Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Is it known that Things can identify each other?
I once read a theory that the flask they were sharing was shared with gasoline or something else noxious so that whomever filled it could judge the other's reaction to determine whether they had been beThinged. (I think that was it. I read the comment a long time ago and saw the movie even longer ago so I might misremember the details.)
If that's in the movie (the gas flask) it must be a deleted scene or something because I've never seen anything like that. So Things can identify themselves and if in the correct conditions will combine to form a larger creature. Especially the conditions on the end of the movie where survival and not freezing to death are the main concerns. Another established fact in the movie is if there is one Thing and one human it will attack / consume / clone that person. Anyway, def seen it a few times, haha. You should give it a rewatch.
As far as I can recall, the theory was just conjecture, fanon, not confirmed (but neither definitively denied) by anything shown. I apologize if I misrepresented it.
