I don't mind if weird (derogatory) people are weird unless they're forcing those without a choice (e.g., their children) to participate. Or unless they're getting infected with something transmissible. If they want to drink "raw" water and get Giardia, or drink radium water and get throat cancer...

![https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_facial_tumour_disease
"Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) is an aggressive non-viral clonally transmissible cancer which affects Tasmanian devils, a marsupial native to the Australian island of Tasmania.[1][2] The cancer manifests itself as lumps of soft and ulcerating tissue around the mouth, which may invade surrounding organs and metastasise to other parts of the body. Severe genetic abnormalities exist in cancer cells—for example, DFT2 cells are tetraploid, containing twice as much genetic material as normal cells. DFTD is most often spread by bites, when teeth come"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7ph2lr6c6u23ui646z5n44nc/bafkreiakjxowj7372vs6sih6uf2xzqdcnixzjlkfnf2zmcwdsjmpvlck5i)

Nearly one-third of Lake Memphremagog's brown bullhead catfish are spotted with an inky-black cancer.
It’s a rare form of the disease. Tthis melanoma is not an abnormal growth of each fish’s own tissue. It appears to be a single cancer that has somehow spread from fish to fish.

Clams are important for studying the origins and mechanisms of cancer? There are at least 10 different lineages of transmissible cancers that can spread among different species of clams, making them critical for understanding cancers that affect other animals. (Like, uh, I dunno... humans!?)
