Is it a name I'd call someone or something I'd yell when I stub my toe? Or is it more like, "What the cancer dog!?" I can't say it's my favorite profanity.
No it's a name you call somebody, but only if someone really hurt you or screwed you over.
When you hurt you toe you might say teering or tyfus (tbc, typhus)
"These thoughts are too useful to just stay in my head, I'm going out to get some sticky letters so I can spread the message to the world"
PEEVERT! NO DOGS, CANCER IN THE HOUSE!
What the fuck
Untreated mental illness
It's the American way
Setting aside cancer dog, 95% of the time when I see this lettering on a vehicle I know it's probably mental illness.
The other 5% is probably the best plumber in town
The "mental illness" and "plumber" categories can actually add up to be more than 100%.
For sure. I see one in my town occasionally:
LIBERALS ARE DEMONIC

Hell yeah 😎🎸

This is the only scientific journal I follow.
Do you know how to get reviewed and published? I have a paper on hamster piss
Damn, I just have hamster piss on a paper.
All you need to get published is a Silverado, some stickers, and someone with a first grade understanding of the English language. The review in this case comes after the publication.

Fuck it's RFK's replacement.
This reminds me of when I was about 8 years old. I read online that vaccines are bad, and fluoride in the drinking water was part of some evil plot. I told everyone about it and it took about a day for me to realize how wrong I was. I was embarrassed for a while, but every time I see something like this I feel so lucky I developed critical thinking before it was too late.
I wish I hadn’t to be honest with you. I wish I could have carried on relating to my family, ignorant of the problems of this world.
I miss believing in ghosts. I miss the comfort I got praying as I walked through a dark room. I miss the live music at church a few times a week, the big tent revivals, believing I was seeing actual miracles when faith healers called someone up.
I miss that short window in life when the only things that I knew related directly to me and my community.
I don’t miss any of it enough to actually, honestly go back even if I could, but damn.
I’m just worked up because a stray cat got hit by a car. There’s something wrong with me, I swear haha. Sorry for this.
Dogs can pass cancer to each other, due to genetic similarity. A similar occurrence wiped out something like 75% of Tasmanian Devils recently. Seems like a fun misunderstanding of a real phenomenon.
Pervert Cancer from Dog Butts.
Ah yes, the notorious supervillain Cancer Dog, whose main power is casting 'pervert cancer' on his opponents.
🎶 Cancer Dog, Cancer Dog, leaves you in a pervert cancer fog! 🎶
Here’s another theory, these people know exactly how crazy this looks. There’s some kind of secret online community where they share these pics of their own vehicles with each other. Then they find where other people online post their pics and laugh about what the reactions are.

I shan’t claim this person to be reasonable, but u believe this is what he’ their referring to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_transmissible_venereal_tumor?wprov=sfti1
Damn, that was an interesting read before sleep.
But I still don't understand. Is it basically a mass of cancerous dog cells that just keep spreading around endlessly, nearly unchanged in the last ten thousand years? If so, can it even be considered a life form? Or a form of life at all?
It's called the immortal dog. Same thing is happening to tasmanian devils right now, the devil's tumor evolved in the 1980s and has been jumping from one devil to the next since then.
The interesting thing about the immortal dog (canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor, CTVT) is that is has continued to evolve and become an ever more efficient parasite. This is a stark reminder that evolution is something that happens to genes, not to organisms.
The cancer cells are genetic clones of some dog's cancer from 11000 years ago. Yes, they're alive similarly to how your and my cells are alive. The cells themselves live, die and reproduce asexually. I'd say they constitute life forms, but I'm no biologist.
I mean... there is an argument to be made that... genetically... hell, cladistically, the cancer is a dog. It's just... a very special one?
This absolutely stretches our understanding of what is a dog and maybe even what is a life form. Maybe we should start looking even at viruses as forms of life. In the end the only distinguishing factor might be if it has inheritable properties which are subject to evolution
Yeah, life is weird! Viruses are life forms in my view.

“How nature says “Do not touch””
I thought this was a “don’t dead open inside” but it makes no sense either way round.

Isn't there a community on Lemmy for this level of unhinged?
If not, we need one.
c/SchizophreniaMobiles or something

This is anti-dog propaganda being spread by cats.

I like to imagine this person taking the time to individually affix each of these letters to their Chevy Silverado

This guy gets it, try to really dig into your conclusions before investigating anything & anytime someone provides good reasons they aren't actually true. Get really belligerent and obstinate when someone traps you with 'logical reasons' or 'convincing evidence'. Then you too can maintain an irrational childish perspective through adulthood & never have to challenge your beliefs or learn anything even slightly uncomfortable.

I volunteered at a college food bank once, and one of the volunteers brought her dog along. A Muslim grad student who was a client was kinda amazed - was talking a bunch about how he’d never pet a dog before. (He did happily pet the dog.)
