I'd get drunk with a clone of myself but things might get a little weird.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've been drunk with my clone, we just wind up playing Untitled Goose Game together.

Can you imagine how in sync you'd be with your clone for co-op games?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

We are not in sync in the slightest lmfao. We get bickery over what we're suppose to do in the various games. It's why the farming games are better, we just divide what we want to do, ie - Twin goes and does farming, I go fish, twin goes into the mines, I deal with animals, etc etc.

I bet he'd like to play Rocket League during sex. And he'd never utter the words "I'm tired of pizza" like yet another heartless monster I have to abandon.

You should read "The Man Who Folded Himself."

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

there's a heinlein novel where the main character travels through time, has a sex change, travels back through time, marries themself, then the older version of the character gives birth to the original incarnation of the character.

I'm not sure whether this was heinlein decrying a potential future or fantasizing, to be honest

[–] Lemmypy@feddit.nl 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't this the plot of the predestination movie?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

With Heinlein, fantasizing.

The man who folded himself is a time travel story, too. Every time the guy travels to the same time, there's another one of him there, with bigger or smaller age differences. It gets pretty twisted in parts when he's living with his other selves.

Shit. Things with me would get a lotta weird.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Back in like the 70s starfish were taking over an area and the government paid fisherman to kill them.... They chopped them up and through em back in the water.

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 11 points 2 weeks ago

Same story in India where the British paid for copra snakes to be killed.

They bred them in order to get money

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 weeks ago

That starfish is a little shellfish.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Except this whole sequence takes place over 50 years
