

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.

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'd give him the keys, the passwords, and wish him good luck with my life. BUH BEYE!

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.

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 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

No actually we would probably be really sweet to each other and understanding. I am not naturally very competitive or hostile.

I also would bang the clone.

I wouldn't feel compelled to kill my clone, so I don't think my clone would feel compelled to kill me either.

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 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.

I'm one of the copies and I'm more charming than the original that I killed.

Is it narcissistic to think that having a clone would be awesome as hell?

Anyone who has the thought: "yes i would kill clone me", you better watch your back, your clone thinks the same way you do.

Do we have the same personality? Because I don't see why it would escalate to murder. I don't like violence.

I think most likely is we'd take turns going to work, and one of us would always get to stay home and procrastinate on chores. For some people that probably wouldn't work as the duplicate would point out they have no obligation to their original, but I have a million siblings so an obsession with fairness has been hard-coded into my brain. We would work the exact same amount of hours and split all our sweets perfectly evenly.

I think the big downside is that I'd probably have to stop going to the gym. Alternating days would effectively halve my progress, and I'm not buying twice as much protein power.

I’d roll the dice on just coming out publicly as two of the same guy. I’m pretty sure we’d spend like a year being minor celebrities and then everyone would stop caring.

Yes, cause I operate under Highlander Rules.

Finally, someone to guilt me into doing things

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.

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.

I would be the murderer and he would be securing our alibi.

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.

Na I'm pretty chill. We'd just live and let live. I'd probably have to prove I'm the original which might be tricky but then the clone would leave and start a new life I guess, that's what I'd do so it's probably what my clone would do too.

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
