Question of the Day: January 21, 2019

questionoftheday asks: How do you think you would get along with clones of yourself? Would your clones be able to get along with each other?

My answer:

Pedantic answer: I know my parents wanted more kids, but I think one sibling is probably enough for me. The exact answer depends on how much younger the twin is, since "clone" tends to indicate that your twin is significantly younger than you (rather than gestating alongside you).

Colloquial answer: I feel like I would probably get along pretty well with my forks, though if they're, like, Opia levels of accuracy we're going to have to spend some time diverging first in order to get anything done.

I'm not sure why "clones getting along with each other" would have a different answer from "getting along with your clones". Are we not equals?
