Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:<p>Quite some years ago I did an identity swap with a good friend. We both ordered <a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/23andMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>23andMe</span></a> testing sets, exchanged the sets and passwords. He sent his test back and used my identity to see the results. I decided to NOT send my test back. I still have the swab kit, unused. I will frame it and hang it up in my living room :)</p>
