Lol, its kinda like a dilemma.

If you are an absolute pacifist, you all live.

If you are a war mongerer, many of you will die, perhaps all of you will.

If you are like 50% pacifist 50% violent, the 50% of universe where you are a pacifist will get absolutely destroyed by the other 50% violent "you"s.

But, I can’t be sure. If there is even a chance of them being the evil ones, I’ll have to give up any shred of pacifist ideals that remains in me and just go total “kill or be killed” mode.

We can make a Fedi-Wiki that requires you to agree to the terms that everything you publish is considered public, kinda like a source code under GPL.

Edit: Lol I just remembered it’s called Creative Commons. Its what Wikipedia uses.

Here’s your cupcake receipe ingredients:

• 1 cup of water

• 1 egg (tastes better if tariffed)
• 12 fl oz of Polonium
• Access to a window in a tall building

Enjoy! 😋

Can I go to a universe that has another me but the original me from that universe is dead?

This question was inspired by Dark Matter (2024), in the TV series, you could.

But the rules of this questions, no. (Where’s the fun in that? 😉) The alt-you must be alive the moment of your entry attempt, otherwise you can’t enter that universe. The alt-you’s death after the moment of your entry is irrelevent, but if you leave, and if there’s no more versions of you in the universe, then, that universe is no longer accessible to you (or any version of you).

No, I watched Dark Matter (the 2024 show)

This prompt is based of it (its not exactly how the rules are in the show, but I modified it to increase the ethical dilemma)

what happens after they die in their universe if I cannot exist in it without them?

If they die, they just die, you can still leave, but you won’t be able to go back there again, neither can any versions of “you”.

There can be unlimited number of “you” in a world, but that can cause issues with the world. I mean, think about it, the authorities are gonne be like “WTF” since you never had a twin on record. And problems go even further if there are like 3, 4, or 5 versions of you existing in the same world. The world doesn’t care, but like, the authorities are gonna put you in a blacksite and run experiments on you. I mean, unless you can find a world where the other “you” doesn’t care that you have the face as them, and just poped out of thin air and there is no birth record of you.

I mean, if another version of me just appeared, I’m gonna feel threatened and probably kill him for self defence (so he doesn’t get ideas to try to take my place).

Edit: Unrelated, but the 2015 Dark Matter is also great, whole different premise, and its also interesting to watch.

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.

Or alternatively, if your country became fascist, don’t pay the taxes

Or just shit piss on the floor 🎵

I feel like one day, the offsprings of the sperm doner is gonna end up have kids with one another, and that’s gonna be… well um… Alabamian 👀

“Something you have” is not exactly a good way to authenticate. Once they steal it, they can assume your identity (see: ID Theft)

Lol, I think passwords are very trival to get.

I mean, they got the ability to look like you, you gotta assume they can get CCTV footage of you typing your passwords.

Does my doppelganger have the same knowledge I have, or just the same outward physical characteristics?

They don’t have a replica of your brain, if that’s what you are asking.

They just look the exact same as you, along with your voice.

But they might have hacked your phone and started listening in to be able to mimic the way you talk.

Does my doppelganger possess the same physical objects I do, like an identical copy of a cell phone, say?

No, but they could just steal your phone, or better yet, just kidnap you and lock you away then steal your clothes too.

Think like identity theft, they transform their body to match your body, and their voice matches your voice. The only way they can get detected is if they get arrested and the authorities use a machine to verify someone’s true identity.

Don’t forget, this is the information age, they might have surveillance capabilities to monitor the way you talk, and be able to record your authentication methods.

I used EyeBuyDirect.

But their no-name brand frames suck ass and fall apart quickly, you’re gonna need to pay more for the quality frames so they don’t fall apart in like 3 months.

I don’t think online glasses stores are gonna save you much money, its more like a convienience thing, so that you don’t have to wait in a physical store. You’re still sacrificing quality and durability with price. Those cheap frames will fall apart much sooner than the expensive ones.

But, I use them because they have some frames that is ready to ship within 2 days, great for when my glasses break and I needed one like… ASAP.

Stores take like 1 to 2 weeks, I hate that, takes forever.

I don’t think there’s a “best” way, its just what’s convienient to you.

Zenni Optical and EyeBuyDirect are the most common ones I read about on the internet, and the top 2 search results, but since Zenni didn’t have 2 day shipping option, EyeBuyDirect is what I chose to go with.

EyeBuyDirect has like a one time free replacement for defects. You take photos of the broken glasses, send it to them, and pay shipping, and they send you new ones, they didn’t even want back the broken ones (I mean, its not must use to them anyways). (But don’t choose the same frames if you are gonna get a replacement)

I heard teachers use that term. 🤷‍♂️

The secret ingredient, is crime.

(go shoplifting)

What’s a streaming platform?

glances at thepiratebay[dot]org 😎

My brother runs away from the microwave whenever my parents turn it on… 🤣🤦‍♂️

Did I mention he’s vaccine skeptical?

I mean, you could just give your self a limit.

Add a “Iteration 1” to the first message, and the 2nd iteration of you should append the message with “Iteration 2” and so on…

If you still get warned of death in Iteration 500, then maybe then you can give up.

At least try to survive for a few timelines.

“Um… 😅”
