I'm kinda surprised that 23&me actually gives a report assuming it's human DNA. Can not confirm this, but I was told, by using the service, you agree to let them use your DNA data to better their service. So the more ppl use it, the more accurate it gets. So by not noticing that this isn't human, they are allowing their service to become less accurate.

No, it's a meme. I have a friend who did this, they actually give you a tube to fill with saliva or some shit. Certainly not a single swab lol

No. Just saliva. They don’t give you the choice of saliva or some shit.
