Isn't the red ribbon HIV/AIDS awareness?

[–] manxu@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

AFAIK it's the OG ribbon!

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Yes, this list seems odd. There are also ribbons for things like Autism Awareness:

Autism Awareness Ribbon

Why is just “Lung-cancer” hyphenated?

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ask whatever random image I found on the internet

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I asked the image, all it said was "Lung-cancer."

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Well there you go then

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Soon to be the leading cause of death for 18-20 year olds in your area!

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nope, my area is in the US, where it's guns by a long shot.

[–] waz@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago

Long shot, I see what you did there.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

So military industrial cancer for that last one.

"I got a brown one. You know what it means? Eat shit, mother-fucker!" <- George Carlin

Well, not exactly. Red is for HIV/AIDS awareness, and green is for mental illness (although it was also used to symbolise "good AIDS" on an episode of Brass Eye in the '90s, which has obviously aged poorly).

"What do you have?"

"Childhood."

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not sure why I should put the violet ribbon anywhere. Would feel weird, like an attempt to collect sympathy points.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

They all are

[–] dataprolet@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

I love my yellow "Bombing the shit out of every Islamist cancer"-ribbon.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Oh my god I totally forgot about those stupid fucking fascist yellow ribbons.
