    I’m guessing their dog happened to get cancer shortly before a human loved one did and we’re seeing what happens when you mix deep depression with honest stupidity.

    The prevalence of bumper stickers on cars correlates with mental illness.

      Naw, a bunch of stickers of bands, states visited, funny shit, or 4wd trails is cool. (Like ok maybe they have ADHD like me or something). A bunch of political bumper stickers is someone who probably needs to ignore the news for a while.

      But custom applied lettering forming unhinged screeds is, more likely than not, a condemnation of the government’s failure to provide readily accessible treatment for mental illness.

    I will never understand the impulse to plaster your car with your life philosophy. Obviously this is another level, but even the stick figure families or whatever are kind of weird. Some of it is sensitive information that you’re just shouting out into the world.

    For example, there’s this person I see around my town whose license plate is “2HOUSES”. So you’re advertising to potential thieves that you’re rich enough to afford 2 houses and that you’re definitely not currently at either of them. Incredibly stupid just for the vanity of it, but you’re also and just making a target of yourself.

      They googled tongue, but not nose, pervert, etc.

      You’ll see shit like “industrialization” right next to something like “thu”… Ain’t nobody googling how to spell the easy stuff…

      I don’t think they did, they just left some space between no and se. You can see through the glass behind it.

        Nah, zoom in. The “i” in “NOiSE” is the same as the “i” in “WiHT” and “THEiR”

          Wow you’re right. Why on earth did they only lower-case “i“?

    In all fairness to them, dogs do have themselves a type of transmissible cancer known as CTVT (or TVT), but last I knew it’s not transmissible to humans, and it would be very difficult for it to become so.

    Of all the diseases you could worry about getting from your dog, cancer is not one of them.

    Someone should let them know cancer isn’t contagious.

        Thats interesting, I had no idea that was a thing. Just goes to show that the most well understood theory could have exceptions.

          It’s rare in mammals but it happens.

          Transmissible cancers are passed between individuals by the transfer of living cancer cells. These diseases are rare in nature. Among mammals, only three transmissible cancers are known, affecting dogs and Tasmanian devils. Several transmissible cancers have also been identified in marine bivalve molluscs, including various species of clams, cockles and mussels.

          It’s not transmissable to humans though, so not sure what the truck owner was on about.

        is spread by tumor cells getting passed from dog to dog

        Indeed, but no mention of dog-to-human transmission.

        There’s also the infamous Tasmanian Devil facial tumour disease. It is also transmissible, mainly because a population bottleneck has reduced the genetic diversity of Tasmanian Devils to the point where their immune systems have trouble telling each other’s cells apart.
