Adriellen Barbosa Lima, 22, who was shot and killed in Mineiros, in southwestern Goiás, became known for a rare case of twins with different fathers. At the time, the young woman was 19 years old, and her pregnancy resulting from heteroparental superfecundation was the 20th such case recorded worldwide up to that point.

Adriellen was killed on April 20 at a house near the Buena Vista housing development. Joelson Ribeiro da Conceição, 23, the young woman’s partner, is the prime suspect in the crime. As of the latest update to this report on Wednesday (29), he had not been located by the police.

I googled it so you don't have to: The story is true, but there are a lot of fake pictures. I don't know if these pictures are genuine.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago

the pictures are fake, the kids have same skin color.

Also, just want to point out that the ovulation period is only 24-48 hours. Make of that what you will.

Make of that what you will.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 55 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (20 children)

Yes, but sperm live for up to five days in the female reproductive tract. With the ~~48~~ 12-24 hour ovulation, the combined window is 7 days.

Two days or seven days, your slut shaming is not necessary.

[–] cuerdo@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

I think he was slut contextualizing

Having a half twin brother is wild

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Were twins"

"You dont look like twins"

"Mom liked to party"

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

you are thinking of identical twins. they are created by impregnated ovum splitting in two. that's why they look alike - they are literal genetic copy, defacto the same person. you can't distinguish them with a dna test.

fraternal twins come from two different eggs impregnated independently, growing up in the same womb. they are two different people, they don't look alike, they don't even have to have the same sex.

Ah... of course... a gene-test...

To add to the other comment, albino babies have not been treated kindly in the past

I know you're joking but I've heard of weirder in my family, a majority of the time we pop out looking pale and pink but on rare occasions some native DNA will come to the surface and they come out tan. Hasn't happened in a couple too many generations so I suspect the native blood has become too thin but with an ethnically mixed enough population this could happen relatively frequently.

A brother from the same mother

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Also known by the less common shorthand of brother

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Half brother.

At least in America he'd get a 3/5ths sister.

so how many different women did this happen to? this ai crap will not end well...

~~also, if we take the image at face value, did they really need dna test to determine the kids do not have same father? 😂~~ edit: the kids have same skin color, see comment below for source

There are instances of two different dna samples in one person, so don't. Also, white babies can be born to black women and black babies to white women.

The picture is not real though.

Pro move, honestly. Otherwise it can be really hard telling which of your twins is which.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

the pictures are ai slop, the kids have same skin color. it took her 8 months to realize something was wrong. https://lemmy.zip/post/69962286/28352399

[–] RogueBanana@piefed.zip 17 points 3 days ago (7 children)

I thought twins were always split from the same egg. Great and my only news source for learning, shit posts.

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Identical twins, yes. You can have multiple eggs fertile at the same time. Two of my childhood friends were a boy and girl who were twins, obviously look quite different lol

I think that's just identical twins, but fraternal twins are two separate eggs being fertilized, which is how you can have twins of different sexes
