Do you know how to get reviewed and published? I have a paper on hamster piss

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 26 points 3 days ago

The "mental illness" and "plumber" categories can actually add up to be more than 100%.

Entirely seriously:

I once dated a person with diagnosed schizophrenia.

Obviously I cannot diagnose someone from their truck alone, but my first thought here is that this person is convinced their dog is being fucked with by their 'handlers' or 'gang stalkers', who have magic nonsense technology and tens of millions of dollars dedicated to fuck with him and his dog in particular, capable of using some kind of DEW to project thoughts and memories and voices into their had, beam cancer at their dog, etc.

... Or, that is my own CPTSD from having had a fairly longterm relationship with a schizophrenic talking.

I think it’s a poorly worded theory that dogs with colon cancer lick their buts and then lick you, giving you colon cancer.

Possibly they heard about the Tasmanian devils with cancer on their faces that spread by biting each other. Or possibly they know about HPV and cervical cancer and extrapolated from there.

It’s hard to say, but if they’ve had colon cancer and it’s been traumatic, I can understand wanting to get a message out. If you don’t have the education to do it other ways, mailbox letters on your truck probably make sense.

Haha that's great. What's your mother's maiden name just wondering? I love learning strangers family history

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My mother's maiden name was Smith, we had a family dog when I was young, the dogs name was spot, oh, and interestingly the last four of my SSN is 678. Weird right?

My favorite movie is 'From Justin to Kelly.'

A movie about finding love in an unexpected place .....Florida on spring break. It should give them pause.

Isn't there a community on Lemmy for this level of unhinged?

Cancer dog (kanker hond) is a very bad swear word in the Netherlands.

PEEVERT! NO DOGS, CANCER IN THE HOUSE!

[–] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] Gorge@lemm.ee 45 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

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.

Whoever keeps a dog, except a dog for herding livestock or a dog that is trained for hunting, will have two qiraats deducted from his reward each day.

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.)

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 23 points 3 days ago (4 children)

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.

Ah yes, the notorious supervillain Cancer Dog, whose main power is casting 'pervert cancer' on his opponents.

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.

The full quote didn't fit on the tailgate:

"While the general population is commonly exposed to animal viruses and bacteria, many of which are known to cause cancer in animals, the etiologic role of these exposures in human cancer remains speculative. For example, animal oncoviruses generally are species specific and do not infect or replicate easily in humans. Nevertheless, animal viruses conceivably may cause cancer in humans analogous to human and simian polyomaviruses causing tumors in non-permissive rodents. Epidemiologic studies to date have provided little evidence that animal viruses and bacteria cause human cancer. Future studies will need to address the complex nature of cancer taking into account multiple interacting risk factors, and perhaps a non-stationary stochastic risk that contradicts conventional research design. The latter may be especially true given the waxing and waning behavior of viruses and bacteria. The same infectious agent may present and react differently depending on a host of factors including geography, seasonal variation and climate, population density, and herd immunity. Travel, hygiene, and cultural variation in food consumption and preparation among individuals further complicate the epidemiologic study in this field."

This reminds me of working at KMart whenever the "tin foil hat" people would come in and ask if we had devices to "stop the government from hacking my TV".

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

To be fair, the government is definitely hacking our TVs.
