That’s not quite what cancer is.

Cancer is when a cell’s DNA is damaged and it starts behaving badly. Monstrously huge generalization, but that part is right. But the key is that the damaged DNA results in uncontrolled cell division (mitosis)! That’s what causes cancerous tumors. It’s not really that the cells stop doing their job, though they do stop doing their job, but it’s mostly that they grow uncontrollably and destroy the surrounding tissue.

That being said, yes, we could fix some genes. However, cancer is hugely complex. It’s not really one thing, even; It’s just what we call the outcome of a very unfortunate sequence of DNA damage. Some specific kinds of cancer, maybe, could be helped with this.

Maybe we can help prevent cancer by changing some genes, in particular cases, even. But curing cancer, at least thru CRISPR gene editing, doesn’t seem, to me, to be viable.

Oh, and about the telomeres! That’s not all that aging is, for one, and the way it works isn’t even totally clear. It’s just not that simple!

If I ever meet a witch, I will be mean to her. I want to be a frog…

somewhat reminiscent of the french flag

What the heck… G-- Good luck…

I hate birthdays so I hoped to do nothing. My parents didn’t quite respect that, but they didn’t do much, thankfully… Just a small “party”, nothing very memorable, thankfully.

Good luck with the embodiment of greed over there lol And happy birthday!

this is really good

Oh alright lol Thanks !

Is it the authentic Denny’s experience, though? It is that bad? I have no cultural context for Denny’s.

Does Squidward’s smile on the last panel imply that getting your pancakes shat in is the authentic Denny’s experience?

OK, so, this is funny, but would you actually be willing to pay for that?

I’m a world-class penny pincher, but this seems to be such an absurd waste of money that it genuinely baffles me. I do get spam calls occasionally, but it’s not even that bothersome. Usually, if they’re not on my contacts list, I don’t even pick up.

Why is this such a deal that you’d be willing to pay?! What kind of calls are you even getting?!?!

Yeah, I feel like every other park I’ve ever been to has had a peacock…

NP :D

Ah, I see, you’re probably right! Thanks.

Truly Satya’s cave…

Also, is that a typo in Proprietary? And why is there a pepper?!

Zing!

I got mine yesterday, actually.

Now, every flat or curved surface I look at is instantly overwritten with ads! It’s lovely, let me tell you. No more white walls, no more blue sky, no more white clouds. Truly, my world has gone from the dull to the endless creativity of marketing departments the world over! I couldn’t be happier.

Brilliant reply!

HIIIIIGHLY conspicuous… What is that owl doing there… Suspicious…

Bat to the head.

Yeah, it is nice.
