Both can be true! (Being siblings and cousins at the same time, requires bit of inbreeding ofc)

Can actually be done without any inbreeding. For instance, if a man has children with two women who are sisters, the children would be paternal half-siblings and maternal cousins. Used to be fairly common when arranged marriages and dying in childbirth were normal. Wife died, but the marriage ties are important so you marry her sister.

I’ve got 2 sister cousins. My mom’s sister was declared unfit, and my parents legally adopted.

An ex of mine had this situation!
Her mom had one guy, got 2 kids with him and divorced him for his little brother, with whom she had another kid.

Did you know Alabamans refuse to have sex in the ‘doggy style’ position?
They never turn their back on family!

Incest meme aside, I would be fucking furious if one of my fellow siblings put me in the cousin zone. It smells weird there.

West Virginia exists because they refused to secede from the Union when Virginia joined the Confederacy. They don’t deserve to be associated with that flag.

You’re the first one to mention flags.

reletively yes but you still shouldn’t.
a 1st cousin has like 16% shared dna. half removed is half that. 2nd cousin is half of the half removed and it repeats.
so 1st > 1st half removed > 2nd > 2nd half removed> … nth.
after a few steps in your percentage is already pretty fucking low.

Iirc first cousins have a 5% chance of terrible outcomes, which might sound low but… anyone who has played D&D or other d20 TTRPGs know how often 1s hit.

All humans have like 99.9% shared DNA with every other human on a planet. Hell we have about 50% shared DNA with a banana.

You’re talking about people for whom “blood relative” and “potential mate” are a perfect circle in Venn diagrams.

And usually the Americans, try to copy something they have seen in Europe. The beautiful stem circle from the Habsburgs got copied into whatever this is supposed to be.

Wouldn’t cousin’s be more okay? Pulling out adds a +1 to once removed.

Ofc the occasional siblingly soak is still on the table. They’re southerners, not animals.
