    Have you seen that episode of my hero academia where he does just that and practically takes the city over?

    Something to that effect but something beneficial like digging a trench into the desert to make it a rain forest.

      Why would you ruin the ecology of a perfectly good desert and a body of water to establish a non-native ecosystem that can’t sustain itself without human intervention? You can’t even have a rain forest where the rainfall is less than 25cm a year just by redirecting water in a trench.

      You would be an ecological terrorist.

    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

    Aside from practical jokes that make people think they are losing their mind. Like walk by someone by themself, have another me wearing something else walk by, and then have like 100 of me all wearing different clothes crowd around that person chanting “you need to wake up!”, then we all just walk away in silence.

    I guess I could start a business and exploit myself for personal gain.

    I might also let some intrusive thoughts win from time to time.

    So basically I would have multiplicitous fun until the government put me in a lab or asked me to one man army some shit.

    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 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

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.
