A bacterium from the intestines of Japanese tree frogs has "exhibited remarkably potent" tumor-killing abilities when administered intravenously, outperforming current standard therapies and paving the way for an entirely new approach to treating cancer.

TL;DR - Ewingella americana is a git microbe which when injected in mouse veins preferentially accumulates around oxygen starved environment, that is a rapidly divided tumor. it also brings immune response around tumor, so your immune system learns to fight it. Still in Mouse phase. but toxicologically safe so could be done in human soon. almost no major side effects (just inflamation)

    by itself absolute immorality is a worse torture than anything that doesn’t include absolute immortality. not sure if you want to count it as a modifier or as a torture in itself.

    I think at this point we’re just arguing semantics, and arguing semantics is also a form of torture

      youre torturing me that you cannot see that what you said is provably false and you even said as much. the worst form of torture imaginable is decidedly not immortality lmao i can imagine so much worse shit than that

        The amount of suffering when you spend the first Googleplex years in complete dark vacuum will likely be worse than whatever you can imagine.

          nope i can imagine the first googleplex years worse than just existing for those. for example, spending them trying to explain to you how easy it is to imagine something worse. or spending them feeling unimaginable pain the entire time while unable to “get used to” the pain

            are you saying that punishment will only last a googleplex years? what about the following googleplex times you do nothing but feel the vacuum of space for a googleplex years? better to only spend that time suffering then not exist anymore than exciting forced

              it will get googleplex to the power of googleplex worse every second for eternity. times a million. for a million eternities times infinite googleplex eternities. and for every eternity it will get twice as bad in half the amount of time, halving the amount of time for it to double after every doubling

                wrong. if you have your future last an eternity, then it’s mine.

                you had torture. mine was immorality, without immortality your torture would end, eventually, likely in the first 50 years. you are just describing my torture.

                  wrong i am describing eternal torture while also being immortal just to prove to your pea brain that there are much worse forms of torture imaginable than immortality

                    the only reason that it’s worse than mine, it’s because you included mine.
