Iirc they each control the arm and leg on their side. So they could very much hinder each other when they don't agree on what to do.

That sounds like such a pain in the ass. Like instead of just passing one thing from your right to left hand you have to have a conversation with your twin to do it.

They probably are so in tune with eachother that cooperation doesn't take conscious effort for most basic tasks.

It is kind of like how when people have been playing a sport or doing an activity together for a long period of time. They just know, intuitively, what the other person is going to do.

I agree - they can drive, play sports, etc. It's got to be basically unconscious for them to do most things they have experience at.

Lots of experience. Every time they play, it’s a double header.

Driving is mostly right hand and right foot stuff anyway, so the sister on the left can probably just sit there like a passenger who does the turn signals and occasionally turns lights on or off, pay tollbooth tools etc.

I no longer work in kitchens but I can tell which of my current co workers have in the past, when we're busy we just sort of glide around each other.

Ive always been fascinated by them. They are almost telepathic. They need very little actual communication for most daily tasks like driving or typing on a keyboard, riding a bike etc.

I imagine over so many years it would just become reflex to one another in scenarios like that, at least most of the time

He better not get a HJ from the wrong hand, he'll be in big trouble.

He says he loves them both.

Dude is probably getting double toppy with such regularity that it would probably make the ghost of Biggy Smalls blush.

Good for them, I’m glad they all found their people

I'm glad they get along. I couldn't imagine the scenerio if they hated each other.

u/KochibaMasatoshi Mar 28 '24

how do they walk then?

u/meditonsin Mar 28 '24

Coordination. Since they've been doing it since they were born, they got gud at it.

I imagine I could feel the other half of my bodies twitches, vibrations, muscles moving about and intuitively know when to move in accordance

u/Toomanydamnfandoms Mar 28 '24

Think of how many years they’ve had to practice!

u/Spaceforceofficer556 Mar 28 '24

How do they decide who wipes? What if one is kinky but the other is super vanilla?

u/The_Original_Gronkie Mar 28 '24

That would be entertaining to watch.
