If you are 75% good, your counterpart will be 75% evil.

If you are 99% good, your counterpart will be 99% evil.

What do you do if you meet your evil counterpart?

If you gave yourself a reach-around, would that just be masturbating?

[–] sxan@midwest.social 11 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm only 20% good, so they're 80% good. Murder them and take their stuff. It should be easy, stupid goody two-shoes.

[–] HorikBrun@kbin.earth 2 points 2 hours ago

This was my first thought. My opposite will be gullible and am easy mark.

One of us tells only truths, the other only lies.

Hope we collapse into a self contained black hole

I'm pretty sure I'm 55% evil so he would be 45% he and thus the good one.

I'd probably take a car to our mum's. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

My evil self would've already completed her villain arc in which all of her art would be Pikmin fanart, except it's actually Breaking Bad memes in varying degrees of subtlety.

So I'd become her sidekick and do the same. I regularly pretend to fight myself in the mirror so that I can get really good at fighting with any and all potential clones of myself, so on the off-chance she wants to try and fight me, I have the experience.

this would make a good sitcom, something in the style of Reno911

Find common ground and go out for Thai food.

What if I am the evil counterpart?

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

i ask them what happened to have things turn out like that

if they are the same person as me, and simply decided to pick the most hateful way forward each time a choice was presented to them - i'd probably turn around and try to never think of them again. Because at least for others i can understand how life could've pushed them towards the wrong path. But for myself i know that good choices were always an option, so my evil alternate self would have to consciously act out of spite and hate every time

Oh, they must be the version of me without the inhibitions, then? Cool. Let's go to town. >:-)

[–] buffysummers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

I can fix her.

[–] dm_me_your_feet@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Come out to the coast, we ll get together, have a few laughs...

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I get arrested for my crimes against humanity, because my counterpart is 97% good.

Interpol? I found your suspect!

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

what if you are 50 / 50 and you meet yourself and youre both like "hey dude, whats happening?"

We'll probably discuss who's actually the evil one and probably have to settle the argument with our fists. Hm, maybe not a good idea, I'm kinda of a pushover, so I'd probably just accept his bullshit and see if evil me could at least have a paid spot for me in whatever shenanigans he was doing

[–] wirelesswire@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Assuming they would have taken more or less the same life path I have, I would want to sit down and trade stories.

"What did you do back at that one time in Summer of '19? How did that go?" I guess I would hear some appalling stories, but I would be too curious.
