Even after all that, it appears the top answers are "Gender surgery and puberty blockers".

Might be able to see some of the deleted comments here.

Just imagine if all Reddit mods were all locked out of their accounts for one day.

Chemo will still be the biggest. So many times it's given to people who have 3-6 months left to live and the are told that it might extend their lives a few months. A lot of people take it but the time they have lest is utter misery. I've always been of the mind set of quality over quantity.

I just had a second cousin who's husband was told he had a very aggressive form of cancer back in early December. He was told 3 months without treatment and maybe the summer if he takes chemo. He told them to stick it. He pasted away two weeks ago with really only the last few days any major issues and of those days the very last two he was unconscious. He was even cracking jokes right up until the end. I think he made the right choice.

It's interesting to me that radiation causes cancer and it's also the cure.

I reckon that Chemo will be viewed more like a very primitive and unsophisticated way to deal with cancer rather than outright quackery. It's a blunt instrument that was used when precision instruments didn't yet exist. A bit like using leaches. They aren't exactly smart in all circumstances and can kill you but doctors were trying to do the best they could with the knowledge and tools available.

Colonoscopy. I look upon it with disgust here in 2024.

Reddit is so astonishingly TRA, I wonder why I even have a user. They keep reminding me to buy shares before their IPO too - who the hell wants shares in anything run by TRA/woke? :D

I miss the days when people would post that cowboy emoji at Redditards who used "y'all".

Plastic surgery. I think we'll be able to go right to CRISPR to do what we want vs. chopping ourselves up to look younger or another gender.
