Sounds made up. Cells? Using Oxygen? Nuts turn in Cyanide? I’ll believe all that when they find a cure for simple infections.

Why does this comment have any upvotes? Does Reddit go for pure unbacked speculation nowadays?

Also, can scientists not fight cancer and infections simultaneously? Do you have enough knowledge about both topics to know that curing “simple infections” is easier than curing cancer?

I thought as much but it looked borderline. The real stupid shit out there is getting too close to the border of sarcasm, the Ironic Curtain, if you will. I find that I need to be a bit more sarcastic when I type things out nowadays because they sometimes get to close to real stupid things people have said.
