- tshaddox 4y agoI mean, the pictures aren’t super clear, but I don’t know. When the qualities that are in common between the two people are themselves quite common and not particularly distinct, I’d hardly call them doppelgängers. Being in the same broad range of BMI and having roughly the same hair color and eyeglasses color isn’t really enough. Maybe the long dreadlocks are distinct enough to count. I suppose specific scenarios like being sat next to someone on an airplane also lowers the threshold of notability. The guys with light hair and a beard probably justifies a selfie, but I still wouldn’t use the term “doppelgänger.” To me a doppelgänger is someone who looks so much like you that if you caught a glimpse of them in a crowd you’d think “whoa, I can’t believe there’s someone out there who looks that much like me.”
- zeven7 4y agoGiven that the two monarchs that are the subject of this thread are very closely related, I don't get all the dismissals of this being a superficial likeness. They literally have extremely similar genetics. They should look similar. There aren't any gotchas.
- ajcp 4y agoYes, that is the joke. The fact that there is an internet meme that describes common traits of people that come across their "doppelganger" in the wild and these two related men exhibit them save for the glasses is the joke.
