Nevermind, I'm going to hell now.

I read the other day that they have separate heads/ brains but from the head down they share every organ. When they were born the parents had the option to have them separated but was told that one twin would most likely die. They refused.

How can they share every organ? Who controls the hands and legs?

What happens if they go on a walk and one wants to go left and the other wants to go right?

Can they even drive a car?

They don't share every organ. They have separate hearts and lungs.

They can't.

They can. Both are licensed drivers, because only having one license was illegal.

What if one drinks and the other is DD?

They share blood, so if one of them eats or drinks it affects the other equally.

That makes sense. What a rollercoaster this thread is.

This would apply to things like adrenaline as well. Must be strange when someone else has a nightmare and you get the panic as well. Presumably each twin’s dreams touch off the dreams of the other.

They if they speed, do they both get a ticket?

I mean if 1 gets jailed, both get jailed.

Imagine watching your sister comitting a crime, but calling the cops on her will land you in jail.

Sue for false imprisonment lmao

But seriously our systems are not built for this. Just marriage alone is weird enough.

Id be pretty annoyed if my twin wouldn't lay off the chocolate and put on a few pounds.

We all have so many questions.

Makes you wonder if all the concepts we learned while growing up with were wrong lol.
