Reply to TIL that one of the few positive health effects of smoking is a drastic reduction of a person's risk of thyroid cancer. According to a Korean study of the health records of over 10M people, smokers have a 36% lower risk of thyroid cancer. Smoking and heavy drinking reduces one's risk even more. by EncyclopediaJake
Thyroid cancer is rarely deadly and is often operable. Lung cancer, not so much.

Reply to TIL that cats are more vocal with humans than with other cats. by Everyusernametaken1
I have a cat who will literally follow me around meowing in different tones and lengths until I sit down so he can nap in my lap.
He does this at night too, except he just stands on the stairs until I go to bed.
He's obviously in charge.
