    Dozens, at least. There’s a property I want, and it would be amazing for each us to work full time to buy the property, build a shit ton of cob houses on it, pay for solar installation et cetera, and then go off grid with my own clone commune, wherein we grow our own food, make and sell fiber arts and wood working to support ourselves financially, and study to get our PhD in cultural anthropology.

    Hell, a few of the clones could go off to universities in other countries where we don’t acquire debt and we could get PhDs in many, many fields.

    There are so many possibilities. Each of us picking a target language and learning it, eventually speaking hundreds of languages. With the memory sharing, too, it would cause a lot less strife over who got down time when, and who was out studying or working the gardens. At the end of the day, we all feel the same relaxation from a few hours of light reading or tears of the kingdom. My God, imagine the orgies. I am not my type, but I know what I like.

    Full time cooking clone keeps up all happy and fed, full time cleaning clones keeps us all nice and neat, full time building clones make sure we have decent housing, full time blowjob clones make sure we’re all relaxed, full time priest clone makes sure we maintain our tax free status as a religious organization. It would be glorious.

    Question, can I extend this gift to others? Can I let my friends or family clone themselves?

    tens of millions. and since we’d all be me, we’d only split into 3-4 warring factions of communists, but then we’d liberate the world…

    8.6 billion.

    Each of my clones would kill one person that was not a clone of me. Then we would all commit suicide.

    Climate change is solved. You’re welcome. Hopefully the next animal to evolve consciousness does a better job of it.

    What are the limitations here? Like… can I boss the clones around, or will they need to be coaxed?

    Because if I can get a clone army you bet your ass I’m getting a clone army.

        So we sleep in a pile like hamsters and accomplish just about as much as a pile of hamsters.

        Are hamsters depressed? Has anyone checked to see if hamsters are ok? I am worried about hamsters, they deserve to be happy.

          You must have some floor space, or a sofa, or a friend to crash at, and even you must be reasonable enough with yourself to have a sleeping location rota that you can (all) agree on

    I would actually take a very different route as a contrast to others on this thread:

    I would clone some 20-30 mes and do a speedrun together to gather enough funds to buy a farm, and live out the rest of my life in a commune dream with others like me 🥹

    Eventually there’d be other people joining in and I could release more and more of the clones as we gather enough saved up and finish the mortgage and all.

    So eventually we’d find something of a balance at around 2-4 clones with which we’d just arrange a rotating system of guaranteeing 3 weeks of free time each between a week of work 😌

    So what happens with my copy once I’m done with it?

    Does it just continue to exist?

    Do I need to kill it before it figures out that there can be only one, and kill me first?

    So long as I also get the skills, and experience from the copy, I’d want a single copy that goes to college for me.

    My biggest cost is rent, we can all sleep in a big-ass ratking, boys love threesomes without the trouble of figuring out who the third will be, AFAIK food costs scale in my favor if I got a second job and a third me for hobbies. We could claim to be twins but also rotate who’s running the of and faking vacation etc, produce higher quality content more often and charge more for it. and 4-100 mees for dumpster-diving/terrorism. Are there limits? Are the copies permanent? I’d like to replace the government of my country and the power seems OP as I could just copy up and annex everything in cartoonishly massive human waves.

      You can reclaim your copies and spawn more whenever you want.

      I know you want to enact change in your life, but isn’t overthrowing the gov’t a bit extreme? You have to remember that a good number of fascists voted for the status quo, and so will oppose you even more if you take the country by storm.

      Why not enact change locally in your community first, and then see if people like what you’re doing, and if so, try to spread that change, and essentially undermine the gov’t and their fascist voters by showing them an easy alternative, and eventually shame them into doing the right thing, all without a single drop of blood.

        Then the government knows what I look like and will be able to plan around my existence. Most national security policies assume cartoonishly massive human waves coming out of nowhere are not possible. The element of surprise and the rush attack is key to victory. Revealing that I have this power without conquering the planet ensures instead that I get kidnapped and get experimented with in a secret bunker.

        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.

    either 2 or 3 but no more. and we would always be together, would avoid being separated as much as possible. always in sync. I don’t want a clone to send off to do chores. I want a clone to be with me to help me do chores.

    Two clones, else it’s going to start getting crowded here I think.

    One of us works full time. One of us studies full time. The third would be entertainment (go see a movie, go to events, etc.). Every week, we rotate.
