Me after splitting myself into any number of copies:

I'm having an orgy with myself for sure.

Several regiments, plus casualty replacement

ShaggySnacks ,

Everyone keeps tell me to go fuck myself. Inonly need the one copy to live out that wish.

xmunk ,

You really need to work on your creativity - three, maybe four, copies would be much more fun.

Mac ,

You mean feed and house more people on a single income and subject those people to this hellscape? No thanks.

Plus, is my clone really going to be fine with acting as a slave? Unlikely.

keepcarrot ,

I thought about this and sometimes I really appreciate having someone to offload executive function to (like a personal trainer). Maybe we could take turns.

I enjoy both acting like a leader, as well as not having to think and just doing what I'm told. But I don't enjoy, or am productive, when I have to both act as my own leader and follow my instructions. Splitting in 2 and aplitting those 2 roles would probably increase my productivity and happiness 10 fold.

keepcarrot ,

Yeah, I find that I get squished between increases in responsibility without corresponding increase in power to achieve those responsibilities. :/ at work, anyway.

I guess I could learn lots of things by dividing learning tasks up

jol ,

The problem is I imagine sexual harassment at work would skyrocket when all the managers and ICs are my clones.

HopFlop ,

I was thinking something more along the lines of splitting the work equally, then synching memories after and then I have way more free tine (I'd unsplit for that).

blindsight ,

Yeah, I was thinking something like "come home for lunch" and swap roles. Both work half the day, and both get half a day to do a few chores/errands each week and get some downtime to play/learn/explore/tinker. Then divide and conquer in the evening the same way; split parenting time and other-stuff time.

Edit: Also depends if we can freely recombine and split. Merge to eat (most of the time) and sleep (amidst always) to minimize costs, split to do stuff in between.

HopFlop ,

Yeag tgats what I meant with "unsplit". Just do that for work and then unite again for the free time.

Mac ,

I considered that but it still increases costs plus my clone will also have the same hobbies that i already can't afford.

It would definitely be nice to split tasks but I'm just not sure it's worth it.
Unless they are also working which puts us back to square one.

keepcarrot ,

It would have to be a lot to change the local society, since one of me struggles in this job market and more of me will increase costs without increasing income (unless they all get a welfare cheque). More of my projects would finish (money notwithstanding), and I guess we could do heists. I'm not too fussed about who is the alpha, I think I could die tomorrow and have lived a kinda sad life and be OK with it.

KazuchijouNo ,

There's the option of raising an army of clones and take control over the senate, that way you don't have to worry about the job market anymore

It would probably start out good but go out of control quickly......

Schaffer the Darklord anyone?

Omega_Haxors ,

My copies would just unionize.

flashgnash ,

Personally I think I'd make a few and just permanently sync everything to the point I'd just be one person with two bodies

Avoids the ickiness of figuring out who's the original and having any kind of power dynamic

Bonus points if I can create/merge clones together at will

Melatonin ,

What a bunch of useless SOBs. Can't I clone somebody better?

RizzRustbolt ,

I'm up to 42. More than that just seems wanky.

exocrinous ,

Fuck it, I'm making an army and marching on the US.

    I'm gonna pull a fucking Multi-Man and duplicate my way across the ocean (thousands of me will drown), and then I'm gonna duplicate my way to Trump and Biden and kill them both. I don't need weapons, I can out-duplicate any attack and snap my enemy's neck from behind. I'm going to take out the entire army, senate, and congress. At an exponential rate of growth, it should only take an afternoon. I'll teach the people how to do anarcho-communism, then commit mass suicide to solve world hunger.

    Also, on the same day I'll read every book in every library in the world. And sign up for every course at every university. I'm gonna build utopia.

    Going dark with it: How much are organs worth on the black market?

    Keeping it light: like 4 or 5 maybe, as long as there is no degradation in capabilities I think I could feasibly let 1 do my job, then the rest and myself could pursue other intellectual endeavors. I would also always have a full D&D group and be able to play the multiplayer games I have always wanted to that never had the interest of my friends.

    If you would be willing to sell the organs of your clones, it stands to reason that your clones would be willing to sell yours. I think you would likely be harvested first and then they would devolve into a game of organ harvesting Highlander as they all turned on each other.

    DnD issue: memory sync.

    You're just yourself playing yourself, and all copies know what all copies are thinking.

    Adalast ,

    That's not a malfunction, it's a feature.

    I always play wildly different characters in my campaigns and like to mix things up. The other players knowing what I am thinking just means that I don't have to communicate my hair brained schemes.

    BurningRiver ,

    Yeah great, so I’d have another person around that I don’t really like.

    sexual_tomato ,

    At least 3 total. One to be a stay at home parent, one to do my day job, and one to do my side hustle. Possibly another to just learn things.
