The bullshit thread

[Pimpin]

My point is, some people believe that from these tests they can infer certain characteristics, which can in fact only be inferred after multiple generations of inbreeding, with known consequences (see dogs).

For most of our traits, knowing your parents and your grandparents (personality and physically wise) or looking at yourself in the mirror will give you better results, for free.

So, imho, if you do it for medical reasons, or just for fun I guess, it makes sense. Otherwise, it's a rip-off.

I mean, it cost 100 pounds but i proved to my girl i was right, so yeah, worth every penny.

Paternal haplogroup can tell you alot tbh, ancestry composition as in which country you are from however is next to useless.

this is the supreme haplogroup btw :slick:

Paternal haplogroup is a marker on 1 of the 23 chromosomes (sex chromosome). It's basically like 0.01% of your DNA Ancestry composition is 22/23 other chromosomes (autosomal) which is the "rest of your DNA" but dating is quite bad (only 200 years back).

If you want a proper DNA test, you need to spend thousands of dollars and have multiple scientists/archeologists looking at it

I feel like an old out of touch man by saying this but I really feel like reddit killed off the usage of internet forums and it makes me feel a bit sad. This place is the only forum I'm on and I will always be super happy it exists, but sometimes I feel nostalgia for other forums that don't exist anymore or just have very low activity nowadays.

Reddit always gives me the feeling of a kindergarten. What is people's fascination with that shithole?

Has anyone tried any of those DNA services? Was thinking maybe a fun present for my parents and wife’s parents

Just don’t do it if you plan on committing any crimes.

Have you guys seen that show with the lady that cracks old cold cases by using DNA databases to put together a family tree. She will find the DNA and it won’t be a match but it will be like a 10% match to a cousin who’s DNA is on file and then she will use that to put together a family tree. It’s pretty interesting

People talk out of their asses in a much more convincing way.



Jokes aside, big fan of Reddit. Seemingly almost anything you can think of they already covered and it feels like the age group can vary a lot over there. Not just typical 12 year olds like most of social media.

It's not the content but the layout for me.

It feels very code-like, like an MS DOS way of communication. And also whenever I tried to read something there I cannot go for more than 1-2 posts, the flow of discussion seems like a larger number of parallel monologues.

And let's face it, whenever you search for something, Reddit is going to appear on your search with some possible answers so people will definitely check that out without having an account.

I prefer landing on Quora though. Much higher level of discussion on average and better interface. Still lacking something, but it beats Reddit for me.

Russia officially excluded from the Tokyo 2021 and the Beijing 2021 Olympics, and also from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, as CAS only reduced their ban from 4 to 2 years.

(CAS = Court of Arbitration for Sport, also known as TAS, Tribunal arbitral du sport).

However, athletes from Russia can still take part in the Olympics, but without any association to the country.

I have also heard somewhere that russian athletes will be allowed to take part in the World Cup, too, as "neutral", but I'm not sure about that, I don't even know how it would work (i guess it might be true in theory, but not in practice).

What is certain, and I quote, is: Russia will be allowed to play at next year's delayed Euro 2020 tournament because European football's governing body Uefa is not defined as a "major event organisation" with regards to rulings on anti-doping breaches.

I couldn't find an appropriate thread so i posted this here.

So Brexit is apparently done, but I'm not buying it. There's at least one more season worth of television drama remaining.

Just sprained my ankle really bad at futsal.
Some fucker wanted to shoot like a Guarin and i put my right foot in front of the ball and he kicked it hard as fuck, my ankle making a good 90 degrees movement.
Luckily, it was my right foot, not my left when i had ruptured my ligaments in my ankle some years ago.
Good start to 2021.

Take a glass bottle and role slowly under your foot, if something is off with bones it will set.
