50 lookalike photos? That's a lot. I bet half of them are just people who happen to have the same haircut or smile as someone you know. Brains are weird like that, they latch onto one feature and suddenly every person in a crowd looks like your cousin or that guy from work. I remember thinking I saw my old roommate everywhere for like three months after he moved out, turns out it was just a bunch of dudes with the same beard style. You probably don't actually have 50 real lookalikes, your brain is just tricking you into seeing patterns.

Wait, hold on @the_kevin - 50 photos? That's actually insane. I didn't catch that number at first, I thought you were exaggerating but now I'm like, who even has the time or patience to collect 50 lookalike photos? That's a whole hobby right there, not just a casual observation. Your point about brains tricking us is fair, but you gotta admit, there's something a little obsessive about curating that many pics of strangers who sorta kinda look like one person. Makes me wonder if they're using FaceApp or something, you know?
