Have you taken the ancestry test?

[Anonymous]

If not, would you and will you?

And what do you know for sure will pop up on your results?

[ChiTown33]

Yeah, I have but only because it was free.

I was surprised to find out I was almost a 3rd Scottish because I was told I was mostly Irish (close enough though). I apologize if that offends any of you Irish out there.🤣 but I do have a traditionally English last name.

[RavVid]

I will expect some Slavic component as one of the forbears came from near Hamburg where there were Western Slavs and not Germans as you night expect. Might be some Danish viking since there were centuries of conflict between the Western Slavs and Danes and you sort of have to expect some raping and pillaging with that.

The rest will be strongly English Scottish and Irish I imagine.

I haven't done one yet but will.

[7Phoenix7]

Yeah I took it. My mom bought a bunch of them and I figured i might as well do it.

I wasn't surprised that I am African with 15 percent European...

[Asker]

Interesting

[ChiTown33]

Wait you have African ancestry? Shut the front door!🙃🤣

[7Phoenix7]

@ChiTown33

I know right? Very shocking lol

[Account]

The one where they check your DNA sample? Fuck no, I am too paranoid.

[Asker]

I didn't take you for a paranoid person, I thought you were all jolly lol

[Account]

Me jolly? Lmao 😂

[Asker]

Yea that was a stretch 😆

[HawkPerception]

Yup, I'm pretty freakin mixed. It's from all around the damn world.

[DrPepper12]

That is INCREDIBLE!! You are the human condition!!

[HawkPerception]

Haha yessir 😂

[buzzword]

Nope, only dumb people pay to hand over their DNA profile to nefarious companies. You'd be wise to protect your DNA.

[Asker]

Good point

[buzzword]

Why do you think a communist country that released COVID-19 on the world would want to purchase the DNA assets from a leading personal genomics and biotechnology company? You think maybe they are targeting specific groups that have handed over their DNA willingly? Time to wake up...

[buzzword]

Biological weapons are a real and present danger... Do you want to be the target?

[Asker]

If we are speaking about biological weapons then my DNA isn't much of harm, actually if anything it's the least of anyone's worry considering people can easily create disease, highly contagious disease, I think the last one was COVID, that shit had to be manmade

[buzzword]

When you want to target specific groups of people, you need large amounts of data. That's why ancestry tests even exist, they are a ruse to to build genetic databases. From that database you can search for commonality and then tailor biological weapons to hit specific groups more severely and other groups less severely. While everyone is impacted on release, those who are targeted are more likely to die and those who are protected are more likely to have mild cases due to their genetic profile. You know how the World Economic Forum keeps talking about how humans are now hackable? They are refering to groups that have already handed over their software.

[Asker]

How are you so sure the government doesn't already have that information tho lol

Besides it wouldn't be smart or beneficial for our government to use our own bio weapons against us, if they are creating bio weapons I would imagine it's meant for other countries, either ways I know I'm not giving them my shit lol

[buzzword]

Yeah governments like China Communist Party hand over $10 billion dollars for something they already had access to right? I know I always give piles of money to buy copies of information I already have...

[Malwi93]

@buzzword i was actually just thinking about smth like tihs

[DrPepper12]

I would NEVER turn over my genotype to a private corporation!!! That's fucking insane!!! At least in my state NY they're required by law to destroy sample in 30 days and only retain data. Why would you do that?

[Malwi93]

i find them so interesting i am actually hoping for some unexpected info

[Asker]

Well you definitely look mixed so seems like the chances of that happening might be high

[Malwi93]

how did you know im mixed and not for example lightskinned Black haha

[Asker]

Technically light skin black is mixed too, isn't it? Lol

But we have spoken before, I remember you weren't light skin cause I confused you for that the first time 💀

[AviatorTom]

Yes, I took the DNA test. It proved what I already knew about where my ancestors came from. It's been totally wrong about some of my traits though overall it's fairly accurate.

[NathanDavis]

I haven't...

but others in the family have so... we already kind of know that it would be about the same line

[NathanDavis]

if anything... I should check if am adopted

[LiamS95]

Apparently there can be a fair difference between even siblings depending on whose genes and bloodlines you have predominantly ended up with from eith the maternal of paternal sides of your parents genealogy.

[NathanDavis]

@LiamS95 it depends on what kind of test they actually perform... could be chromosomal or mitochondrial, second one being of mother lineage only, autosomal are the most "accurate" or so they say

truth is this... my great-grandma came from Germany, and she told me not to worry about that... "you're Texan and that's it"

lmfao...

[jahaims]

Nah, you sign away your rights to your dna for most of those and at the very least they sell your genetic information

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Nope, not interested !

[Asker]

Lol.

[LiamJHayden]

Nope. Why would I ultimately give a corrupt government my genetic blueprint?

[CubaPirate]

No but I'd love to

[Asker]

I think you can do it online, I don't know how
