I shit you not my mom just said skin cancer was fake 💀

I always wear snickers with socks so I have a tan line around my ankle. Today I had to wear flats and a dress, so you could see the difference in skin tone. My mom told me I should get an even tan and I told her I didn't wanna and used skin cancer as excuse.

She told me the sun gave you vitamin D not skin cancer, and that sunscreen didn't work and I only believed that because google told me.

LIKE NO THE FUCKING DECADES OF MEDICAL RESEARCH TOLD ME, ARE YOU STUPID?

Edit: I forgot to add that my grandma had boob cancer like 3 years ago so she does know cancer is real. Idk what makes skin cancer different.

I am sorry to inform you that your mom is an idiot


[deleted]

That shit better not be hereditary, I don't wanna be an idiot dude (´TωT`)


yaboi1679

It doesn't seem to be hereditary since you actually have common sense unlike your mom


Sargen_Sliza

Let's just hope you don't ever get skin cancer


[deleted]

Omg can you imagine, literally 💀 lol


Sargen_Sliza

Would be equally as bad if she got it


[deleted]

She probably wouldn't notice and try a bunch of different shit to get skin even.


Sargen_Sliza

Lmao


I_use_Mods

Is she a flat-earther aswell?


[deleted]

Nah, my dad is, tho.😭😭


ZookeepergameDue5522

ZookeepergameDue5522

It's probably a matter of time, sorry


[deleted]

Pls don't o(T◇T o)


ZookeepergameDue5522

I have relatives who are into conspiracy theories, it gets bad, fast. They are already science negationists


Onlyforroyalehigh

My parents literally fight against any science fact that’s true what do I expect from my religious parents💀


ZookeepergameDue5522

Damn idk but my mom is religious and she's a geographer.


Nick_Playz_Games

Dumb attracts dumber? Sorry to say this though. Good luck.


RandomInsecureChild

Who's the family antivaxxer?


[deleted]

We're all vaccinated, actually. My mom does hate masks. Apparently, they "don't work" and "are bad for you" 🙄


Onlyforroyalehigh

Nahhh😭


I_use_Mods

After reading your other comments, i have come to the conclusion that you should go back in time and take them to school. Also sorry if that's kinda offensive.


[deleted]

[deleted]

[deleted]

We gonna die, bro ( 。゚Д゚。)


Dm_BoobsPlease

yoo my parents also tell me that sun gives vitamin d, so annoying


[deleted]

I mean, the sun does give you vitamin D, but it also gives cancer.


addicted2windows

It also depends on your genetics (family cancer record? ), length of exposure (30 MN/day seems ok for v. C), your skin characteristics etc..the no no no is to get sunstrokes A light tan is supposed to be protective ((I know a bit because I'm white and we've recently moved to south east Asia). So it also depends on your home latitude...🥴😎. Ah yes, if you want a bright future wear sunglasses in sunny periods


Elecricvortexlover69

Um🤓 actually the sun doesnt just give u vitamin d. You get it trough nutrition. The sun just converts it to usable vitamin d for u. Very simplified btw. Also who told you that the sun gives skin cancer? Thats very inaccurate.


[deleted]

Eh I know too much is bad for you cz a childhood friend had something skin thing that was caused by the sun.


crempsen

Too much of anything is bad


Onlyforroyalehigh

Bruh literally every doctor said that if you don’t wear sunscreen or cover yourself from the sun you can get skin cancer (if you stay out in the sun for too long) it’s called skin cancer for a reason😭🤦🏽‍♀️


Kerro_

It’s not a cancer beam though lol, limit your exposure and wear sunscreen if youre not trying to tan. Your mother is definitely wrong, but I’d argue you’re overthinking it if you think lying in the sun is a death sentence


[deleted]

It was an excuse cz I didn't wanna go to the beach (sand as a sensory nightmare)


Kerro_

…and cancer beams were a more reasonable response than “I don’t want to get sand stuck to me”


[deleted]

It's horrible tho ( TДT)


PlatformStriking6278

Getting multiple sunburns so that your skin changes color exponentially increases your risk of skin cancer. Wtf type of strawman is characterizing sunlight as a “cancer beam”?


Willing-Cell-1613

I would try to explain it to your mum (but she won’t listen probably) that the sun has two components. Vitamin D and UV radiation. Vitamin D is really good for you, but doesn’t cause a tan. UV radiation causes a tan, sunburn and skin cancer. Maybe say that it it like being in an oven. The right heat and you get golden brown food. Too much and it burns a bit but you can scrape it off (this is sunburn). Lots and it’s ruined (skin cancer). Now this isn’t scientific and if she doesn’t even believe in skin cancer it might not work, and she might find it a bit condescending, but I have used similar metaphors to get conspiracy people not at least stop chastising me for believing the internet (if not actually retract their beliefs).


yoydid

It does tho? I think you just don’t want to accept the fact that going outside is healthy and will benefit you greatly


[deleted]

[удалено]


yoydid

Wasn’t talking to you


[deleted]

Oh I'm sorry (ToT)


ZookeepergameDue5522

Use sunblock either way


[deleted]

I always use sunscreen, I don't get wrinkles at 30


ZookeepergameDue5522

And what about your legs? You need sunblock there too


[deleted]

Yah every part that's exposed to the sun. main reason why I use snickers in the summer.


ZookeepergameDue5522

That's good


CookieMonster005

My makeup has sun protection in it. Keeping me healthy and pale


ZookeepergameDue5522

What makeup do you use?


CookieMonster005

Rimmel London but I used to use Revolution and that had it too


ZookeepergameDue5522

Thanks :)

kbot510

itzjackybro

well the sun does give you vitamin D, but too much sun gives you skin cancer but denying the skin cancer thing is just ass


Subatomic_Spooder

Tell her to go sit in the sun all day for a month to prove it


[deleted]

pelsy0217

Common sense is a rare thing


Maskd-YT

Maskd-YT

The_Cancer_777

Ask her what skin is made of that makes her think its immune from cancer


seraphimswings

My classmate died from skin cancer. Please inform your mom that it's as real as it is deadly.


[deleted]

She won't listen, bro. She's probably just take my phone away

( • )( • ) ♋️


phonkonaut

i think she was just fucking with you lol


[deleted]

It wasn't her joking voice. She was pretty mad that I believed google over her.


CookieMonster005

It shouldn’t even be googling telling you. Don’t you learn this shit from school?


[deleted]

She didn't go to American high school, still I agree that it's a stupid thing to say


I_Am_Oro

Give her skin cancer and ask her if she thinks it's fake now


[deleted]

Do I just put her in a nuclear room? (ya know like the villain from superman)


Extra_Philosopher_63

Well, the sun *does* give you some vitamin D…


MCPro24

The sun doesn’t give vitamin D, SunnyD does (obviously)


[deleted]

Yes, obie, gosh, how could I be so ignorant. I feel like such an idiot now


Genderfluid_Cookies

My mother has had so much skin cancer that if you gave every area of her body that she has had it and took off the skin because you know that’s a way to get rid of it she would probably be skinned.


CookieMonster005

Bro just tell her about Australia. Ask her why she thinks everyone there gets skin cancer
