You can regularly sync your memories with your copies (either one way or both ways)

3 for security, 3 for family, and 3 for wandering.
we are crawancon
Why for security?
24 hours in a day means 3x 8 hour shifts on watch. Shit goes down and you can muster up a total of 3 to defend the original who can amass a hoard to zerg rush your enemies with waves of meat.
I think I meant more “why is security even necessary in your daily life?”
Pay Amazon to farm my data via their doorbell or put a me in a cute security guard outfit that is probably meant for a stripper and give him a stool to watch the block? Easy choice, Velcro short shorts and cheap aviators.
In this hypothetical situation, I would like to bolster the preservation of both the clones lives and possibly the OG Bio as much as possible. but I don’t want to go overboard with a whole empire of me.
i could call it crawancon’s council of nine… or perhaps nonet. or just crawanconglomerate.
yeah , fun at parties over here.

You go foss yourself!
Foss me, what a conversation!

So you already get enough sleep, have all your hobby projects finished, and are fulfilled in your romantic life?
Its not like that if i suddenly made a clone i’ll be getting disected in the government lab.
One clone could go to work doing a gruelling backbreaking soul crushing job, and the other could sleep, for example.
Yeah, but neither Clone would want to go to the job. Both would want to sleep.
I’m not so sure about that mate. When was the last time you had two years off of working? If you got that opportunity, you might be surprised how much energy you have for doing stuff when you’re not forced to kill yourself working for someone else every day just to scrape by.
Point still stands that neither would want to go to work.
Compromise - you could take turns alternatively having days working and sleeping with your clone.
I wouldn’t do that due to my morals and ethics.
You’re against taking turns abusing what is essentially yourself?
Yes i wouldn’t abuse me or anyone for that matter.
You’ve never… pushed yourself?
As many as my finances can comfortably support
Assume a clone is free. You could take turns with a clone sleeping in your bed, or the couch, or the floor, or at your partner’s, or crashing with a friend.
The clone doesn’t have to eat?
yes it does, it’s essentially you
Food expenses 💸
Ah. Right, good point. Still, a bag of rice a day?
You would give yourself a bag of rice a day? I mean, I hate myself and I’d still feed it well 😳
In that case then I’d start with one. Have them go to my job. And see how well they do at the job. Then get another one and have them do another job at a different site. Once I’m pulling in $200,000/year. I’d start traveling and see the world.
Since they are free. Then they don’t need food or water. Just need the heat for the house. Also need the electricity. As for clothing. Other then work clothes they can wear tshirts and jeans.
When I said “free” I meant you don’t pay to have one, but you still need to feed and house them, as you would yourself.
Having two for work and one (yourself) for travel seems like a good balance though.
Y’all never split a meal (into mouse-sized portions to the point that you go to bed hungry every night)?
I have enough problems managing myself. I don’t see any advantages to doubling the workload.
Would you be able to manage yourself better if you could hold up a mirror to yourself? Maybe by having a clone judge you, as you judge yourself now, you might be more prone to change?
Nah, I’m getting old and crusty, I don’t change easily without kicking and screaming. Plus I’d probably be annoyed as hell by my other self. I have my flaws, but I’ve learned to live with them - I just don’t want those flaws to have twice the amplitude.
A lot. It would be quite a few just to fully get into the hobbies I have, and quite a lot more to pursue all the things I’d like to learn.
Double digits or triple digits?
I could think of a few dozen on the top of my head, but I imagine it’s one of those things that as the collective "me"s got used to it, we could probably all use an extra hand and it would quickly get into the hundreds
Tell me about it
Double the current world population.
Destruction for the sake of destruction? I’ve seen a few anime’s like this, and they don’t end well
Are you saying I don’t take care of my things!!? The world is mine now!
I think so, yes
It would be very ill advised, but SO MANY. Enough to organize them. There’s a mall nearby that’s slowly shutting down, it’s like 99% empty now, and there are homeless encampments all outside it being hassled by cops. Instead of giving it to them, it’s gonna wind up bulldozed and turned into rich people condos. I’d make enough clones to occupy it and turn it into adhoc co-op housing!
…And obviously like all the boning and other stuff one does with clones as well lol.
Fuck yeah. You rock.
Enough to enact a meaningful change in your community? That’s probably the best answer I’ve read in this thread
Hell, I’m sad and depressed too when I’m alone, but I manage to get the laundry done and keep the lights on.
You are mistaking not wanting to torture another human being and subject them to a miserable existence, with depression. I think you might also be confusing being sad and lonely with depression.
Probably one, and I would need to swap the good and the bad parts between us.
Burdening your bad parts onto a version of yourself won’t accomplish much if your memories sync regularly. I think you might need to defeat your demons another way
You only said memories can sync, not that they have to.
I’m not talking about memories, but duties.
Assume you could sync your memories after each day. What would you do with them?
All I’d need is one. She’d do doppelgänger work and keep me company sentimentally as well as fulfill, ahem, physical needs.
Interesting idea but I would utterly hate a person like me.
The old saying about “you hate in others what reminds you of yourself” feels like it was written for me!
I really need someone to contrast my personality. I’d kick clone out within minutes.
Your clone is only a copy of you at first, the more it experiences, the more different it becomes. That’s going to cause issues eventually. They may even start working against you.
The solution is The Prestige.
The clone only exists long enough to complete a task or fulfill a purpose, but then one of us (and we don’t know which) is gonna get dropped through a trap door and drowned when we’re done.
I disagree. The comment says you can Sync up memories. That means those memories and experiences would happen to both people once Synced.
If there was no Syncing then I fully agree.
You just described a meseeks box
Yeah but the person pressing the button isn’t cloning themselves, and the meeseeks just wanna help and then die. Your clone is you, and may start getting…ideas if they hang around too long.
I was going to make a joke about how meeseeks want to die so it isn’t that bad, but some people may be into that.
Nah, that’s what you think. You’d be hate fucking yourself before the end of the day
'Please Sir, tell me why
My life’s so pitiful
But the future’s so bright?Well I’d look ahead
But it burns my retinas’- Pitchshifter
Tangentially related, but I often think about if everyone on Earth were just like me, what kind of place would it be?
Everyone has horrific qualities about them, but everyone has redeeming qualities too. I’m sure you and your clone would fight, but I can imagine you would get a lot done too
One me gets basically nothing done. I feel like a second me is just gonna be used to play all the coop games my friends don’t play and we’re gonna achieve even less somehow.
Yeah, two me’s would just amplify my indecisiveness to an unbearable level, I think we’d just explode together
Yeah, I’d fuck myself too ;)

None as well. The copies will have same needs, same level of lazyness. This won’t benefit anyone, quite the contrary. Just more bad people.
Nah, that sounds like work
But you could work as a team with common goals, and alleviate the strain of doing it all alone.
