I mean it looks shit, but if you actually have cancer and know you will probably die, then you might actually appreciate ways to make fun of your inescapable condition.

When my Mom was in hospice, they strung balloons and a banner on her birthday. She passed two days later. I was cathartic, but I sung happy birthday to her. Sometimes the absurdity can be a comfort when you're vulnerable.
So something I've always wondered is if it would be possible for a "stable" form of cancer to eventually metastasize an entire person, and then that person just becomes a walking living tumor but is entirely stable.
That is basically the origin story for Deadpool.
Cancer is by definition not stable, if it's stable it's just tissue.
I think that's like asking if a fire can burn down an entire house but end up remodling it. Isn't cancer defined by its destructive traits?
I mean, not exactly. Cancer currently kills us because it figured out a version of immortality that will currently outperform your cells.
It is theoretically possible for our cells to mutate in such a way that they have the specific genes that certain jellyfish have, allowing them to become "immortal" by not continuing ad infinatum, and instead having the cell "rebirth" itself like the legendary Phoenix.
Rather than what cancer currently does, which seems to be, a cell forgets how to die and starts replicating its mutated form out of control.
I wouldn't say 'outperform'... Cell death is a deliberate and desirable feature. Without it, we'd be unable to repair damage.
I was using outperform in the evolutionary sense. As in they stick around
That's how Ted Cruz was born.
Ted Cruz had better not be Deadpool.
Happy cake day!
No
There might be something wrong with me, but I've opened this up like 3 times absent-mindedly and chortled
There's something so stupid about buzz just saying "skin cancer" with the rest of the meme cut off
Cropped memes are a special kind of funny.
Like for example the one of Chuck Norris with the caption "urine as a beverage"
I just read all of them and they didn't even make me smile.
I guess cancer just isn't very funny than
I chuckled at the Eel with the "TUMOR" line but I have a dark sense of humor. A couple others made me smile.
