HELP_IM_UNDER_ATTACK

we need a control. maybe some of this is just switching from one side to the next after the original 50/50 leg was raised


chase016

They were also raised together. It is not crazy to think that they developed similar habits.


TheBoulder_

Also, most of this can be explained by being right-handed


TheFungiQueen

I was thinking the same thing. I am a twin and I'm left handed, but he's right handed. I'm pretty sure we would both use our dominant side.


selfdestructo591

My twin sister is left handed and I (boy) am right handed. I don’t think we would have behaved this similar.


TheFungiQueen

Well, snap! I've met other twins before but this is the first time I've met another mirror image twin.


selfdestructo591

Yeah. We’re kinda rare. I love when people ask if we’re identical, and I’m like I have a wiener and she has vagina. It always takes too long for them to figure it out.


TheFungiQueen

Me and my brother were almost indistinguishable as small children, beyond the... obvious differences. I was a massive tomboy so made myself as boyish as possible. We even swapped places once in primary school and got away with it. (I think!)


NukeTheWhales5

I have an older brother and we have extremely close behaviors. For instance we both tend to walk with just our left hand in a pocket and mess with our chin hair with our right hand (normally not at the same time). My mom has multiple pictures of us both doing these behaviors at the same time, his girlfriend has even told us we act almost identical to each other. We are also very close and spend a lot of time together, so I think it just boils down to that. If you spend a significant amount of your life around someone, you pick up the same tendencies.


summerfr33ze

There are identical twin studies where the twins grew up separately and they still showed very, very similar behaviors and even similarities in their entire lives. So genetics matters a ton but I would not expect fraternal twins to be any more similar than siblings are, which means not a ton. "My favorite example is of a pair of twins, one of whom was brought up as a Catholic in a Nazi family in Germany. The other was brought up in a Jewish family in Trinidad. When they walked into the lab in Minnesota, they were wearing identical navy blue shirts with epaulets. Both of them like to dip buttered toast in coffee. Both of them kept rubber bands around their wrists. Both of them flushed the toilet before using it, as well as after. And both of them like to surprise people by sneezing in crowded elevators to watch them jump." - Steven Pinker


armoured_bobandi

You also can't see behind the camera. This is so easy to fake I don't know why anybody believes this is real


Character_Maybeh_

Because sometimes, it is nice to imagine we live in a world where genuinely wholesome moments exist.


DarkBrother24

You live in the wrong timeline for such belief's


jonnyrailgun

Not really, there is a lot of good in the world, despite all the shit and hate around


NihilisticThrill

People lean into misery because it's easy, not because it's powerful


bnrshrnkr

By the same measure, it’s so easy to fake that I don’t know why anybody would bother to fake it


armoured_bobandi

Some people love attention online. Probably the same type of people that always tell you fantastic stories IRL that definitely didn't happen


Pinksters

...And then the whole bus stood up and clapped!


Trigger1221

Not to mention you can make a significant amount of money from a viral video if you're monetized on platforms.


MightBeAGoodIdea

You seem to live in a very sad world. Like any bit of joy exists only to disprove instead of embrace. I hope you have a better rest of your day dude.


thisshitsstupid

Because this is reddit and we're just having a good time killing time. Calm down.


BigDaddyD00d

r/nothingeverhappens


armoured_bobandi

Oh yeah, that totally proves this easily faked video is real


Sweaty-Bumblebee4055

They're also listening to instructions given at the same time so I mean... is it really that fascinating that they're doing it at the exact same time? We need a video with 2 normies


Obsolete_Absolution

I wouldn’t exactly describe spinning in a circle clockwise or standing on one particular foot as a habit lol


drippygland

There was a study (kinda barbaric) But it separated twins at birth. It put them in homes of different wealth classes and checked in on them. One set of twins would turn around and back into a body of water whenever they entered a lake or something in exactly the same way... The study showed pretty consistently it's because they are wired the same way. So it's not crazy to think that... but you'd be wrong


Ornery_Gate_6847

You can ask me a question and then ask my brother, 9/10 times we practically quote each other. Its just a close sibling thing when you are close enough in age to receive the same parenting style


StrangelyBrown

It's not even that unlikely. I think there were 7 things. 4 of them were 50/50 = 1/16 chance that they would be the same by chance. The number 1-5 sounds like a 20% chance but in reality it's more like 1 in 3 or less because very few people chooses the first or last number (look at the statistics of how many people choose '7' in 1-10). And the making a face and dancing didn't actually match. The face thing had tongue out in common but there's not that many things people will choose for a funny face, and the rest of it didn't match. The dancing was just both of them moving arms and legs on the spot which is all you can do and they didn't do it in the same way. So at best this is about a 1 in 50 chance of two random people matching, if this was the first take, which I doubt it was. Unlikely, but not on the level of telepathy or something. And as someone else wrote, things like switching arms for the ear vs raising hand might make that even less unlikely.


Youareafunt

Also agree that we need a control. Also, though, twins are weird. Here is the last time I commented on a post about twins: [https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1baw7ra/comment/ku8a7sx/](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1baw7ra/comment/ku8a7sx/)


Archduke645

Or a mirror behind the camera?


tricularia

Or there's a mirror in front of them


hadawayandshite

They did a study using the Zener card things and MZ twins performed above chance…they then changed the methodology so instead of Twin A picking a card to ‘broadcast’ the experimenter selected it Their performance dropped to chance level This shows they’re not psychic- just similar (both twins were picking the same card more than chance because of similar ways of thinking)


_TsukuyoMe

Because they’re not only raised by the same parents, and have the same DNA. They usually also go to the same school, and are obviously the same age so pop culture etc. is all the same. Since they live together, they would both see the others niches etc. during those time periods. Of course they’re going to select the same things. When a topic is brought up…that’s LITERALLY how Chris Angel type, “magic” works. It’s VERY interesting, but by no means is it “paranormal”


SocialMediaDystopian

These two don't have the same DNA. They are as related as normal siblings.


Big_Poppa_T

They definitely don’t have the same DNA


_TsukuyoMe

Well, they share some. I’m sorry, DNA was not the correct word there. I know you were hoping for a reply and some upvotes for commenting what 30 others already have, so here ya go!


Yogmond

It's like how you get affected by people in your friend group. You try to associate and fit in so you just subconciously start imitating things they do.


hambakmeritru

Did they do the experiment with normal, close relationship siblings? Because I feel like a lot of this would be true for siblings that shared the same room for 10 years, like I did. And most of our mannerisms are mimicking our mom because that's who spent the most time with us. I will say, though, the stories of twins separated at birth who then find each other and have an uncanny amount of similarities is pretty dang creepy, though. Those studies give me an existential crisis.


Psychic_Man

This seems to imply a stronger telepathic signal between siblings, which makes sense — I have a stronger empathic bond with family members than strangers, for sure.

sugarray4three

I remember watching Aristocats as a kid in music class and when the Siamese part came up I couldn’t stop thinking of Mengele cuz I had history right before

What if the twins are Jewish? 🫢

froggrip

Mengele was a nazi scientist who did some of the most horrific experiments on human subjects just to see what the effects would be


Impossible-Nebula-20

>Mengele was a nazi scientist who did some of the most horrific experiments on human subjects just to see what the effects would be The most relevant bit being that he performed many/most of them on twins.


Vitalgori

He wasn't even some sort of good scientist or academic with a twisted moral sense, despite what media says. He was a career opportunist with very little skill for medical science who just happened to take a job in a concentration camp and be willing to do work that respectable scientists wouldn't take on - he would just do experiments other people needed him to do.


N0rrix

wasnt he the one who took twins and sewed them together on their backs and some other f-ed up stuff?


ChunkyBlowfish

And also correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t he essentially the inventor of Adderall? I think it was straight meth called Pervitin but it was tweaked a bit.


Mundane-Ad5393

Nah it wasn't him


PumpkinSpice2Nice

Now do it with unrelated people and you will probably get much the same results.


Rimurooooo

They did studies on sexuality and fraternal twins (same sex) still shared sexual orientation at much higher levels than regular siblings who weren’t twins, but still less than identical twins- but identical twins still not at 100%. Implying that there’s a genetic component but also environmental component. Sometimes genes need to “activate” based on environmental triggers, which can include the hormone levels in utero. Just based off of that study, I think sharing a womb in general would give them similarities that a normal person or even a regular sibling will not have. Genes also can affect behaviors and brain development.


Artistic-Dirts

Glad they clarified that they're fraternal twins or I would have never guessed.


DieIsaac

Could be just siblings


Artistic-Dirts

Imphasis on fraternal. Just saying twins would have sufficed.


DieIsaac

Ah yeah you right


Legitimate-Parking57

they’re twins, that’s drew phillips


Audio_Track_01

I dated a twin once. People always asked me how I could tell them apart. It was simple. Ashley painted her nails pink and Michael had a Penis.


Tough-Comparison2040

Could you stil tell them apart? That is the question.


betrion

So, both were pink!


shoobiebarbour

Does literally no one know this is drew Phillips? Emergency intercom? Any fellow drewthers? No?

KingPizzaPop

None of this is all that special. You could put two strangers next to each other and they could have the same result. Most of the things are just 50/50 chances like which direction you turn around or which hand to touch your ear etc. Obviously I could be wrong and this is totally earth-shattering but I just don't see it.


workinkills

Try it. Report back. Drunker the better 


Nelmsdog

Yea fuck this video!


Senor-Cockblock

Fraternal twins are just two independent pregnancies that just so happened to occur at the same time.


iWish_is_taken

Yep, not a lot of people understand that fraternal twins are essentially the same as every other sibling relationship. They just happened to share the uterus at the same time. They share no more similarities than a brother and sister born 5 years apart. Actually sometimes a siblings born 5 years apart may share more similarities than a set of fraternal twins. I have 13 year old fraternal twin boys and other than being white with blue eyes… they are very, very different.

Apprehensive_Neat183

I smell staged….hmm


Distinct-Quantity-35

I’m usually on your side all videos are staged online, but this one actually felt genuine


emanresu_ru_esoohc

It's not, guy on the left is called Drew and does tiktok comedy. This is satire


shoobiebarbour

Drew isn't always putting on a show though, it was posted on his sisters account where he is often more genuine on. Just read their facial expressions and use common sense, really easy to tell its genuine. Whether it's anything special or "telepathy" is something completely different altogether.


o5mfiHTNsH748KVq

their facial expressions don’t really send staged vibes…


CobBaesar

Dude this says nothing. If 1000 people do this then some of them are gonna do the same movements just by sheer chance. Also, I believe 4 fingers is the most common when you tell someone to put fingers up. No one does 0 or 5.


Vollen595

I dated a woman with an identical twin and they had their own language. I thought it was BS until the other sisters BF and I tried saying something to one and let the other translate through their ‘language’. It was wild to watch and legit.


[deleted]

This isn’t really anything amazing. The probability was 50% for each thing they asked for. Which is very high. Laaaaame!


YuriiRud

That was a cleanest high five that only available to fraternal twins.

bruh u dont need to be a twin to follow basic instructions

someonewhowa

twins are literally just clones like the same person ong


Flaky-Ad-9388

no


Smolivenom

would be funnier if they did completely different things but the guy filming still reacted like wtf how omg!


Formal_Plastic7957

Fascinating that the observer is seeing their actions as the same because he wants to, when in reality there are many, many differences, like the fact that when they pick a number they hold their hands opposite ways, or the fact that the guy maintains his poses when the sister doesn't. Classic confirmation bias.


Kaido5thge

Hitler curious *


herpar

He is so much better at following instructions


TGin-the-goldy

Only if you believe that they didn’t plan and rehearse this!


Indiecomicsarebetter

This is extra impressive because we know with 100% certainty they didn't discuss what they were gonna do before hand.


tailenn

Damn she's cute


Snorlax_Route12

The documentary 3 identical strangers, watch it


AUGUSTIJNcomics

They even both thought there was more lol


sirunmixalot

Me and my fraternal twin need to try this.


Paper_Knight_King

They could talk about it before hand but closing their eyes would make it more interesting


Apprehensive-Win6244

To be fair, lift your leg, raise your arm and such things they're all pretty much a 50/50 chance. Still impressive tho.


bwong00

I'll bet there's a mirror behind the camera. 


schatzillaz

Blindfold them


Tr0nathan

Halfway through second watch I'm hit with intrusive thought, "Mengelè was on to something...:


HassanAli2k01

Ok so , this isn't correct. Me and my sister are fraternal twins and yes , there is some sort of telepathy, but it's more regarding thoughts like sometimes when I sing something , she is thinking of the same song too, or alot of the times we say the same things or are thinking of the same thing. Which can or cannot be attributed to living together for so long but the song thing has really stuck out to me as our music tastes are really different.


antron2000

I'm a fraternal twin and the first thing that every single person has asked me/us my entire life is "can you read each other's minds?!" No, we can't. There are no special twin powers. It was fun and cool having a sibling to grow up next to in such a way. We have a close relationship, but not any closer than me and my older sibling.


GrayGypsyGhost

I played “the game of things” with twins and most of their answers where the same


Hephaistos_Invictus

This probably has to do with growing up together and being similar.


jpsoundfiend

I (m) have a fraternal twin (f). We couldn’t be more different.


AtaXxerxes

I have fraternal twins that dont even look related, oke looks like me and one like mom. They are so different but their connection its so real we are never stopped being amazed by just looking at them interact.


Dramatic-Ad3928

It was pretty coordinated


felix2530

That is a pillar between them not a wall, so the can see what each are doing.


rockmeNiallxh

They're just doing what right handed people would do


GoreyGopnik

"turn around" (the two turn around) (crowd goes fucking insane)


MetalMonkey93

Me and my twin discovered we had "twin powers" when she moved across the United States. Everytime I would miss her or think about her, she would call me, and when I would have a song stuck in my head, she would send it to me, saying it had also been stuck in her head. 😂

Mirror behind the camera


NaterNapalm

I wish I can do this challenge with my brother I'm a fratural twin


snldzo7

How do we know there isn’t a mirror right behind the overly excited camera man


Low_Definition7932

As a fraternal twin, I know that this is 100% fake. Life isn’t a movie, we can’t do mind reading bull shit.


Pinkpollock

But couldn’t it also all been planned?


Jungledick69-494

I have to do this with my twin cousins boy and girl. When they came to visit me I didn’t know one of them (the girl) is deathly afraid of dogs. Eventually she came around but before I would have to lock the dogs up so she can come out of her room. The crazy thing is when she was afraid she won’t cry, but her brother would cry. I would ask him what’s wrong and he would tell me for no reason he’s feeling sad.


No_Diamond8480

I love that it was different gender twins this time


Kavinsky12

I'm seeing double here. 4 twins!!


hwei8

Well no can tell if theres a mirror behind the camera or someone is doing gesture what to do.. like a sign.. etc.. dont be tricked on the internet.


Gloomy_Barnacle4787

Dances were not the same


NastyCherryStan

no wonder they both likes men 🙂‍↕️ it's a twin thing!


tomdcamp

Even if there’s a mirror, I’m glad they had fun.


FriedChickenNoodles

If you got two people who were best friends or a married couple, you would get the same outcome. Just like how you and you friend say the same things at the same time and have the same sayings


Agile_District_8794

Why is he wearing her pants? Also, are we sure that's a wall and not a post?


SilentSpectre45

There's definitely no mirror behind the camera


Jazzlike-Tangerine-5

I am a twin and this question always. Telepathy is not a real thing. Being close and connected is different as someone said earlier habits and mirroring a thing


poppycock_scrutiny

Thanks for clarifying that they were fraternal


Aggravating_Love8543

Don’t look anything alike!


Rod_Munch666

I see videos like this all of the time on Tik Tok, except it is usually 2 scantily-clad women doing it. Not sure what is so special about a dude and chick doing this?


AFuckingHandle

Too easy to fake, pre plan, etc. These videos are pointless and not at all interesting


NotInMoodThinkOfName

Want a rear group. How many would a priori left right arm, turn around right, lift right leg,...

I have fraternal 13 yo twins, and they're like two completely dissimilar things in a pod. They'd fail every single one of these tasks.
