    In media, there are sometimes stories where a person is cloned/duplicated (usually with identical memories) and the clone is murderous towards the original. Usually it's something like "I knew there could be only one of us, and you would do the same". Sometimes, they're able to work things out and can share a single public identity, or duplication gives one copy a chance to do go off and live a new life that they always wanted.

    How would you and your duplicate get along?

      lmao no, I'm way too lazy to try it, and also just 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 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.

          If it's a perfect copy, without a doubt we'd try to kill each other as soon as the confusion of the situation wore off. We might not succeed, but we'd try.

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

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

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

                    I'm picturing me and my duplicate having a fight that devolved into us actually trying to kill each other over this because honestly, I'd rather shoot a man.....no scratch that, I'd rather BE shot than give a speech in front of a significant number of people.

                      Oh yeah 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

                      Okay but hear me out here. What if you both worked the same job 75% of the time rather than 50? You're still working 25% less but, 25% of your pay is overtime which should be paying time and a half. It's still a pay cut but if you're both pooling your resources, probably not really noticeable.

                        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?

                          So far my identical twin has not killed me nor have I killed them, so I'd be safe probably.

                            It would be hard to alternate work if its a professional role. You would have to do like update sessions and it would make more work for both of you relative to pay.

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

                                          In media, there are sometimes stories where a person is cloned/duplicated (usually with identical memories) and the clone is murderous towards the original. Usually it's something like "I knew there could be only one of us, and you would do the same". Sometimes, they're able to work things out and can share a single public identity, or duplication gives one copy a chance to do go off and live a new life that they always wanted.

                                          How would you and your duplicate get along?

                                          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.

                                          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.
