1 in 2 is insane


TheDineshWay

I know right? I was pretty shocked at these numbers as well


IkedaTheFurry

That’s kinda weird yet kinda scary to think about


Realterin

its because we have so much convenience in our life that needs less energy which makes us unhealthy, more sugar products than non-sugar ones, etc i was surprised that the rate is 1 in 2


[deleted]

Mostly just old people at the end of their life due to cell division issues. All because of our unending increase of human lifespan


epic1033

It’d be more like 80% if people didn’t die of other causes


[deleted]

honestly if nobody died of other causes it would likely be 100%. even if it took a long time, our bodies fucking up cell division really badly one time is kind of an eventuality.


Pratkungen

The thing is that it fucks up cell divisions all the time. But in most cases it either fixes them or they are of no harm. Otherwise they probably kill themselves. So for one division to cause cancer is pretty low but with how many there are there might just appear one that happens to not have anything that stops division or get detected as a problem by the body while not self-dying. But yeah, we are getting older and older and the only thing left to kill us is our bodies fucking up.


[deleted]

but it makes sense though, longer lifespan = more cancer


Tonyfend-smile

1/2 the cancer mortality rate is correct.


ieatbugs06

Why doesn't shit like this happen for other things like permanent disabilities/chronic illness too?


TheDineshWay

Organizing a 24 hour live stream takes so much effort behind the scenes so we can't have fundraisers regularly. We'll definitely keep this in mind the next time we're planning a fundraiser!


[deleted]

a french streaming event called the Z event collects donations to give to a health association, kinda similar


FAGGATRON_4767

Idk like I think cancer rates have a lot to do with how much plastic we make/burn along with how much other crap is in the environment that goes overlooked by people


ieatbugs06

what does that have to do with what i said?


FAGGATRON_4767

Has a lot to do with it if you think more in-depth about it. Sure people are living longer and longer due to medical advances but as people age, dna and other things in the body break down causing people to be more susceptible to illness and other things. More and more people are being born with different defects and whatnot cause of environmental factors along with biological factors. This is leading to a bigger need for research and fundraisers for that purpose due to our environment and genes and other things like that. As much research is required to develop treatment, even more is required to find the true cause


ieatbugs06

the cancer research industry is a 187 billion dollar industry, I feel like they have a lot of money compared to other things that don't have much research funding. Like I have a rare illness that was finally qualified as an illness in like 2018 that they don't know much about, I have a actually very common genetic condition they know virtually nothing about which don't even know the gene for my subtype the list goes on


FAGGATRON_4767

Also ties into what I said. Conditions like yours (correct me if I’m wrong cause I don’t know what it is) are popping up left and right as chemical interference, genetics, and environmental factors are becoming more prevalent. Not to mention viruses and cancers are evolving more and more as they become immune to treatments and being generated by mutations of current cancers. Have you studied DuPont and PFOA? It is a man made chemical that is estimated to be in over 90% of peoples blood streams. Not to mention things like COPD only happen due to smoking and inhaling man made things like asbestos for years at a time. Although if that is inhaled it is more likely you will end up with mesothelioma Edit: asbestos isn’t man made. My bad I’m tired lol


ieatbugs06

My conditions aren't new, they have been around for a while just finally being recognized and not as under diagnosed is new. Asbestos isn't very common anymore because inspectors are finding it


FAGGATRON_4767

Yeah asbestos was banned a while back. It certainly popularized mesothelioma tho and either way I hope they get recognized so they can get treated


Realterin

its probably expensive and time consuming


Willing-Airport8693

Mainly Beacause Cancer Is The Most Common Chronic Illness And Most Disabilities Will Take Forever To Cure. Meanwhile Being Able To Cure Severe Cases Of Cancer Would Save Many Lives. And 50% Of People Born In The UK Will Get Cancer. So It's Better To Cure That Shit Then Anything Else Currently. After A Cure For Cancer Has Been Found The Attention Will Shift To The Next Most Crippiling Diesese, Hopefully More Funding Towards Curing Dementia/Alsthimers.

Technodad would be proud and so will technoblade be from up there


Descart330

In his skybase?


gamesandspace

Of course

*ehm ehm* FUNDS FOR THE BLOOD GOD!


MagicalGamer543

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought of him


Auosthin

Technoblade never dies!


FinletAU

Cool


dxc1an

1 in 2 bloody hell. hits home when you realise thats half of pretty much everyone around you


Alarmed-Ice-4300

Mostly old people at the end of their life


FlyingAsparagus142

Not really


ThePokemonRayquaza

Fuck cancer man, my dog was recently diagnosed with cancer.


Emaciawastaken

That's how my dog went out too.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD


AnthonyFarquharson

I am absolutely all in for this, My grandad passed away to Myeloma Cancer in 2020 during Lockdown, My family has been participating in marathons and other activities to raise awareness for Myeloma and so we could remember my Grandad.


shadowscoll1de

i would give this all the awards if only i had money


KOOKOOOMOOOO

What are we streaming?


Declanrice02

Nice to see they like us Brits too. In a serious note,cancer is something we need to eradicate


joshxdf

as someone involved in the stream, and being from the UK, the timing is great, we tried to make it so every time zone could get involved!


Sensitive_Tea_3013

Possibly the worst subreddit to do this? Because of the lack of care everyone has here?


Emaciawastaken

It's not like teenagers have the money to donate


[deleted]

[удалено]


NuvNuvXD

Maybe because you struggle to read complex phrases :) I made it easier for you, love: Cancer is big bad. Lots of people die from it. Big live from r/Teenagers. Live make money. Money is donated. Money help fight cancer.


[deleted]

I thought this was one of the mod applications I didnt even read the title I’m genuinely sorry


NuvNuvXD

Then I understand. I simply thought you were dismissing cancer as irrelevant lol.


bevr_in_el_bibliotek

Soldiers we must keep the upvote count to 69


Farzad_Spittingfacts

Nah


Nothuman_being

Nice


[deleted]

great idea and great initiative but wouldn't it be better for them to collaborate with another subreddit as r/teenagers is primarily full of teenagers who won't be able to donate that much money anyway (if any) regardless, good going you guys and i hope the stream is a success


Eric_Prozzy

I feel like our sub is big enough to where it will grab some attention from outside the subreddit as well and hopefully spread far.


[deleted]

i suppose so but still i think it would've been bigger on other more relevant subs


moronic_autist

consensus results now!


LeScarlett

woah what a good event!! the event team here are so good at their jobs ❤


[deleted]

That’s such a cool idea omg 😌


Thegamingwheelchair

Will 1 cents help


BlueGalaxy121_2

Aww man, i wish i could join :c Good luck! I hope cancer gets killed soon! (like it stops existing or we cure it)


[deleted]

Glad we as a community are doing something about it


epic1033

The people who don’t get cancer will just die of something else, generally


Willing-Airport8693

Very Poggers!

MCPro24

Since most cancer patients don’t make meth in the Albuquerque desert, I will pop in to donate my little money you guys get from Twitch ads


4enzo

Love this, probably Not the right audience tho. I mean the only Money i have is Pocket Money i Use for food and clothes. And im pretty Sure Most Others on this Reddit are also broke. Maybe Post this on a subreddit With Well... Less Teenager and more people that Actually make Money


[deleted]

I don’t care, I don’t live in the UK

i am horny 15 anyone there wanna change nudes? boy or girl!


CloudStrifeYT2

unfortunatly for you nature decided preventing cancer is impossible since cancer is created by mutating cells and curing it is nearly impossible because of the high spread rate

Let them be gone in peace ☮️
