If you could split yourself into a copy of yourself, how many copies would you make to satisfy all your wishes? (lemmy.ml)

You can regularly sync your memories with your copies (either one way or both ways)

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.

    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.

    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

    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.
