If you got accidentally duplicated, do you think your copy would try and kill you?

They might. But I wouldn't want that.

Nope. There's a plan in place for that.
What? I do a lot of writing, this kind of idea isn't new, so I've thought about how it should work.
We'd both be dealing with too much existential dread to try and kill each other.
More likely himself or we would be arguing about who should get to die.

Oh no we'd be cool! Assuming we have the same brain, we can switch out and only work half as much. And eat half as much too I guess, but that's probably good lol
Okay but hear me out here. What if you both worked the same job 75% of the time rather than 50? You're still working 25% less but, 25% of your pay is overtime which should be paying time and a half. It's still a pay cut but if you're both pooling your resources, probably not really noticeable.
That is a solid plan, but I know me and other me would be too lazy for that lol.
One of us has to move out and it's not me
No actually we would probably be really sweet to each other and understanding. I am not naturally very competitive or hostile.
I'm pretty nice. I think it'd take some more intense circumstances like in Dark Matter before I or a copy of me wanted to kill anyone. I wonder if I'd be ok with taking turns for time with loved ones.
Is it narcissistic to think that having a clone would be awesome as hell?
