A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Cancer is just cells reverting back to their original evolution before multi cellulars existed. (lemm.ee)

Edit: I think I hit a lot of nerve on some people but here is my thinking, a cancer acts like a single cell because the very first cell stops functioning with the benefit of the host it's more into itself. Some cancer will live outside the body can be cut and still multiply ain't that a behavior of a single cell? E.g. Henrietta Lacks another is CTVT.

Not right. Cancer is not about cells reverting . It’s about uncontrolled growth due to genetic mishaps.

They’re rule-breakers, not time-travelers.
