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.

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 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.

Too many people with twin fetishism to bother with murder.

Hopefully my clone murders me so he's the one that has to go to work

hell no, we'd start an onlyfans.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Yes, cause I operate under Highlander Rules.

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.

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

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

Do his farts smell the same as mine? Then no, sorry dude you've gotta go live somewhere else.

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

Me and my clone will be allies. I don't know if we could get along well enough to cohabitate, but we would definitely help each other.

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

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.

One of us has to move out and it's not me

I also would bang the clone.

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.

More likely himself or we would be arguing about who should get to die.

We'd both be dealing with too much existential dread to try and kill each other.

They might. But I wouldn't want that.
