A Girl From My School And I. The More I Look, The Weirder It Gets
Wouldn't be the first time it's happened. Show the photo to your parents separately and watch their reactions closely.
We all have that one celebrity that everyone swears we look just like. “Have you seen [insert film]? You should dress up as [insert character] for Halloween!” And while this can be annoying, we have to admit that it’s a bit amusing to find someone who looks extremely similar to ourselves. We share a bond with these random strangers just by knowing that the world perceives us in the same way.
According to the BBC, there’s only a one in 135 chance that you have an exact doppelganger, but when it comes to someone who shares a striking resemblance to you, there’s a much better chance they’re out there. Especially if you’re someone who has an “average face,” meaning you have features that are common, you shouldn’t have a hard time finding your twin stranger.

My Family's Friend Is A Persian Replica Of Jeff Goldblum. They Finally Met
Are you sure that is not Jeff and his wax statue? Just a random thought..
Could not find any record of on him having vax statue though?
Load More Replies...They do look alike but if I ran into the guy on the right IRL, I don't think it would ever click that he looks like Jeff Goldblum. I need the example right next to him for this one.
She Is Nowhere Near As Thrilled As Her Father
Esta es la familia Madrigal. Hogar de mi gente, Madrigal, vamos allá. Honestly though, the resemeblance is uncanny.
For example, the BBC reports that one in ten people have round faces, and 55% of the world’s population has brown eyes. If you’re a man and you have a beard, that increases your chances of encountering a doppelganger as well, especially if you live in the UK, where most men have some form of facial hair. If you’re a guy with short hair, you also fall into the majority, making it easier to find a doppelganger.
But why are we so interested in finding our twin strangers anyway? Well, according to Francois Brunelle, who has photographed over 200 pairs of doppelgangers, “If you meet someone that looks like you, you have an instant bond because you share something.” It can be hard enough to strike up a conversation with a stranger nowadays, but looking alike is an excellent ice breaker!
Pretty Sure I Saw Robin Williams's Identical Twin While On Vacation In Germany
I would like to dream that his death was an elaborate final prank on all of us after which he went anonymous. And this is the real him, happy and healthy,living his best life.
My parents collect antique photos and there's one from the 1800's that looks exactly like Robin Williams in drag!
Met My Doppelganger
Didn't I see you singing Ten Years at Eurovision the other year??
10 Years Ago, I Went Off To College And People I Didn't Know Kept Coming Up To Me And Calling Me "Brian". My Name Is Josh. Then, A Few Weeks Later, I Met Brian, And We Took This Picture
I can see mistaking them when they aren't together, but side by side, I really only see resemblance in the hair. Their build is different, their facial features are different. Good looking dudes though.
Met mine in college too. I had long hair and he was bald. I was always asked why I had started wearing a wig and he was asked why he'd shaved his hair all off until we happened to sit next to each other in a lecture and everything finally made sense.
let me ask this, carlton and will? they look the same but one is short. har har har
But just because you look similar to a random person you encounter at a theme park or come across online doesn’t mean that you actually share any common DNA. “It is entirely possible for two people with similar facial features to have DNA that is no more similar than that of two random people,” Lavinia Paternoster, a geneticist at the University of Bristol, told the BBC. That shouldn’t deter you from seeking out your doppelganger if you want to though! Just don’t try to frame them as the suspect of a crime you committed if you left DNA at the scene.

I call BS on this one. Same stripy shirt underneath AND same type of tan, shopping bag? Plus, that's an interesting curve to the cane ..
I agree. Can see the faint patch on Pants I think too... and same hat etc.... this is photoshopped

I Found This Random Painting In A Thrift Store That Looks Unsettlingly Similar To Me
Srsly. Just tell everyone it's your grandfather or something (maybe it is?)!
Load More Replies...Could come up with a whole back story about how you came to be asked to sit for a painting.
About 30 years ago, my friend and her brother and I went on one of those Ghost tours, in Sydney at what was the Small Pox Hospital during the 1800's. In the children's room there was a painting hung above the fire place, it was her brother all over.
If you are interested in finding your very own twin stranger or strangers, we’re living in the perfect age to do so. With social media and the internet at our fingertips, we have access to billions of people we could have never met in previous generations. And lucky for us, Make Use Of has even shared some online tools that can help you find your doppelganger even faster than usual. One site you can try is actually called Twin Strangers, and it allows users to chat and plan meet-ups with their doppelgangers.

I have had this moment... two people that I always thought were the same person until I saw them TOGETHER. (However it turns out they're brothers so it's not a glitch.)
Yeh, I get some initial confusion... maybe, but they look pretty different.
Load More Replies...According to the site’s FAQs, users can upload a passport style image of themselves which will be compared to up to 2 million other users of the site. Your closest 100+ matches will then be dropped into your AI search folder for you to scroll through. If you and one of your potential doppelgangers both choose to connect, you’ll have access to one another’s emails and have the opportunity to video chat or even meet in real life.

Another tool Make Use Of recommends for finding your doppelganger is to use Google’s reverse image search option with a photo of yourself. Results might yield photos of other people who look strikingly similar, and you might have an image of your very own doppelganger in seconds. Of course, they might not be interested in connecting, especially if they’re not registered on any sites that are specifically for finding twin strangers. But at least you’ll know that you’re not the only “you” out there!

Load More Replies...Not everyone believes that finding a doppelganger is a good thing, though. While some might be overjoyed to find a twin and others might believe that the existence of them proves we’re living in a simulation, others actually consider them to be frightening. According to Bustle, doppelgangers have long been seen as a bad omen, as they have been seen as an evil twin rather than an innocuous one.

Doppelgangers have also been seen as an omen of death in some cultures. German folklore says that seeing your twin, especially more than once, means that your time is running out. And apparently, Abraham Lincoln saw two faces in the mirror on the night of his first election, which his wife Mary believed meant that he would fall ill or die during his second term. Sure enough, she was right.

Two Random, Yet Almost Identical, Boomers
And why use the derogatory "boomer" to describe them? (Yes, it is now a derogatory term. It no longer just means "baby boomer generation".)
Why derogatory? It simply defines person as being born during baby boom after WW2. It has absolutely no bad connotations for me. Maybe for native english speakers it is different, but for me it is just a word. In fact, as I am big fan of thriller-action books (like the ones by Tom Clancy) "boomer" for me was a nuclear strike submarine first, and only later I learnt that it is also a generational term. For me, english is just another language I was learning (fourth in fact after my native polish, russian and german), and I have no problem with many words and terms which are offending to some native speakers. They are just that - words. What we see in them beside their neutral meaning is highly dependand of culture, history and upbringing.
Load More Replies...The people who've used "millenial" as an insult for decades getting mad over people using "boomer" to describe older people is hilariously hypocritical.
i am a boomer....76 yrs. old and i just feel old! thats all, its just a way to define generations- stop getting offended over silly things! save your outrage for really shi**y things! i dont need to tell you what they are.....we are living with them in the U.S.A......try to make really horrid things a thing of the past....peace ♥️

Well, depends on how you look at it. I didn’t think twice about it at first. But then I started hearing/reading some really crappy comments directed at “boomers” that I just don’t see at all. We have always been a lot more progressive than many generations before us and really opened up a lot of good ideas, many of which should be celebrated.

As The Saying Goes "There Are Seven People In This World Who Look Like You"
I never really believed much until 2 years ago, someone happened to send me this picture, and honestly, my heart skipped a beat (guess that’s what happens when you find your doppelgänger for real). She’s Rutu from Ahmedabad, and we contacted her two years ago via social media. We stayed in touch and hoped to meet one day. And guess what sheer coincidence again? Rutu was visiting her maasi in Ahmedabad the same day I was there. We scheduled our meeting, and to my surprise, she looked exactly like me. Her smile, her build, her nature. FYI, our birthdays fall on May 5th and May 6th, respectively. I just found 1 out of 7 of my doppelgangers; this feels so surreal.
My brother's ex-wife looked an awful lot like the taller girl - though she'd be closer to 60 now.

(Or y'know, being adopted, she just has a bunch of half-siblings/cousins that she's unaware of, but I like my explanation better)
An interesting thought experiment implies how likely it is we actually do live in the matrix. Think about it... Eventually we'll figure out how to upload ourselves into a computer. Then we'll make virtual realities (VRs) to live in. Network us and our VRs and there's the matrix. Now, if we can do it once, we can do it twice, hundreds or thousands of times. Eventually, we'll do the same *inside* those VRs. So there could be millions of VRs people - we - live in. But there's only *one* *real* world. So the odds of us living in the real world are very, very tiny. Hence, it's very likely we *do* live in the matrix. Now if I can just figure out how to fly like Neo...
Yes, I remember that one. There are a few problems with it however, one being that if we are living in a simulation, at one point or another there would be a glitch, which as far as we can tell hasn't happened yet. We also simply don't know if we could create a lifelike simulation that could be fully immersive, so I would say that we can only know the true odds of us living in a simulation when/if we manage to make one.
