how is IRC cancer?
It's what the 'C' stands for. Internet Relay Cancer.
Everyone likes to cancer with their friends. Call them up on the 'phone to have a cancer.
Lots of contentious studies suggest this was totally a thing with some cellular technology! Lol
Yet those same fools go out during daylight under the sun, which can radiation burn your skin in minutes.
No. Worry about your microwaves and wifi and cellular phones!
There was absolutely nothing wrong with IRC.
Wouldn't mind if it were upgraded with some E2E goodness nowadays but otherwise...I kinda missed my chance to get it on it, I feel.
