I mean, are these not doppelgangers?

  I 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.”
