    We could both get jobs and then we could probably afford to buy a house

    Gym partner

    Easier/cheaper to cook for 2

    Just a lot of life would be easier if I had someone I could trust 100% who also has all the same preferences and goals as me

      I’d do it somewhere where I could get caught just so I get to say, “It’s consensual”

    Have you seen that episode of my hero academia where he does just that and practically takes the city over?

    Something to that effect but something beneficial like digging a trench into the desert to make it a rain forest.

      Why would you ruin the ecology of a perfectly good desert and a body of water to establish a non-native ecosystem that can’t sustain itself without human intervention? You can’t even have a rain forest where the rainfall is less than 25cm a year just by redirecting water in a trench.

      You would be an ecological terrorist.

    Aside from practical jokes that make people think they are losing their mind. Like walk by someone by themself, have another me wearing something else walk by, and then have like 100 of me all wearing different clothes crowd around that person chanting “you need to wake up!”, then we all just walk away in silence.

    I guess I could start a business and exploit myself for personal gain.

    I might also let some intrusive thoughts win from time to time.

    So basically I would have multiplicitous fun until the government put me in a lab or asked me to one man army some shit.

    I would not. There’s enough suffering in the world.

    Like Dupli-Kate in Invincible (hive mind/can merge back together)? Or like Robert Angier in The Prestige (separate clone/entity)?

    If the former, I’d probably use it to sow chaos amongst my political opponents (fascists) for as long as they exist.

    If the latter…meh, maybe the same, but far more sparingly, as the creation of a new consciousness rather than just an extension of my own implies a far more unpredictable outcome of my/our actions.

      I was looking for a word that might immediately resolve questions regarding how it might work and the like, to avoid those follow-up questions and free people up to answer however they imagine it would work. It’s…Kinda worked? Aside from a few replies like this, which I don’t mind, I just wanted to encourage people to roll with it as they will

        Yeah sorry was a bit tired and could not immediately see what the word unconditionally added. My intention was not pedantry. To answer I suppose I am not sure that I would duplicate myself, causes some problems with identity - for example do the people who love you love them? I think it lives under the category of possibly making things worse, identical twins don’t laugh all day because of how easy life is. The most likely outcome is they would move away and we hardly talk.
