As many as my finances can comfortably support

Assume a clone is free. You could take turns with a clone sleeping in your bed, or the couch, or the floor, or at your partner's, or crashing with a friend.

In that case then I’d start with one. Have them go to my job. And see how well they do at the job. Then get another one and have them do another job at a different site. Once I’m pulling in $200,000/year. I’d start traveling and see the world.

Since they are free. Then they don’t need food or water. Just need the heat for the house. Also need the electricity. As for clothing. Other then work clothes they can wear tshirts and jeans.

When I said "free" I meant you don't pay to have one, but you still need to feed and house them, as you would yourself.

Having two for work and one (yourself) for travel seems like a good balance though.

The clone doesn't have to eat?

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

yes it does, it's essentially you

Food expenses 💸

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Ah. Right, good point. Still, a bag of rice a day?

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

You would give yourself a bag of rice a day? I mean, I hate myself and I’d still feed it well 😳
