    boy this really depends. Is it a hive mind kind of thing or are we independent? Is there a prime? Do the duplicates have a shelf life or will they live a normal life once duplicated? I mean if they were independent and lived a normal life. Like some kind of spontaneous clone where we shared memory up to the point of duplication. Well then I would never do it. It would be worse than having children. If it were like a hive mind and we could re-absorb and such. mmmm. not sure as its basically a super power at that point. would likely use it casualy or as need be. Would definately make any carrying task easier. Even then it sorta depends how the hive mind works in terms of multitasking and such.

    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

      Are you a chick, or are you expecting 4 random women to want to be with you and duplicates of you? I think most Lemmites have a hard time just finding one woman.

    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 probably wouldn’t. Over time the multiple versions of me would diverge in terms of experiences and opinions. And knowing how stubborn I can sometimes be I’d probably get very annoyed with my own clones, which in turn will make me dislike myself more. It’ll force me to perceive my own behaviour as an outsider, which will make me judge myself even harder.

    One of me is enough :3

    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.

    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.

    Implement my list of ideas. Although it is pretty likely we will end up watching YouTube videos together

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