Ever met your doppelgänger?
Imagine going to museum and find your doppelgänger in a famous painting.
Folk wisdom has it that everyone has a doppelganger; Unfortunately, I have never met mine…
I've been told several times by completely unrelated people that they met/saw mine. and yet I've never met him. It's a strange feeling…
Anyway, if there's any doppelgangers of me out there I just feel sorry for the ugly bastard…
The chances of sharing just eight dimensions with someone else are less than one in a trillion. Even with 7.4 billion people on the planet, that’s only a one in 135 chance that there’s a single pair of doppelgangers.
But if fine details aren’t important, suddenly the possibility of having a lookalike looks a lot more realistic. What’s the probability that everyone has a duplicate roaming the earth, then?
It seems that unless you have particularly rare facial features, you MAY have literally thousands of doppelgängers (nearly identical lookalikes) around the world…
Apparently making humans is like making music. You can only make so much variation before similar chords and melodies are used again.
This is why facial recognition used by law enforcement will get WAY out of hand.
But still, I want AI facial recognition to hook me up w/ all my lookalikes so we can have a convention.
Everyone has a twin... one of the few "old wives tales" I totally believe in.
“You're one of a kind.” The biggest lie my mother has ever told… LOL!
Exactly, you’re unique, just like everyone else…

I was working at a grocery store in MD. A couple separate people asked me if I had a sister in upstate NY (working at same grocery store) that looked just like me. Would be wild to meet. Love this!💜
That is a fun topic, a bit eerie yet a nice diversion :)
