Have you ever done a DNA test?

[Tribelle2026]

I did a DNA test and I had Irish, Scottish and Breton ancestry.

[PluMGMK]

Aren't those things kind of a scam? Like, they can't really tell you your ancestry, they just do some statistical comparison with the DNA of people currently living in certain areas.

Then suddenly your DNA is in a commercial database, and the data can be sold on to others, just like your personal data on web services / apps

That's definitely more dangerous than drawing a pentagram at 3 a.m.

I don’t even know my blood type.

[Pirez]

That's rather worrying, don't find yourself losing a lot of blood then :/

[Steo]

I hope not. I don't plan to at least.

I don’t even know my blood type.

Me neither. I really need to look that up, for reasons obvious.

[Steo]

Haha. I feel like a lot of people don't actually know it unless something happens to them. Of course, we probably should all know.

[Hunchman801]

I did a blood test a year ago or so, surely it must be written there?

[Steo]

I believe I also had some a couple years back, and several other ones on and off since I was a teen. They have to know mine too.

Yep, at the line "rhesus"

Mine is A+, aka the generic one.

[Rsandee]

Yeah I also don't really want to give away a sample of my DNA to be put in some database, paying for it notwithstanding.

[Hunchman801]

Can you get any interesting information out of it, besides the "ancestry" data based on statistical comparisons?

[The Jonster]

I did a DNA test recently. It stated that I am 100% a natural winner.

[Pirez]

...

Based on your answer on the Videogame quizz, I suggest you get your money back.

[The Jonster]

Who said I used money to pay for this test? I used 10 Mushroom Kingdom coins! And then I won them back playing Snow Whirled, being the natural winner I am!
