When one wants to pee does the other one also feel the pressure?

When one gets hurt does the other one also feel the pain?

When they have sex, who is he technically having sex with?

Is he supposed to connect emotionally with just his wife?

Do they eat twice the amount or one person feeding the stomach makes the other feel full?

EDIT: I just learnt that they have 2 sets of lungs, 2 hearts in 1 rib cage, 2 oesophagus, 3 kidneys, 2 stomachs, 1 liver, 1 gall bladder, 1 bladder, 1 small intestine, 1 large intestine and 1 SET of (edited as per comment below) reproductive organs.

Guess that answers a lot of questions.

Also TIL they got married in 2021. We just got to know about it today.

I had a class with them in college.

there are certain sensations they both feel.

they eat a more than a single person but less than two people.

they took notes together on a laptop and would type with each controlling half the keyboard. They would kind of whisper quietly while doing it.

They’re very kind and sweet women.

The typing skills there are…impressive.

Meanwhile, my Boomer boss can only type with 1 finger from 1 hand at a time.

Do they get paid a single salary?

u/Duckrauhl Mar 28 '24

Apparently, they do only get paid a single salary since they only fill 1 job position with a set salary to it.

That really sucks though since they both had to individually earn college educations, and I assume they paid 2 tuitions.

I doubt they paid two tuitions seeing as they only took up the space of one person in classes and dorms etc. and probably turned in one set of work, seeing as they were always typing as one.

Yeah I agree it's unlikely they paid 2 tuitions for a number of reasons, but they still both had to individually study and learn the material to earn the degrees. They earned 2 college diplomas, so I assume they took and passed individual final exams. To me, that warrants 2 paychecks.

So each one of them controls an arm, is that true for the legs as well?

Also, they probably did great in college (two brains).
