So... kids shouldn't have the right to their own personal expression, but they should have the right to give themselves cancer. Got it. Makes perfect sense.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 25 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Why would anyone listen to a person who looks like they got trapped in an air fryer?

When Kick Rock isn't rubbing off on him.

It's an endless stream of stupid old men with leathery skin rubbing on each other for some reason.

I hear he likes them underage. Some say that's statutory, but he says it's mandatory 🤢

[–] brem@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago

It's a union thang. His boss diddles kiddies so they all follow the leader.

Doctor Zoidberg

I dunno, dude. Zoidberg has an understanding of human anatomy that's tenuous at best, and a lot of his medical advice is completely disastrous. Honestly, if he were in a government health official position, I'm not sure he'd really do any better. Possibly much worse.

Kennedy’s action comes at a time when many adherents of his Make America Healthy Again movement have adopted regular sun exposure as a core principle of wellness, with social media influencers encouraging followers to abandon sunscreen and build up their “solar callus,” or sun tolerance, instead.

Even if this doesn’t give you cancer, it’ll make you look like a California Raisin. In one of Lab Muffin’s videos (chemistry PhD who makes educational videos about beauty/skincare product misinformation), she has a great photo of an older woman who has put sunscreen on her face but not neck for decades, and it looked like they belonged to two different people. Same if you’ve ever seen photos of old truckers that don’t use sunscreen on their window side arm.

TL;DR: UV radiation bad. Protect yourself from the giant nuclear explosion in the sky. If you don’t like sunscreen, use a sun jacket or anything long sleeved with a good UPF rating.

Sunscreen on face but not neck

Trucker

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 7 points 20 hours ago

Yeah these people have constant access to the internet yet are entirely unable to spend 4 seconds on it to look up picture of middle-aged highland folks who are working in the sun all day.

RFK = Skin cancer's best friend.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Wait. Does this fuck actually think UV doesn't cause cancer?

Or is he just, like, people have a right to give themselves cancer?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

These idiots are going to poison themselves with e coli, while mainlining horse dewormer (which won't do anything for the e coli), all while high on psychedelics and cooking themselves in a sunbed. I'm sure that will leave a lovely corpse although I wouldn't want to be the one that has to clean that up.

Though by the sound of it it sounds like they're going to render themselves extinct within a generation.

Plague doctors would have laughed at them for being so unscientific.

It's like his goal is to get as many people sick from as many things as possible. No vaccines, red meat heavy diet and suntanning beds. What's next cigarettes for kids?

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

What’s next cigarettes for kids?

To build up their lung callus, for when they'll get work in the coal mines.

his goal is to make people look like him, his skin all leathery from UV damage, or pleathery.

Sooooooo, trump I get. He's a narcisist. That's why he does the things he does. He's also putins bitch. So he tries to destroy america, because putin is obsessed with the cold war.

The rest of the crew are just desprate needy sycophants, who do nothing but try to gobble up as much attention and power as possible.

But RFKjr? Him I don't get. It's like he's an 80s saturday morning cartoon villain. He would fit right in alongside Cobra, or CLAW, or being one of Jokers henchmen.

I'm honestly expecting him at some point to encourage people to drink bleach.

[–] badcommandorfilename@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

He's just really fucking stupid.

Ok. Tanning beds are cancer machines for everyone. The enablement is a consequence of allowing sun beds in the first place - this doesn't change much honestly.

Also, what groups are cleared here? Teenagers? Children? There is a lot of ambiguity in that news site.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

withdrew a proposed FDA rule

rule that would have banned minors from using devices that mimic sunlight

The rule, which was withdrawn March 16, would have also required indoor tanning facility users to sign a form acknowledging the risk of cancer, early skin aging and other health effects.

Misleading title.

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

They're probably thinking "a nice tan will make children even more fuckable!"
