General Ripper may have seen the influence of communism in the form of water fluoridation and its corruption of our “precious bodily fluids”, detected in the form of an overwhelming tiredness resulting from The Act Of Love.

Good thing TikTok wasn’t around at the time or he’d had even deeper concerns, as possibly revealed by a rather unusual event that happened recently to an American doctor:

I’m a gynecologist with a medical practice in Athens, Georgia.

As with many medical practices, we have found TikTok to be a good outlet for providing helpful medical information. Because our gynecology practice focuses primarily on perimenopause, problem periods, and PMS symptomatology, our content covers these subjects in some detail. 

Last August I posted a two-minute video explaining why a subset of women experience bothersome diarrhea around the time of their menstrual cycles (here). This video went viral, quickly accruing 13 million views, 344,000 likes, 91,000 shares, 8,200 comments, and 120,000 saves. 

🤢🤢🤢
The one thing my IT education never prepared me for, even as the Internet was glimpsed, was it being dominated by cat videos and multi-billion companies created on the back of people’s need to share much of their personal lives with total strangers.

Nevertheless, what was even more extraordinary is that a significant percentage of the 8,200 commenters said, “I’m literally sitting on the toilet right now, and this video pops up!” or words to that effect.  

As we all know, when 8,200 individuals are “commenting” on something, there are between 100 times and 1,000 times as many who have the same thought but don’t care to comment.  Hence, we can infer that hundreds of thousands of women were shown this video while they were sitting on the toilet. 

How did such an obscure subject go viral?? He offers up two possibilities:

  1. TikTok’s mathematical algorithms identify users interested in a diarrhea video based on other videos they’ve watched?
  2. TikTok is collecting personal content from the cellphones’ cameras, recorders, text messages, emails, menstrual-tracking apps, and so forth that enable relevant videos to be served-up?

Of course had General Ripper been using TikTok he might have been quite happy to have it direct him to the nearest sources of fresh, pure, distilled water and pure grain alcohol and never questioned why?
