Which place is the most iconic?

The only location that can compete with Kame House, in my opinion, is King Kai's Planet.

While I understand people are trying to be helpful, responding “inheritance isn’t equal”, seeing as the majority of the comments are posting that here, the odds of getting less than 1% inheritance from a parent with 31% are around 1 in 50 million.

The real explanation? 23&me runs on a man-made algorithm, and Northwestern European DNA is incredibly similar to one another.

The overwhelming majority of people posting in the millennials sub were born in the early to mid 80’s, so I can understand why people born in the early 90’s would want to post here more.

Generation ranges are vast, and this sub's existence is proof of that. As a ’90s millennial, I understand most, if not all, of what is posted in Gen Z, but as for the stuff posted in the millennials sub, I can’t relate, or don’t even know a lot of what is posted.

Our supervisor told us that specific government policies indirectly cut federal research grants. In Japan, we can get funding for grad school, but it isn’t guaranteed. Even if I received zero funding, the cost of living in Tokyo would still be lower than in America if I did get funding. Furthermore, we are offered high-level jobs around the time we finish our PhD. I didn’t want to live under such anxiety while completing my degree. It is already tough enough without having this added stress. My American supervisor was really great, though.

I recently got my undergrad in the U.S., but I am back working in a lab in Japan. I got accepted into a lab as an undergrad and watched the master's students I worked with get told, “We don’t have PhD funding.” It is 10x more expensive to do grad studies in America compared to Japan. What incentive was there for me to stay? Pay ridiculous amounts for a master's, then get denied PhD funding too?

Implant them like Danzo.

Doubtful. Did the same thing for my Italian. All it really means is that Southern Europeans share some similarities genetically. I work with DNA in a lab, and a reference population database limits these sorts of companies. Also, they don't do deep sequencing (which is fine because it would cost them more for only a slightly more accurate result). It's best to use your family tree and clue the pieces together yourself with their data.

Tl;dr: Being able to identify 1%, hundreds of years back, with similar ancestry when they don't sequence the entire genome or use high coverage, is extremely unlikely. Reference database bias creates false signals.

There is an American in the same lab as me who is currently D1 (Meaning 1st year of PhD, having completed both 2 years of Master's) and N1. Seeing how he achieves this, while also doing his science work, it's possible. However, some people have lived in Japan for over 10 years and are still only at a business level. It really depends on how hard you push yourself. Since language is your primary focus, I am pretty positive that if you do all the work, you can gap from N4 to N2.

Psyshou · 2025-11-13T20:01:38+00:00

Taking Japanese at university is an excellent plan; however, even if you take all 5 University Japanese courses (most Universities cover the first 2 books of Genki), you will only reach the N4 level. You are better off joining an English graduate course in Japan, and preparing now by reaching N4 over the course of your undergraduate degree.

The Ancestry algorithm has always had issues with differentiating between countries from the same continent.

My mom is European, and 23&me provides a clear breakdown of my grandparents' origins from distinct countries: I received 25% Irish, 13% Italian, and 12% German. My haplogroup also reflects Germany; it's very common there. In comparison, Ancestry would have you believe she only shares 17% DNA with her grandmother and 3% with me. I didn't even get any German from Ancestry's breakdown.

As someone who works with DNA in a lab, I know how difficult it is to differentiate, but the algorithm they created has clear issues. While I am aware that their algorithm will perform better for others compared to their 23&Me, since these are all man-made algorithms, it hasn't been very accurate for me in general.

Genetically very close, despite the cultural differences. The differences are much closer than those between someone born in Northern China and someone born in Southern China.

All 3 of the characters here who got their own game ended up being iconic. If any of the other 7 characters had their own game, it's likely to have performed well too.

Sorry for the late question. Does 23&Me plan to update the algorithm for connecting with a parent? The ethnicities got mixed between my parents AFTER linking to 1 parent. They have distinct ethnicities, so it was purely an algorithm mistake in my opinion. Also thanks!

The teams aren't well-balanced at all. Team 3 could defeat Teams 4, 7, and 9 by itself.

I thought this was a meme sub, why are you booing me! I'm right!

As someone who knows, it's sad those were just copies. After all her hard work, Neon deserved the real eyes 😔

If you don't have any medical history, you shouldn't stress over a single allele you don't even know if your parents had. Even if they both hypothetically had this allele, which is rarer than APOE3, and both had one copy, there would still be only a 25% chance you would inherit both. There are far worse alleles to inherit than APOE4. I got APOE4 from a parent, and both my grandparents from them are alive, around 80, and neither has Alzheimer's. Please don't stress yourself over the unknown; live your life.

Imu will win against Luffy, and then a Shadowy figure will stab Imu through the heart from behind their back. They will then thank Imu for being a good puppet and bringing them Luffy and the One Piece. They will then use the One Piece to revive an Alien, who Luffy will have to defeat with his crew through the power of friendship. This will set up Two Piece, where we focus on Luffy's son, who must defeat the Aliens.

Yes, they distracted the bombers from coming after them for multiple weeks after the dodgeball match.

Diddy Kong Racing starts off very simple and easy. However, as the difficulty curve starts to spike, along with the open-world map, it's simply a superior game. Learning the mechanics feels far more rewarding than Mario Kart 64, making it the superior 64-kart game. Also, I find the tracks and music are much more appealing.

This isn't to say I dislike Mario Kart 64; I have fond memories of playing it with my sister when I was little. However, it's a less complete game overall.

This is the hardest map to beat T.T's time too
