Dogs can pass cancer to each other, due to genetic similarity. A similar occurrence wiped out something like 75% of Tasmanian Devils recently. Seems like a fun misunderstanding of a real phenomenon.

Cancer Dog ^turd^
Here’s another theory, these people know exactly how crazy this looks. There’s some kind of secret online community where they share these pics of their own vehicles with each other. Then they find where other people online post their pics and laugh about what the reactions are.

This is the only scientific journal I follow.
"Proceedings from the Dog Turd", Elsevier, annual subscription cost: several arms and legs
Do you know how to get reviewed and published? I have a paper on hamster piss
All you need to get published is a Silverado, some stickers, and someone with a first grade understanding of the English language. The review in this case comes after the publication.

I shan’t claim this person to be reasonable, but u believe this is what he’ their referring to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_transmissible_venereal_tumor?wprov=sfti1
Damn, that was an interesting read before sleep.
But I still don't understand. Is it basically a mass of cancerous dog cells that just keep spreading around endlessly, nearly unchanged in the last ten thousand years? If so, can it even be considered a life form? Or a form of life at all?
The cancer cells are genetic clones of some dog's cancer from 11000 years ago. Yes, they're alive similarly to how your and my cells are alive. The cells themselves live, die and reproduce asexually. I'd say they constitute life forms, but I'm no biologist.

I like to imagine this person taking the time to individually affix each of these letters to their Chevy Silverado

I thought this was a “don’t dead open inside” but it makes no sense either way round.
There must be some kind of logic here. Wrong as it may be. Like he loved his wife but he hated her dog. Then the wife died of colon cancer, and he blames that they let the dog in the house after it was out sniffing other dog butts.
Fuck it's RFK's replacement.
Nice try cats
Did he spell "nose" wrong?
Oh fuck, that makes so much more sense!
I was like "What? What do they do with their noise tongue? What are they and what are they doing with them? I need answers!"
Those are the things you blow on new years. (Don’t make this a sex thing…)
And the word “cance” directly below “house”, and “wiht their butt”…
This reminds me of when I was about 8 years old. I read online that vaccines are bad, and fluoride in the drinking water was part of some evil plot. I told everyone about it and it took about a day for me to realize how wrong I was. I was embarrassed for a while, but every time I see something like this I feel so lucky I developed critical thinking before it was too late.

Ah yes, the notorious supervillain Cancer Dog, whose main power is casting 'pervert cancer' on his opponents.
🎶 Cancer Dog, Cancer Dog, leaves you in a pervert cancer fog! 🎶
What the fuck
Untreated mental illness
Setting aside cancer dog, 95% of the time when I see this lettering on a vehicle I know it's probably mental illness.
The other 5% is probably the best plumber in town
For sure. I see one in my town occasionally:
LIBERALS ARE DEMONIC
🙄
Hell yeah 😎🎸
The "mental illness" and "plumber" categories can actually add up to be more than 100%.

Pervert Cancer from Dog Butts.
“How nature says “Do not touch””
Thanks for the warning I guess? If only they'd used some of those letters to name their peer-reviewed scientific source for that information
Works cited is just a list of license plate numbers from similar trucks.
the links to those probably start with www.facebook..... and their "peers" have reviewed them.
