If you are 75% good, your counterpart will be 75% evil.

If you are 99% good, your counterpart will be 99% evil.

What do you do if you meet your evil counterpart?

I've pondered this. They'd have to go. There can only be one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Not what's being asked, but I immediately thought of Nega Scott from Scott Pilgrim.

True Neutral is still True Neutral in opposite land. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Be the alibi while he does crime. Duh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Evil version of an evil version... Evilseption. I guess chalange to a competition.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Be glad I'm the good one, I guess? Or can we achieve balance and each end up with 50% good, 50% bad?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

You mean my good counterpart?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Truthfully I’d be super curious what a fully unlocked evil me was capable of.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some guy pops out blabbing something about being the good version of me and I continue eating my sandwich

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They make themself a sandwich with what you have left, eat it, and leave. You get a Venmo payment for the cost of a loaf of bread and sandwich ingredients later.

Truly, the good version.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Good me definitely also understands how important sandwiches (and sandwich precursors) are to us so that tracks

Morals don’t exist. What is my counterpart?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Your counterpart is a Moral Philosophy Professor

Username check out 🤭

Get someone to do a very long set of interviews, thought experiments, and tests to see what makes us different in order to isolate, regardless of whether we can tell which of us holds the evil position, what areas of belief can have a position than can be objectively called evil. It'd be hilarious if, after months of testing, it turns out the only difference we have is our opinions on marmite or pineapple on pizza.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a smart move. But won't your evil self be interested in screwing the experiment uo?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Only if successfully completing experiments is itself good or evil. The question stipulates they are our moral inverse, not opposite in every way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

as someone who is 100% evil but polite, it would be interesting to meet my good counterpart whom is a total arsehole.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What do you think makes you evil?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I wish I could tell you

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Congratulate him on being bad and ask for advice on how not to be nervous when talking to strangers because clearly he's got to have gotten over that if he's an evil counterpart to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Defintely hook up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Can we swap places? I'll gladly let him live in the worst timeline.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Ask him to help me with my look. Villains always have the best fashion sense.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Kill him. There can be only one.

Oh God, I believe that makes me the evil one. What do I do?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Killing villains doesn't make you evil. Unless you were already evil which would make your counterpart good, and killing them is just in your horrible nature.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Fuck. I love evil women.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Are they also my opposite in how they are good or evil, or just opposite in quantity?

For example, if I'm an antisocial asshole with positive ideals, does this mean my opposite is an extremely friendly and polite business major?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I'm 50/50, so I'm pretty sure nothing woukd happen.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I would punch him square in the jaw. That dude is a dick!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I picture a matter/anti-matter type of cataclysm.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Assuming they would have taken more or less the same life path I have, I would want to sit down and trade stories.

"What did you do back at that one time in Summer of '19? How did that go?" I guess I would hear some appalling stories, but I would be too curious.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

You considered raping or killing someone didn't you? Brave to just admit it like that.

I just realized there was never an evil twin episode in Buffy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The Wish (s03e09) and Doppelgangland (s03e16) are pretty close.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

what if you are 50 / 50 and you meet yourself and youre both like "hey dude, whats happening?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

We'll probably discuss who's actually the evil one and probably have to settle the argument with our fists. Hm, maybe not a good idea, I'm kinda of a pushover, so I'd probably just accept his bullshit and see if evil me could at least have a paid spot for me in whatever shenanigans he was doing

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm only 20% good, so they're 80% good. Murder them and take their stuff. It should be easy, stupid goody two-shoes.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

This was my first thought. My opposite will be gullible and am easy mark.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My evil self would've already completed her villain arc in which all of her art would be Pikmin fanart, except it's actually Breaking Bad memes in varying degrees of subtlety.

So I'd become her sidekick and do the same. I regularly pretend to fight myself in the mirror so that I can get really good at fighting with any and all potential clones of myself, so on the off-chance she wants to try and fight me, I have the experience.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

this would make a good sitcom, something in the style of Reno911

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Oh, they must be the version of me without the inhibitions, then? Cool. Let's go to town. >:-)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Find common ground and go out for Thai food.
