    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

    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.

    Like a twin, or like I have both bodies and am conscious in both? Nevermind, I’m not interested in doing either of those. Now, if I could duplicate my husband I have some ideas though.

    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 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.

    is duplicate yourself come with cost ? Not now, but further cost ?, and danger ?

    For example:

    • one of your clone don’t want to disappear when you want to.
    • one of your clone want to become ‘main’ and want to make you disappear.

      You must be a blast at parties. You can’t think of one professional or sexual idea you can do with this power?

      Ffs you could pool resources together and with like 8 of you get 8 incomes. Or you could work a 2.5 day work week with one of them. Is there a subfield you always wanted to explore but couldn’t? Make a copy and have them do it.

      Also threesomes.

    I wouldn’t mind only working every few days, but getting up to speed on what I missed would be problematic. People would probably think my memory had gone to shit. If I could solve that problem then I guess I’d make a couple duplicates and we’d share responsibilities. I don’t think we’d each need an independent income since we like the same things and can just share, or take turns.
