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.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago

Murder the duplicates and use the delicious me-at to end world hunger.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

You would be an ecological terrorist.

lmao, so my thought was completing the Qattara Depression Project.

They seemed to think it would work. But I dunno, I just dig.

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.

Better to keep it clean I think ;)

Pretty sure what I'd do would technically count as masturbation.

[–] classic@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd do it somewhere where I could get caught just so I get to say, "It's consensual"

Have an existential crisis.

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Only an existential crisis? What about existential crises?

Duplicate duplicate or Multiplicity duplicate?

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I tell you what I’d do, man. Four chicks at the same time.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] Wanangwa_Bamidele@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 months ago

fuck myself.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's pretty much what my wife is to me.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Big reason why I really want to start dating again. Practicalities.

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.
