Except this whole sequence takes place over 50 years

Back in like the 70s starfish were taking over an area and the government paid fisherman to kill them.... They chopped them up and through em back in the water.

Same story in India where the British paid for copra snakes to be killed.

They bred them in order to get money

I'd get drunk with a clone of myself but things might get a little weird.

[–] attinio@feddit.it 10 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

But is doing "things" with your clone incest or masturbation?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know how the hell you all need to label it, but it was the best sex I've ever had.

[–] attinio@feddit.it 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

In any case, it was 100% gay.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

How can it be gay if we're both straight? It'd be (straight x 2). So double straight. Read it and weep!

I've been drunk with my clone, we just wind up playing Untitled Goose Game together.

Can you imagine how in sync you'd be with your clone for co-op games?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

We are not in sync in the slightest lmfao. We get bickery over what we're suppose to do in the various games. It's why the farming games are better, we just divide what we want to do, ie - Twin goes and does farming, I go fish, twin goes into the mines, I deal with animals, etc etc.

I bet he'd like to play Rocket League during sex. And he'd never utter the words "I'm tired of pizza" like yet another heartless monster I have to abandon.

You should read "The Man Who Folded Himself."

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

there's a heinlein novel where the main character travels through time, has a sex change, travels back through time, marries themself, then the older version of the character gives birth to the original incarnation of the character.

I'm not sure whether this was heinlein decrying a potential future or fantasizing, to be honest

[–] Lemmypy@feddit.nl 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't this the plot of the predestination movie?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 6 points 13 hours ago

With Heinlein, fantasizing.

The man who folded himself is a time travel story, too. Every time the guy travels to the same time, there's another one of him there, with bigger or smaller age differences. It gets pretty twisted in parts when he's living with his other selves.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Shit. Things with me would get a lotta weird.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

So many smooches.

That starfish is a little shellfish.
