Dajuan: Why is that version of the vine one second shorter?

(All watch vine)

Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes. They consist of repetitive sequences that vary in length between species and individuals. With each cell division, telomeres shorten due to oxidative stress and the inability of DNA polymerase to fully replicate them (end replication problem). Several means to lengthen telomeres have been observed; in humans, two methods exist: the telomerase enzyme and the recombination-based alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). Telomeres play a significant role in cancer development and stem cell aging.
90% of cancers activate telomerase as a telomere maintenance mechanism.

Toomer's Corner 

The intersection at Magnolia Ave and College St. in Auburn, AL. Divides "downtown" Auburn from the campus of Auburn University. Called Toomer's Corner because of the store named Toomer's Drugs, which is no longer a drug store but instead an Auburn souvenir shop that sells food and lemonade. Toomer's Drugs has been located at the corner of this intersection in Auburn for over 110 years. After major athletic victories, people gather here and roll an old oak tree with toilet paper, known in Auburn as "rolling Toomer's Corner". Many local bars are located around this intersection.
I have gotten way too many late night phone calls to go pick some drunk retard up from Toomer's Corner.

A name used to call-out and chastise those that deliver an unsolicited self-absorbed response to public complaints about injustice, social grievances, or other protestations that challenge the status quo.

Not liking what they're hearing, they're compelled to inject an adversarial voice into a conversation, often anonymously, without concern for being disruptive, causing confusion, or aggrieving those with differing opinions.

Their responses include but are not limited to: dismissive noise, diversionary whataboutisms, mind-blind dis-empathy, and logical fallacies.

The name also alludes to being cancerous, toxic, and being detrimental to progressive conversation by eroding social discourse.
"This dishonest cop is a part of the problem."
"Lots of people are dishonest not just cops."
"Found the Toomer."
