If you separate the halves of your brain, they can operate relatively fine independently of each other, each controlling roughly half of the body. When one half does something, and the other half is asked why they did it, the other half will make up a plausible reason why they just did that action. There’s a theory that this is basically how your brain works all the time, just guessing why it did things, and potentially with multiple processes happening in relative isolation that aren’t consciously aware of each other.
Fun fact: your left eye doesn’t go only to your right brain. The left half of your field of vision in your left eye goes to your right brain. Same with the right half of your left eye, and your right eye is split up similarly. How nuts is that?
I find this kind of exciting actually because that suggests that our brain is already a hivemind with two minds melded into one. This opens up potential for expanding the mind in the future either through connection with other biological minds of even artificial ones by hooking into the corpus callosum. :)

Wow weird
That explains my life.
Here’s a good video on it.

There was also a House MD episode with a patient with that.
