I Found My DOPPELGANGER and Tested His DNA

Does everyone have an unrelated twin? It turns out doppelgangers are more common then you'd think, and relate to how consciousness works! Thank you community for helping me FIND SCOTT HOYING, MY LONG LOST BROTHER!!!!

I actually never noticed this but I do have a memory of my husband saying "Those science guys are in a really good band, " which is making more sense now.

[therongjr]

I was gonna say, "You both may look alike, but you have a unique personality, " . . . but then I watched you both interact! 😆

[theambitiousduck]

i love that they met up and actually took a dna test

[batya]

As a mother of identical twins I could tell them apart from day 1 without fault. Their father them mixed up occasionally. Yes, it's uncanny how alike, yet how different, they look to me.

[sacumblousi]

Where's the unlocking each other's phone with Face ID ? That would have been a great test to see whether your phones also agree that your faces look alike.

[OneWingedErin]

I've always thought you two looked similar, but I never thought you were the same person. It was fun to see you guys interact!

I've actually met my doppelganger! We are the same age, we used to play soccer together, and played the same positions. We were so similar that one of us would be on the field and the other on the bench and our parents would cheer for the wrong person! I remember my mom specifically cheering for me only for me to be standing on the side line 10 feet away. She literally told me she would know it was me or not based on the hair ties we wore! Imaging your mom not being to tell you apart!

Now that we've both grown up we've of course grown into our facial features, so we don't look SO similar anymore, but the likeness is still there!

When Science and The Arts meet, it's a thing of beauty.

[shibainu]

This video exists. I can die in peace now.
Seeing Scott being this sassy, I love you even more now hahahaha

[millacabral]

I find it hilarious too that you both have a Mitch in your lives, that also look pretty similar lol

[JuanPablodelaTorre]

The funniest part is that both have a partner called Mitch. When I first found you, I thought for a second Superfruit had gone into science.

[Claire_smile]

I've never mixed you two up before, but I've always loved both of y'all's work. This friendship seems so wholesome. Hopefully there can be more collabs in the future!!? 💛

[melissacoviello]

Love this sooo much. I am still cracking up that it said Scott had “normal” musical ability. Lol

[FacterinoCommenterino]

Today's fact: The term 'footage' comes from films being measured in feet, when being edited in the early days of film making.

[MegaKiri]

In 23andme you can actually compare two DNAs and find shared regions, this would be more interesting!
All people are related, the question is only how far is the common ancestor.

[ActiveAdvocate]

PS: He's taller than you, but wow, that is ALSO creepy. And now that I think back, I met my mom's doppelganger in the mall once when I was a little, little kid. I think I'd lost her somewhere, and I went up to this lady who looked exactly like her, but she didn't even talk to me. I think I started crying till my real mom came and found me.

[simonabunker]

You definitely have similar energy - I can see how people would mix up your personalities. Looks like you had a fun day. Do a paternity test next!

[jk-qjqz]

I could see how I could get you two mixed up scrolling through TikTok, but I don't think you two look much alike other than coloring and basic similarities. Together though you both behave very close to eachother, so I could see you two being related for sure.

[kaneamora]

So I have partial facial blindness, but I’m really good at telling twins apart. I once dated a twin who everyone else said they looked completely identical, but to me, I could immediately tell them apart just with a glance.

[anotherhappyday]

Did the Mitchs disappear? That's one of the things that made people confuse them back in the day. They both have a Mitch closely associated with them.

[meows_and_woof]

I love their chemistry when they met, they clicked immediately. Both of them not only look same but they have similar personalities. It’s insane
