    so, few facts.

    the story is real, the kids were born in 2022. the image is ai slop. the kids actually have same skin color - the woman decided to do the dna testing when they were 8 months (if they were black and white, it would probably became suspicious sooner). she fucked them both on same day, but it probably wasn’t random one night stand from the bar, because she was able to reach both of them for the test. one of them is raising both kids with her.

    this is as close to original source as i have found, interviews her attending physician: https://g1.globo.com/go/goias/noticia/2022/09/07/gemeos-de-pais-diferentes-medico-explica-a-superfecundacao-heteroparental.ghtml

    The woman bonded with two men on the same day and became pregnant with both. Doctor Túlio Franco explained that fertilizations in different eggs happened in a matter of a few hours between one and the other.
    (…)
    The mother of the boys explained that the children are very similar, but that doubts arose regarding the fatherhoods. When they were eight months old, she did the DNA scans with the man she thought was the father. The result was positive only for one child.

    She then remade the exams, which confirmed the paternity for a child. “I remembered that I had been related to another man and I called him to take the test, which was positive,” says the mother.
    (…)
    According to her mother, the father of one of them took over the two boys and made the records in the registry office. “He takes care of both, helps me a lot to create and gives all the necessary support they need,” he said.

    Amusingly I learned about this with one of my dogs. He was significantly bigger than the rest of his litter by a huge margain, when we told the vet about it the guy just said “must have a different dad”. like it was the most common thing on earth.

    I have a friend who’s sister had this happen. She hooked up with her bf, got into a fight and left. Hooked up with an old side-piece the next day. I’ve met the kids and they seem fine other than having the most ghetto trio of parents of all time.

    This happened on an episode of Maury - my roommate and I were convinced the father was an idiot for claiming one of his twins wasn’t his, and then the paternity test came back and we lost our minds

      If I remember correctly Schwarzenegger and DeVito were explained in the movie as a genetic experiment and a side effect.
