    There is, an old friend of mine posted a ridiculous video about it on instagram…sure, there MAY be side effects to using sunscreen (not sunblock) that have turned up inconclusive in studies, but it has been proven that sunscreen and sunblock are VERY effective against skin cancer.

    It’s just like the “covid vaccines can have an extremely small possility of side effects so I’d rather get long covid and DIE!!”

      Jesus christ.

      You know I don’t honestly love wearing sunscreen. It’s greasy, it sucks.

      But you know what I like less? Being sunburned! Being sunburned is legitimately terrible!

      You know what I like less than being sunburned? Fucking CANCER.

      Wearing sunscreen is such a laughably low effort alternative to these horrible things that happen otherwise.

      People are so goddamned stupid it boggles the mind.
