    I think you are also cursed with the gene that makes you a dick.

    Obviously there’s good and bad reasons to get tested.

    The point is to be more mindful of who you share your data with. It’s to protect yourself, not to make you feel like a fool.

      Read the rest of the comments here before you comment. Everyone is bashing 23andMe users and the bubble they live in while the irony is completely lost on them.

      Your so called ‘obvious reasons’ are anything but obviously to the average lemmy user who will find every excuse to feel superior about their niche privacy loving community with no clue how the real world works.
