wouldn't sun tanning lessen your chance of sun cancer because the sun kills the cancer cells? amirite?

If I was Anthony, I'd embed a large facepalm picture in this comment. Alas, I'm not, so .

A cancer cell is a cell that undergoes mitosis before it's completely mature. Cell division of cancer cells occurs so rapidly that it overcrowds healthy cells, hence a tumor. What the sun does when you tan is mutate your skin cell's melanin so that you become darker. Benign cancer cells actually occur somewhat often when this happens. Because the sun is literally mutating your cells, malignant cancer cells, though somewhat rare, can become present and cause skin cancer.

If that didn't make sense, ask yourself why we wear sunscreen. It's a different idea, but similar.

for your own safety and everyones sanity, please stay indoors while the sun is out.

My god, I think you just found the cure to cancer. You should win a noble prize, and when you do, I will be there telling everyone how I knew you when you were still just an 'Anonymous'.

Oy vey -_-

"Sun cancer"? I didn't know the sun could get cancer...

Really? You forgot to capitalize the "a" in "Anonymous? Now that's just unintelligent right there.

And kids this is why we don't do drugs!

yeah its as effective as preemptive radiation therapy .

Just like how God keeps the leaves on trees.
