Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Natural selection was somewhat curbed with modern science advancement. I'm glad* to see it making a comeback.
* actually no, that's terrible
Cuba developed a lung cancer vaccine way back in 2015. The US began clinical trials in 2016, which are now in Phase II development as of 2023. I don't think it's crazy to say that we will make lung cancer a treatable condition in our lifetimes.
But that's not going to save you from the rapid onset aging, the yellow fingers, the foul breath, the ridiculous expense of modern cigarettes, or the fact that they taste like shit.
There's still a five-in-six chance nothing happens. Cigarettes make you disgusting to be around 100% of the time, guaranteed.
