@itsjillianrowe: Ever wonder how a series called Fuck Ass History gets its name? Well, it all started with a trip to a museum in North Carolina. My husband and I went to learn about Chang and Eng Bunker, the famous conjoined twins from Siam (modern-day Thailand) who became international celebrities in the 1800s. And their lives were absolutely fascinating. They traveled the world, became wealthy, married two sisters, fathered 21 children between them, and settled down in North Carolina. But then we got to a little detail about their lives that stopped us in our tracks. THEY OWNED ENSLAVED PEOPLE. These two men, who had spent much of their lives being objectified and exploited because of their bodies, went on to participate in one of the most horrific systems of human exploitation in American history. I looked at my husband and said, “That’s some fuck ass history.” And just like that, a series was born. 😂 Today we’re going back to where it all began. Welcome to Fuck Ass History: The Origin Story. #FuckAssHistory #ChangAndEng #DarkHistory #AmericanHistory #HistoryTok

I truly understand your reaction, but slavery during that time was normal. You're applying 21st century morals to the 19th century & that's unfair.

"yes my weird wife would love this" your husband is the biggest winner in the game of marriage.

As messed up as this sounds, in modern times how they’re conjoined is like best case scenario when it comes to separating them.

I did a report on them due extra credit in hs. What I learned was wild. However, it was one of the first times I realized how immigrants come to this country and eagerly assimilate into White culture regardless of their upbringing. It’s 2026 and people are still doing the same thing even though history shows us what happens to those that do.

My husband and I stopped at the Andy Griffith museum this past summer. I’m disappointed in myself that we didn’t do the conjoined twins museum 😔
