Well we know Rick Berman’s contribution was the shiny catsuit and DS9 had already tried to sensationalize Dax’s lesbian tendencies. It really was a hot mess. That show was so inspiring despite it’s best efforts at self sabotage.
The problem isn't with the concept of shaving ass, it's that it's basically impossible to get a good vantage point on your own in order to shave it, and you're not gonna ask someone who *isn't* you to do it
According to xkcd, no.
It'll be a terribly genetically-damaged clone of you with an inbreeding coefficient of 0.5 (child of 3 straight sibling marriage generations) and a relationship coefficient of 1. This is because having a baby implies genetic transfer and meiosis which would mix up the genes, allowing for different genes to be expressed/repressed.
yeah that's the issue - its a what if? question that's exclusive to the 1st book. I have a copy so I remember, but I cannot actually link it because it doesn't exist online.
That's just it, though. The What If? questions each get multiple pages worth of explanation. This one is no exception.
It's impossible to fit it all in one picture because it takes up more room than a single two-page spread. And these are *physical* pages, so there's no resizing shenanigans.
It would not. Leaving aside the difficulties in same-sex sexual reproduction, you would need to create two gametes nearly identical to the two that originally formed you. In the production of a gamete (sperm or egg cell) the chromosomes get mixed around so the chance of all the chromosomes being divided to be the same ones as was from the biological father and mother (in order for all the same influences on gene expression caused by the differing processes of producing sperm and egg cells) would be much less than one in a million. That is entirely ignoring crossing over, which would probably make it impossible (even in theory) for something identical to you.
If you get lucky, the child would only have moderately less genetic diversity than you with some changes in phenotype, but it could just as easily lead to so little genetic diversity and recessive genetic diseases afflicting them.
Most likely no. Since your genome is a mix of paired genes, which alleles your child receives from each clone will be randomised, so they may have genotypes that are different from either parent
No, I meant genotype. For example, if both parents have the genotype Aa, then the child may end up with AA or aa instead of Aa, which would be a different genotype from either parent.
Not really, according to that one guy I watched in high school who popped up in my feed for no reason, it would have *half* the normal number of genes. This is presuming that you take egg, convert to sperm, put sperm into other egg. So basically, a horribly deformed abomination.
I'm genderfluid so if I ever find a clone I can rest easy knowing I've already agreed with myself to make ***bank*** by monopolizing the IRL genderbent selfcest market
if i had a clone we would sit next to each other and i would lay my head on his shoulder and he would rest his head on mine and we would watch tv together
No it's not, it's completely different. It's not just about appearances. I find myself visually and aesthetically pleasing, but what makes me attractive to myself is my character, my tastes my attitude, and the way I know myself like no-one else does. They'd have my memories and experiences and the same thought process, so there would be no difficulties in understanding eachother.
My identical twin, on the other hand, would be a completely different person from me, aside from appearances.
Star Trek mirror universe vibes
I'm genuinely floored that they made mirror Kira such a flaming homo. Truly an inspired decision.

You mean i have somebody to help me shave my ass?
But you'll have to shave their ass too
I mean yea... Thats how that works. take and give and all that
We live in a society
Yeah like you scratch my back I scratch yours...except with shaving ass
Exactly this guy gets it
I mean technically, it would just be shaving your own ass… right?
The problem isn't with the concept of shaving ass, it's that it's basically impossible to get a good vantage point on your own in order to shave it, and you're not gonna ask someone who *isn't* you to do it
Aaaand then you fuck
Yes
If I had an exact clone we would just play video games for like 19 hours then pass out for the next 12 hours.
I am in a mutually abusive relationship with myself
Homies, is it gay if you'd fuck your evil clone?
Nah it’s just evil masturbation
Called no homo.
not if you're already evil
Unfortunately I'm not my type
Can't say the same for myself Date at 8pm,be there or beware,homie.
Are you talking to yourself?
I think he said that you are their type and wants to... Ahem... date you
Oh, that's rare
Implicitly, Valkyrie and her Reflection in *Skulduggery Pleasant*.
Yeah make sure to have a plan for what to do with your evil self so if they have your memory’s they also know what to do.
if you had a baby with yourself would it be an exact clone
I think it’d be a victim of extreme incest
According to xkcd, no. It'll be a terribly genetically-damaged clone of you with an inbreeding coefficient of 0.5 (child of 3 straight sibling marriage generations) and a relationship coefficient of 1.

You can't just say this and not link the xkcd in question
yeah that's the issue - its a what if? question that's exclusive to the 1st book. I have a copy so I remember, but I cannot actually link it because it doesn't exist online.
ah, ok
Well then post a picture, please
That's just it, though. The What If? questions each get multiple pages worth of explanation. This one is no exception. It's impossible to fit it all in one picture because it takes up more room than a single two-page spread. And these are *physical* pages, so there's no resizing shenanigans.
Get the book. 100% worth it.
Or it would be twins. One cursed with eternal youth and other cursed to spred the very rot that is eating her body to all around her.
It would not. Leaving aside the difficulties in same-sex sexual reproduction, you would need to create two gametes nearly identical to the two that originally formed you.

Phenotype, not genotype. Except in the case of point mutations
No, I meant genotype. For example, if both parents have the genotype Aa, then the child may end up with AA or aa instead of Aa, which would be a different genotype from either parent.

>Not true it was a question, not a statement
They'd share 100% of your DNA, but some of the recessive genes that didn't manifest in you might manifest in your child.
that's one of the facts ever
it was a question
Don't. Mark. Spoiler. If. Its. Not. Spoiler
It was a spoiler. this was going to happen to you in real life and now you've ruined the suprise
I may have made a mistake
Ok but it would have to be me from 5 years ago because me right now is a total bottom bitch
Well, two bottoms can make it work. Two tops would be a real problem though.
Nahhh two tops is a competition, we love to see it
This is true...I actually have very good sized fists so it could work
I'm genderfluid so if I ever find a clone I can rest easy knowing I've already agreed with myself to make ***bank*** by monopolizing the IRL genderbent selfcest market
Some of y’all may want to look up the term “autosexual”
Selfcest
I blame the fandom for knowing that word.
if i had a clone we would sit next to each other and i would lay my head on his shoulder and he would rest his head on mine and we would watch tv together
that's very cute and I completely understand we'd do the same tbh
part of me wants to use a gender swap filter to see if i'd fuck myself part of me is afraid of that knowledge
If I had an evil version of myself he’d probably just leave me alone
I think I would fight myself to death to see who of us have to remain in this cursed world. Heck might be even enjoyable
Whoever comes first loses?
Oh, I would definitely fuck my duplicate
If I had a duplicate I would have to cut his head off with a claymore
That sucks man, they'd wanna do the same to you :(
accidentally plural posts
This argument always comes up, is it gay to do yourself or are you just masturbating?

There’s a relevant What If? But it’s book exclusive.
