    I know this would deeply upset the X (the everything app ™️) people to learn, but human skin pigmentation, the thing they use to determine worthiness of life, is basically tied directly to adaptations to protect us from sun burns and DNA damage caused by them. Damage that can lead to… cancer.

    I dunno, I just find that amusing. They’re denying the sun causes cancer, meanwhile humans separated across continents literally adapted, changed skin color, as a result of the thing they don’t believe is real.

    (And yes I know skin pigmentation also causes changes in vitamin D synthesis. It’s kind of a balancing act between synthesizing vit D and protecting cells from UV radiation. But these dingdongs probably don’t understand or accept any of this, so, 🤷‍♂️ )
