Ok, bored at work, so just thinking aloud...


If it were magically possible to clone yourself, as you are now, and you had to live with this clone, would you get on together, or bicker and argue?


Personally I reckon it'd show up my really hypocritical side, and I'd get sick of myself and my way of doing stuff after a day or so. Either that or I'd be so embarrassed at seeing myself how other people see me (I really find it cringeworthy watching myself on video) that I'd probably become a hermit and only emerge when I'd completely altered every single one of my habits and mannerisms.
 
I would be able to get along well with another me, it would be pretty funny, we could play tricks and stuff, I'd make millions! :D Just like the film "The Prestige"
 
Interesting question. I'd probably be much of the same mind as you. I'd get ****** off with my arrogance, my know it all attitude and my hypocritical stupidity. I'd get seriously annoyed with my continuing niggling injuries which I just can't shake, despite having an ultimate training goal. I'd get annoyed with how little free time I have, especially as I'd have less free time, and get more annoyed.

At least I'd have someone who felt the same hatred for Tesco's to speak too though :cool:

Surely with another you, you could split the chores and have more free time each as a result?

I'd probably end up ignoring the other me as we would know everything there is to know about each other, our views, thoughts and opinions which would make conversation rather dull. They would, however, make a good sporting opponent as we would be evenly matched (obviously).

Nah I'd have less free time because I'd have someone else who is as obsessed with exercise as me, so I would run more, row more, play badders more...I'd run myself into the ground, twice!
 
I'm waiting for someone to ask the age-old question of wether sex with your own clone/double would be homosexual, incest, or something else. Come on OcUK, don't disappoint. :p
 
Check out the episode of Red Dwarf where Rimmer clones himself. They end up arguing all the time. I think if I had a clone I would too.

Is it then possible to clone girls and get them 'interested' in their other clone? Sounds like fun!
 
I'd pull scams. Earn millions in undeniable magic tricks.

Have me on a street. Gather an audience. Get into a taxi. 5 seconds later my clone who parachuted out of a plane moments before, lands in my place.
 
They ripped him apart for that comment, but actually, he has a point in a way.

If you cloned yourself, your clone would have all the knowledge and memory as you. Complete carbon copy right?

The clone would be absolutely adamant that you were the clone, after all his memories would be the same as you. Witnessing one of you getting cloned. He would think it was you, and you would think it was him.

Only a true outsider who observed the process would know who the clone is, but the original and clone would both have equal confidence that they were the original. There's every chance you might doubt yourself after a while. Especially when he starts recalling the cloning event so accurately. :p

It would be all of the above.

It'd be like homosexual incest with a dash of masturbation.
