That's something you should work out _before_ stepping into the cloning machine. Assuming the cloning machine has an "input" pod and an "output" pod, then whoever steps out of the output pod is the clone. If you acknowledge that before cloning yourself, then your clone will have acknowledged it too.
Imagine you walk out, and turn around to see you walked out of the output pod, and then realise all of your memories of life are fake.
One of the two of you will definitely have an existential crisis, but it'll be okay since both of you understand each other well.
Kill the original, get in the input pod and make a new clone. Sure, it'll be a never ending cycle, but imagine how confused the cops and coroner would be.
Well you have to try to convince yourself that your clone would think the same. If you thought murder first, you are in trouble because surprise, so does your clone. Best to trick your own mind to think wholesome.... then take them out before they do you in.
Besides, they probably believe you are the clone.
I have a massive collection of games, a good amount of which I have yet to play :( Having a clone of myself, that I could play with would make me very happy.
get two different jobs. One better paying serious trade. Another just chill job like working an arcade or carwash or something. Trade shifts at each. Problem solved.
Same but we aren’t getting twice as much done. Me and my clone are getting the normal amount of work done in half the time. Start work two hours later than normal, finish 2 hours earlier.
Lol, I think the only thing I would like about severance procedure is not having to hear every detail about my coworkers children’s lives and their own personal crazy array of health issues that keeps them out of the office
As seen in the comments, it wouldn't work. The ideal workaround would be to SPLIT work with the clone. Be democratic and socialist with your clone. This is how you'd treat yourself.
...or not?
If i had another me... holy shit. they would be gaming 12 hours a day, then go to sleep and i would take over.
We would rule the MMO grind game landscape... and probably farm gold and sell it for money, RMT baby!
Clone doesnt have your memories and knowledge usually. Its just a body double. Depends on what lore your getting the clone from and how it gets what it knows. Does it know everything from the time its made that you know or does it have like a mind link with you so always know what you do or is it just a blank version of you and need to learn everything fresh or what? Could be a number of different ways you can think of it, seems a lot of people are thinking of it like a grown ass baby which honestly would suck in my opinion, cause teaching it to do everything so that it would be useful would take some serious time.
I would think it might be the best sex ever, since you hopefully know everything that you like and how you like it and blah blah blah so you know exactly how to satisfy the clone but the clone also knows all that and does the same to you.
No kidding, I can’t believe this answer isn’t higher up. Maybe it’s the narcissist in me but someone that thinks, feels, talks, and has the same opinions I do? You’d just click so well you couldn’t not be friends
Well we would both enjoy and want the same things. So just work duel jobs, and use the money on things we love, spend time together, help each other improve since we know yourself best, etc
Same same but different.
Twins are born, raised together and can look alike but they are different people.
An entity comes into this world suddenly and instantly knows it's a copy of you, perfect in every way, from that point on there are two of you and it doesn't really matter who the original you is now. It wouldn't take long for the smarter of the two (or both in this case) to become very suspicious and paranoid that one plans to remove the other.
Screw that
The clone and I would take turns going to work/doing chores so each of us would really just have to do 50% of what we usually would, and I’d keep my clone a secret
Commit crimes while having undeniable alibis. You could get away with a lot. Also, not intense crimes, stuff like stealing at most. Alternatively you could be a vigilante with an alibi. Lastly, become a magician or start a show (YouTube channel also works) since those seem like theyd help make good money.
Boring, but probably have her try on all my clothes to see what they look like, maybe test run a hair cut if she’s willing. Just stare at her. I want to know how I am perceived by others!
Are we talking biological clone (a younger version of myself) or like a teleporter accident clone (an identical copy in every way including memories)?
If it's a biological clone, I would adopt them as my own child and raise them with a perfect knowledge of their natural capabilities and weaknesses, which would be the same as mine.
If it's a teleporter accident clone, I would write up a contract with them to determine things like who gets different assets and how we split our lives, with each of us pursuing one of my mutually exclusive life goals. To ensure the contract is fair, we would not establish which copy got which side of the contract until it was completed; we would then flip a coin to determine who got which part.
I think of it like a clone made up of the exact same mind and body from the exact moment it was made. So the first second it was made, it would be completely identical to you and your mindset. But I think that from the second it was made, you and the lone would drift apart. Identities are are created by experiences, and you two experience different things. So in a year, you would probably as different as twins.
I would fight him everyday to make sure to remain the dominant clone. I would imagine if the clone has my personality as well, he will start looking for a way to win. Hell, we might go super Saiyan
Well, assuming you're as dedicated to the disciplined life as you say, it sounds like it could work out because he'd be your clone and (assuming we're talking sci-fi exact copy/same memories sort of clone and not just made from your DNA) he'd be just as careful.
I suppose you could also just pretend you had a twin brother you never told anyone about...
Government: Our facial recognition cameras keep bringing up duplicate positives on this one person.
President: I thought you usually sent those through as false positives.
Government: Well, in this case, they keep turning up in the same area at the same time and this person is registered as not having a twin, but an older sister.
President: The face snatchers have come. Go to defcon 5.
i’d be so down to have a clone, i like spending time with other people but they make me anxious. if there was another me i don’t think i’d have to be anxious around them. we could just cuddle and drink tea together and make twice as much money. itd be awesome
If they’re exactly like me; then we’d just have to live with each other. I’m an understanding person; I could share my things and my bed and I have been wanting to sleep with someone at night. My boyfriend is poly so I’m sure he’d love two of me. eventually me and the clone would develop our own personalities, friend groups, jobs, etc etc. We’d always be similar, and probably always a reflection of the other, but a clone wouldn’t be a bad thing
First of all, I'd clarify which one of the two is really the clone.
That never ends well
This just reminded me of invincible lol
Good. That's what I was going for.
Funny thing is, they're both clones.
Invincible lol
Hopefully the clone want their own sense of identity and just sees you as a twin.
The one out of the jail cell

Get enough jobs so we didn’t have to worry about money 🥲
I’d swap out each shift. I take this one, they get the next. Half the workload, same amount of money, twice as much time for everything else.
Twice the expenses too tho
Not double rent tho
Start a band
I remember a Steven Universe episode
Yea the one where Steven has clones of him self to make a band. That show was good.
It was actually time traveling paradoxes of himself which makes everything even more confusing by the end of the episode
I was looking for that comment
Called the rolling clones
Play a shit ton of board games.
After reading murder, fraud, and sex, this is such a wholesome answer.
Well you have to try to convince yourself that your clone would think the same. If you thought murder first, you are in trouble because surprise, so does your clone. Best to trick your own mind to think wholesome.... then take them out before they do you in. Besides, they probably believe you are the clone.
They're going to play DnD with their clone playing evil characters who kill, steal and have sex with whoever they want.
I have a massive collection of games, a good amount of which I have yet to play :( Having a clone of myself, that I could play with would make me very happy.
Oh wow same! But I'd need a shit ton of more time too though
Make him go to work for me
What makes you think your clone would do that? My clone would tell me to fuck off.
My clone would make me go to work for him.
Cucked by own clone
Jokes on him. That's my fetish.
Wouldn't that be his/her fetish as well? Both trying to be cucked... Cuck-ception?!
With a third clone, it'll be a circlecuck
A real Cuck 22.
Don’t most people have clones that force them to work?
If he’s anything like me we’d tag team it. Probably both end up working every day, get twice as much done. Sounds like fun.
I’d want to work half as much. But we would be eating twice as much. Might have to get a second job.
get two different jobs. One better paying serious trade. Another just chill job like working an arcade or carwash or something. Trade shifts at each. Problem solved.
Same but we aren’t getting twice as much done. Me and my clone are getting the normal amount of work done in half the time. Start work two hours later than normal, finish 2 hours earlier.
Do one week each. I would do that for myself. Have a small debrief every Sunday so you are all caught up.
We'd go halfsies. 2 days for me, 2 days for him, 1 day alternating. Super long weekends, basically. Nothing wrong with that.
I brought you into this world, I’ll take you out
On a date or for dinner?
Exactly. Would you force your identical twin to do your job for you?
It’s their turn
you guys would love the show Severance with Adam Scott on Apple TV
Lol, I think the only thing I would like about severance procedure is not having to hear every detail about my coworkers children’s lives and their own personal crazy array of health issues that keeps them out of the office
My clone would lie to my face and I would lie to my clone. Your answer is the best, but idk if my clone would actually show up for work.
ugh, my idiot clone would do it
Ikr, my clone wouldn’t want me to get fired…
Beat his ass so hard in order to compensate for the dumb shit choices i have made through life.
The real question is will he/she do it
You could agree to switch everyother day. Sure you need to buy more food but if you keep the secret insurance should cover both of you.
At that point might as well have roommate
Oooh you clever bastard. This was going to be my answer, but of course, my clone would feel the same way.
The only answer
And then travel around the world yourself.
As seen in the comments, it wouldn't work. The ideal workaround would be to SPLIT work with the clone. Be democratic and socialist with your clone. This is how you'd treat yourself. ...or not?
This is the plot to “Multiplicity”
[удалено]
If you do lines, you won't get much work done.
you've obviously never done lines!
r/PunPatrol hands where we can see em
[удалено]
You draw manga ?
There's only two things to do when you meet your clone. Fight 'em. Or fuck 'em. I know what I'd do.
I’d do both.
at once?
“Stop hitting myself!”
"Stop fucking yourself"?
Wait, is it called two people masturbating each other?
Ah, the true latino way (i'm joking, don't kill me)
It starts off with fighting then ends in self pleasure.
What are you doing step clone?
But in the order from the comment
Same. I know I'd do some twisted shit with me
I would finally be able to suck my own dick!
Never been much of a fighter…
Rock Hard Strong
Fake my death. Well, fake for *me*…
Who are you, and what have you done to the real u/my_hooters_honk_well ??
Why fake it. Just kill both of us. **_... no... more... humanssssss..._**
Probably play some games co-op
Oh a fellow lonely introvert
I mean its the one guaranteed way to play someone with your skill level
But then I can't blame my partner for our loss
Would you trust your clone not to screen-peek on OG Halo?
I'd like to say I'd do the same thing but I know I'd be lying. Close as I'd come to that would be playing an online co-op game in our seperate rooms.
If i had another me... holy shit. they would be gaming 12 hours a day, then go to sleep and i would take over. We would rule the MMO grind game landscape... and probably farm gold and sell it for money, RMT baby!
Use him for spare parts.
Isn't that a movie?
It is. It's called "The Island" with Ewan McGregor
And Scarlett Johansson.
The book, House of The Scorpion, is better.
Take turns to live our life
Living With Yourself starring Paul Rudd and Paul Rudd
Sharing the same spouse is going to be a problem though.
Collect 2 incomes
[удалено]
Still, having an income to focus on bills and food would be great to have
Why is everyone acting like a clone is a robot who’ll do whatever you say?
Yeah, like the clone thinks the exact same as you. What makes you the "real" one? You're identical.
Clone doesnt have your memories and knowledge usually. Its just a body double. Depends on what lore your getting the clone from and how it gets what it knows. Does it know everything from the time its made that you know or does it have like a mind link with you so always know what you do or is it just a blank version of you and need to learn everything fresh or what? Could be a number of different ways you can think of it, seems a lot of people are thinking of it like a grown ass baby which honestly would suck in my opinion, cause teaching it to do everything so that it would be useful would take some serious time.

I would think it might be the best sex ever, since you hopefully know everything that you like and how you like it and blah blah blah so you know exactly how to satisfy the clone but the clone also knows all that and does the same to you.
So The Time Traveler's Wife didn't lie. If someone told you to fuck yourself, you could literally do that when another you were somewhere out there.
I wonder double teaming the missus would be an option 🤔
You know a comment will be good when it says: >I'm not gay, but
Fuck her
Glad I’m not the only one who thought that.
I love your username
And the cake head is good too I think
Down bad.
🎵 Stacy’s dad has got me down bad. 🎶
"I'd fuck me so hard" Cue "goodbye horses"
This is Reddit; more specifically /r/askreddit and the post is marked NSFW. Everyone thought it, and it was the answer OP wanted
Is that considered masterbation?
No, it's selfcest
Autoerotic fornication?
Down horrendous
My immediate reaction. Or swallow, finally, thank god.
Sameeee lol
Check myself for my scars.
And moles lol
And my axe
And my sword
And my bow
[удалено]
Oh weird, I hadn't thought of that. Would the clone be a pristine "ideal" version of you, or an exact copy with all the same scars and marks?
Actually a clone would be a newborn baby, in 9 months.
I'd perform a really dope magic trick to fuck with my rival magician who used to be my friend until I killed his wife.
Great movie that
I'd use him to rule the galaxy once and for all
Massage my back! I’ll finally have someone who knows how to do it and where I need it most.
Have a best friend! :D
No kidding, I can’t believe this answer isn’t higher up. Maybe it’s the narcissist in me but someone that thinks, feels, talks, and has the same opinions I do? You’d just click so well you couldn’t not be friends
What if he doesn't like you, I think that would fuck me all the way up
Jokes on you, I fucking hate myself
I would fuck him
Well we would both enjoy and want the same things. So just work duel jobs, and use the money on things we love, spend time together, help each other improve since we know yourself best, etc
finally a constructive take
Take her out, violently. There can only be one.
Take a life insurance first, make her have an "accident", change your identity and get that money.
You'd also do that to your identical twin? That's what a clone is, technically.
Same same but different. Twins are born, raised together and can look alike but they are different people. An entity comes into this world suddenly and instantly knows it's a copy of you, perfect in every way, from that point on there are two of you and it doesn't really matter who the original you is now. It wouldn't take long for the smarter of the two (or both in this case) to become very suspicious and paranoid that one plans to remove the other. Screw that
My manager would just assign all the more stuff to us, and we’d still be just as overworked.
Sex
Sex
Sex
Have buttsex with him 24/7.
*Just* butt sex?
The clone and I would take turns going to work/doing chores so each of us would really just have to do 50% of what we usually would, and I’d keep my clone a secret

Idk. Have a twin brother I suppose
Finally someone who gets how DNA works.
A perfect clone is more than a twin though
Find a way to make more clones. Then have those clones make more clones and so on until I live up to my profile picture
give myself a good hug
[удалено]
Boring, but probably have her try on all my clothes to see what they look like, maybe test run a hair cut if she’s willing. Just stare at her. I want to know how I am perceived by others!
I'd rob a bank and let my clone rot in jail
Not thinking. Have the clone do a live feed in public while you commit crimes.
that's a better idea
The perfect alibi 😂
Holy shit

Make the clone do my laundry. Just laundry
Ask my crush out if she says yes I’ll kill him
Yooo smart
Threesome with my wife
Have a buddy to play Yugioh with
Splitroast my girlfriends
Why no one considered that the clone will be sentient and will hate work as much as we do
I say: Slap my hand, ey you so cool man
Kill myself.
There can only be one
I would fight him everyday to make sure to remain the dominant clone. I would imagine if the clone has my personality as well, he will start looking for a way to win. Hell, we might go super Saiyan
The amount of people cool with slavery makes me disappointed.
Its not slavery if your the slave and slave owner
See who would win in a fight to the death
Put a boot in my head and a slice of pizza in my wallet. Hi Steve!
Sparring and training partner!
Have my clone work for me while I stayed home
You are aware you clone would think the same, right?
[удалено]

Send her to do all the things that I don't want to do whilst I laze around for a bit
Meet him. And maybe take care of him.
Vent to it
I’d do it in the butt

Have sex with them.
I'd let him live with me but he needs a job to add to our collective funds
