One if the ways i have judged people is by imagining how well they would get along with their own clone.

Its of course easy to talk hypothetically but i always felt we would quickly arrive at a mutual understanding that we must obtain an equilibrium at all costs.

I feel like we'd pause in deep thought for a moment, and then see which games we have are couch co-op, while niether of us clean the dishes.

Well I hate myself so I don't see that going well

Odd question but why does it have to be clone? What about a sibling or perhaps a twin? Or are those effectively equivalent too and I'm just splitting hairs?

Because they are not the same person so their needs, maturity and personality are different.

The person that made me come up with this is actually my sister (during a teenage phase). She would have hated if people used her own rhetoric against her.

Yeah, I myself feel like if I could do shadow cloning, Naruto style,(situational clones that stop existing once the task is done) I'd absolutely use it to tag team difficult tasks around the house. I have ADHD and take Adderall, though. Would my clone also be on Adderall, as well? We get shit done, then they all disappear, leaving the original, me.
