      I will say he has a point about this, I've never used 23andMe and never intend to and find everyone who has done it to be extremely irritatinghttps://twitter.com/sullydish/status/1384164919428358145 …

      Have you ever tried 23andMe? Crazy how lefties who send out spittle to get their genetic origins turn around and say they don’t exist! Clown.

      And I think this is perfectly justified I have yet to hear of any practical downside to refusing to participate that's any different from refusing to get your natal chart read by an astrologer But it does make you and your biological family way more vulnerable to surveillance

      It's the exact equivalent of all those stupid apps that made you submit your face photos for some totally bullshit algorithmic assessment ("How old do you objectively look?") while also quietly adding your face to Google's training data

      I knew someone who did it to try and find out about their family medical history but it turns out it's useless if the part of your family you need to know about has never done it. He ended up going to a doctor to get some tests, like he should have in the first place.

      Some of my cousins in the USA did it and there are two possible options as to the results: 1: it is scarily accurate, to the town, as to where your ancestors came from. 2: nobody in Ireland uses it, they were the sole datapoints for those towns

      You remember the thing about how Conan O'Brien was "more Irish than the Irish" when he did it (he came up as actually 100% Irish when most people in Ireland are only around 90%)

      And his doctor just bluntly tells him "It's because you're highly inbred" (his ancestors are from a very small pool so all the markers in the reference data show up) As is true of many "historic" populations of insular Irish-American Catholic immigrants

      There's a whole range of factors that imposed bottlenecks on the populations of Irish people in Ireland and in the USA.

      Yeah he's from a population of immigrants who arrived in Worcester, MA shortly after the Civil War and kept to themselves for the next century due to their religious differences with their neighbors

      Conan says he's the first person in his whole extended family to "break the cycle" and marry someone who isn't 100% ethnically Irish (his wife is 1/2 Irish 1/2 Scottish)

          And his brothers ask him with fascination what being with a Scottish woman is like, if it feels different when you make love

          A lot of Irish people pointed out the ugly stereotype this SNL sketch is based on is, for obvious reasons, an Irish-American stereotype and turning around and applying it to the country of Ireland just comes off as ignoranthttps://youtu.be/1_glHa8F7fA
