Gang bang my wife

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

If I can duplicate myself, but that duplicate is in other gender (i.e: changing a gender gene would be so hard, isn't it). There would be so much fun.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You gotta force yourself into believe that once you make a clone, the original have to die, and volutary dispose of yourselves.

Volutary action is much more easy and less messy than having a duel

I have a gay party with ourselves and nobody will know about it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Honestly I could summarize my day to myself in five minutes or so. It isn't that complicated.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Each kid and wifey could have individual Daddy/hubby attention at the same time. My yard and home would look immaculate because my ADHD task burnout could be overcome by calling in a new helper.

I could probably make bank and help improve the lot of humanity by allowing my duplicates to go through controlled medical and scientific testing.

At some point one of me would figure out how to leverage this ability for the absolute betterment of humankind. That would probably become a driving mission for the collective me at that point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'd donate a lot of bodies to science

No further comments.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd become a magician and Prestige myself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Wew, that's dark if you know what it mean.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Better to keep it clean I think ;)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'd make 1 to go to work for me. Other than that I really don't mind the rest of my life.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Are you a chick, or are you expecting 4 random women to want to be with you and duplicates of you? I think most Lemmites have a hard time just finding one woman.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

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.

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

Do only half of the annoying tasks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

If we all pitch in, we each only have to do one-quintillionth of a thing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Not duplicate myself

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Fuckin' A, man.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I would cure my loneliness.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Implement my list of ideas. Although it is pretty likely we will end up watching YouTube videos together

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

More like who would I do 😏

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago (2 children)

boy this really depends. Is it a hive mind kind of thing or are we independent? Is there a prime? Do the duplicates have a shelf life or will they live a normal life once duplicated? I mean if they were independent and lived a normal life. Like some kind of spontaneous clone where we shared memory up to the point of duplication. Well then I would never do it. It would be worse than having children. If it were like a hive mind and we could re-absorb and such. mmmm. not sure as its basically a super power at that point. would likely use it casualy or as need be. Would definately make any carrying task easier. Even then it sorta depends how the hive mind works in terms of multitasking and such.

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

Like those in Chinese web novel, you create a clone, the clone kill you and become you :D

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Congratulations! You have been promoted to Senior Overthinker #2! Make your way down this corridor (ignore the bodies) and collect the prize!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah the unconditional part.

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

Touche random internet friend

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I would not. There's enough suffering in the world.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Catalog my media library, finally.

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

Nothing. I should be limited to one or less.

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

What is the unconditional part here?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was looking for a word that might immediately resolve questions regarding how it might work and the like, to avoid those follow-up questions and free people up to answer however they imagine it would work. It's...Kinda worked? Aside from a few replies like this, which I don't mind, I just wanted to encourage people to roll with it as they will

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah sorry was a bit tired and could not immediately see what the word unconditionally added. My intention was not pedantry. To answer I suppose I am not sure that I would duplicate myself, causes some problems with identity - for example do the people who love you love them? I think it lives under the category of possibly making things worse, identical twins don't laugh all day because of how easy life is. The most likely outcome is they would move away and we hardly talk.
