How Many Sunburns Can Cause Skin Cancer?

Dumdeedum says...

I'm fine with promoting sunscreen use, though the video does trigger one of my statistical pet peeves when it says "80% increased chance". It's a scary figure, but also meaningless unless you know what your chances were before.

For example buying two lottery tickets instead of one increases your chance by 100%, but you're still not gonna win.

The REAL Reason You're Circumcised

Dumdeedum says...

As I recall the study that said circumcision reduces HIV was horribly flawed - the group that was circumcised was told to abstain from sex during healing and if not then to use a condom and taught in their use, while the uncircumcised group were just left to their own sexy devices.

Ultimately though this isn't a debate about science, I've been in multiple debates about it on the internet and it's always circumcised people saying it's good and uncircumcised people saying it's bad. Sure, there's occasionally lumps of science in the mud being hurled back and forth, but mostly it's just mud.
