I watched a documentary about this and it was messed up, the two girls were coached and tricked into doing this as some kind of youtube prank and were sentenced and put in prison (next to each other at least) waiting to be executed. then one of them was released because Indonesia made a deal while the other had to stay for a while before being finally let out

Pigs see a Tesla and they know the driver is every bit as brain-damaged as themselves. Would it work for black motorists??

Silly, A Black could never afford a Tesla, he obviously stole it, and the fingerprint-free handgun and baggie of weed on the floorboard of the car would obviously prove He Was No Angel.

Getting pulled over by the police for driving a car that's "too nice" or "reported stolen" is a thing.

Dog DNA tests are mostly used by people that put their dogs in competitions (show dogs, agility, etc) and breeders, bother using it as a way to prove the dog is purebred. At least that's my understanding? That and probably people with rescue mutts who want to know what kind of mix their dog really is.

yeah that's what they told arnold, that they'd just take a sample of his dog's DNA and nothing bad would happen and then all of a sudden BAM, he's been cloned and is being hunted by assassins

I imagine it might be useful if your mixed breed mutt vaguely resembles an "aggressive breed" and you want something to show the HOA or municipal dog licence folks that he's not a locally restricted breed.


e: Or it might not. Plenty of white rear end people with plenty of pictures of their white rear end ancestors get clocked as like 3% Polynesian and 2% West African or whatever. Who knows what the dog version turns up.

Those same white rear end people are the ones who buy dog DNA tests because they have a burning need to know exactly what breed their dog is.

quote:

A Chicago-based NBC station sent one reporter’s DNA to a handful of home DNA tests to compare the results. And just for kicks, they also sent a sample of DNA from Bailey, a Labrador retriever (it’s unclear who Bailey’s owner is is, but we’re pretty sure Bailey is a very good girl).

While most companies returned the sample as unreadable, one called Orig3n DNA didn’t seem to notice. Instead, they sent back a 7-page report praising Bailey’s cardiac output and muscle force, and recommending that she work with a personal trainer.

this was a human DNA test kit. the animal ones are even less regulated.
