If I pass out and wake up twinned, we have a chick fight because each of us believes we're the real me.
If we were twenty years younger, we might go off and find our husband for a threesome, but candidly we're not that fond of our body right now. (My GOD, woman! Don't you EVER say "no" to a cookie?)

I suspect that it would be kind of like twins. If I were to be cloned right now, one of me would be the original. (I'd probably do something stupid like write O on my hand or something.) Anyhoo, at that point, the clone would begin to be its own person. However, it would be the same person to everyone but the orginial. if that makes any sense.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my twinning scenario, we both start seeking guidance from "random" input that only one of us (probably due to physical position) has access to. Need to differentiate ASAP.
I don't win, though. This particular me needs to hop from place to place somehow. Or achieve mass sentience between the clones.
That'd be hot.

So after your body goes splat at the bottom of the canyon, the park rangers retrieve your hard drive and put it into a new body, assuming you're rich enough to afford one.
Well, you can get backed up for free, but then your thoughts get interrupted by annoying pop-thought ads.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, crap, Sophia. House-ma galore to you. I know you've been really happy in that place, too. Dammit. If I lived in NY, I'd totally take a day off work to drive up and help you, which is just a completely useless thing to say what with the thousands of miles between us, but I would.
And what a crapweasel, telling your old landlady they'd be good to you and then crapweaseling on you. Asshats.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And this differs from current reality ooh!shiny!!! how?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
A friend of mine was Darth Brooks for a con masquerade a few years back.

The pop-thought ads are totally involuntary and go right to the speech center. Eventually your friends and family get tired of the ads. "No! For the last time, I don't want to punch the monkey!!"
