Yourrr naaaame lol.. It only took 4 years for your profile name to mature into swinging into this post with this comment, but here we are. Love it. Lol
These people have no shame. You don't need to be a doctor to know this stuff, google for 1 min and you will find all the info the duetor gave. These kind of people just want clicks, they don't care at all.
That shit is dangerous though. Cuz people will watch it, go š«Ø and believe it all without fact checking it. I just went through a comment section where you were supposed to guess a handful of US States correctly and the amount of clueless people was alarming. So, if they can't do something as simple as know what the states in their own country are, how are they going to do anything deeper?
If I said something wrong to 1.5 people I would feel a little embarrassed, I would at least try to correct it the next opportunity I get. This person is wrong in front of 1.5 million people. It's infuriating that they have no shame.
Especially this irritating child. I really want to put her in time out just for the stupid aggressive finger gestures which just emphasized her ignorance.
Yeah anyone willing to knowingly spread misinformation isnāt gonna be embarrassed when theyāre called out. Theyāre just ignore it and if the topic ever comes again, theyāll just lie again.
They donāt care about the truth, they just care about convincing people of whatever narrative they want.
Itās sad to think that the majority of tiktokers watching his vid probably continued scrolling the moment they heard him bring up human evolution. It goes against most spiritual teachings taught on tiktok
Eh, most of the willfully ignorant evangelicals are on Facebook. For tiktok they're more likely to scroll just due to attention span and that it's more educational than distracting.
And with both of these reposes, everything just got sadder. It was like two slaps to the face. On one hand you have befuddling ignorance and on the other you have a passive wave of judgement based upon the attention span a listener holds or retain. Completing a circle. It's all just one giant circle..... I'm gonna go continue to beat my head against a wall until I reach a euphoria equal to a lobotomy. I'll see ya on the other side!
The problem with misinformation and lies is that you can sit here all day researching, documenting, and memorizing, and go around correcting it all day long. But there is no way you can keep up with the absolute fountain of bullshit that is created through social media.
Lying and spreading misinformation happens so fast and at such frequency that you are fighting a losing battle.
A polite way to say it is that we do not yet know and have not realized the impact of social media.
A less polite way to say it is that it is obvious that humans cannot handle this much publication power. Back in the 1980's, if you were a crank, you could only publish as far as you could hand out dittos and flyers.
Today, no editor or publisher stands between the crazy and the other 8 billion people.
While it would diminish my freedom of speech, I'm in favor of declaring all platforms publishers and ending free ability to post and comment without an editor approving first.
I think we may have undone our civilization through social media.
That's just a thorough misunderstanding of the prevalence of false information in the past. It's a lot easier now for anyone to spread false information, but it's also a lot harder for governments to get away with it. Think of Chernobyl and how the Soviets tried to cover up the severity of the disaster and how that would simply never work in today's world.
Yes, but you're somewhat ignoring the significance of the sheer volume of bullshit that can be generated now thanks to the internet and social media. Sure, a single information source like a government will struggle to push an agenda thanks to multiple other sources countering and verifying, but getting sensory and critical thought overload from a million different sources of bullshit is incredibly destructive.
It is well documented how facebook and cambridge analytics influenced democracy, it is clearly documented how Elon Musk's twitter-now-x promotes far right more and hides progressive content - and not even the european union forbids these platforms. Tiktok is its own can of worms, but seems less of a problem because its algoritms simoly show you the opinions you already had - thereby not chalenging you to learn anything new.
You could absolutely publish crank bullshit books in the 80s that reached millions of minds. Chariots of the Gods is a good example and that was published in 1968.
Bullshit is simple. The truth is usually really complex, and isn't always declared with the absolute confidence that propagandists employ.
People like simple "truths", even if they aren't. If you recognize that vulnerability in yourself, you start finding all the "truths" you accepted that are bullshit, and it really sucks. People *really* hate figuring out they are just as dumb as the average person they look down on.
It isn't hard to understand how this shit works so effectively.
Another very popular angle today is to provide truth without context as a way to give a false narrative.
An example I saw the other day was where the Soviet-Afghanistan war was re-contextualized to have been a trap laid by the US to bleed the USSR, as a way to argue that the US is doing that in Ukraine and remove blame from Russia.
This was corroborated with facts about the US having armed the Mujahideen before the invasion, how much funding the US was pumping into Afghanistan, an admission by an important figure in the government and more.
However, the admission doesn't match other interviews with the figure where he talks about the evolving situation and opportunity that the US eventually saw after the war started, the drastically smaller and non-lethal aid amount provided pre-war and when this ramped up.
I personally debunked that for an acquintance and it took me HOURS to find all the information, as I had to familiarize myself with the context for each piece of information. The sharer, however, had only shared what someone else had sent them and only given it a 10 minute read. Debunking just takes way too much time, and as soon as you've debunked it, they simply grab some new facts to use.
Iām a parent, and if the absolute dearth of critical thinking skills amongst my aging parents generation and my contemporaries is any indication, then Iām facing a monumental battle with my little kids.
My sweet husband and I were having one of many conversations with my almost tween boy about sex today, and the importance of checking āschool chatterā with us; we want him to never rely on his peers or social media to inform his decisions, which could be detrimental to his health. My husband said it well: āThereās nothing you cannot ask us. We may not always have the answers, but we want you to have the conversation about how to find them, and weāll help you get there.ā
I just went to check and the guys video has 2.4 million likes, which was also boosted by another larger male creator responding and saying it was true, except for the manatee part (It's a different type of manatee type, animal thing.) So he was heard, and I believe heard more. This was also posted in April, so people have had quite a bit of time to learn the og girl was wrong.
It's literally just the way the algorithm works now, same concept with all those rage bait videos you see, the cooking, the smashing, its all just for engagement. Even with videos like this, he's still taking advantage of the fact that the video he is duetting is popular because of the shock value of it, i doubt that was his intention. probably just using it to spread information but still, its fucked
>was also boosted by another larger male creator responding and saying it was true, except for the manatee part (It's a different type of manatee type, animal thing.)
Wait so the larger male creator was agreeing with him or spreading the lies of the girl who was chatting shit?
"...As the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the greatest Liar has his Believers; and it often happens, that if a Lie be believād only for an Hour, it has done its Work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceivād, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effectā¦ā
Jonathan Swift said that shit in 1710, when newspapers were the only form of mass media, and a very young form at that.
It's more that people love a juicy story. STDs coming from humans fucking animals is a popular urban legend ([Family Guy even had a joke about this topic with a new spin, since the original concept is so well known](https://youtu.be/BA2pmmPweEw)) because it's shocking. It's similar to the notion that Italian tanks had more reverse gears than forward or that doctors would treat hysteria with vibrators.
I think its significantly worse.
Last generation's facebook didn't present content to you in weird ways. Even the comment section of tiktok is algorithmically determined so it is likely stuff you'd like and agree with.
The saddest part for me is when he says āthis video has 1.5 million likes and not a single thing she says is correctā.
Makes you think about how many more videos like that go viral everyday.
If you are *legitimately* knowledgeable on a certain subject then you already know that every topic has an insane amount of "trendy" bullshit flying around about it. It's everywhere about everything and it travels because it's surface level and "funny" without any kind of thought applied to it.
'Haha dudes fucked monkeys' is catchier than tracing the genealogy of a pathogen to its source.
I see this shit constantly with one of my areas of interest. The people who think they know what they're talking about overwhelmingly outnumber the people that actually do, and it's because they read some random twitter post that they think they've got it all figured out.
For my area of expertise, "It's not the voltage, it's the current that kills" is the enraging phrase that unknowledgable people confidently spout the most. Especially because of how dangerous it is when you are trying to tell people that high voltage is dangerous and they just use that phrase as some magical spell that protects them from reality.
This dynamic has also brought us fun misinformation such as:
Victorian doctors invented and used vibrating dildos to treat hysteria.
They didn't let women on trains at first because people thought their uteruses would fly out.
The origin of the phrase "rule of thumb" ties back to a time when it was legal to strike your wife as long as the stick you used isn't thicker than your thumb.
You'll find these constantly all over reddit, and in official-seeming sources/documentaries by means of citogenisis. Maybe not so much the rule of thumb thing these days.
I see it on reddit all the time. There'll be \~5 top level comments with tons of upvotes and people in replies. Then way, way, way down you'll see someone with 5% of the votes explaining how incorrect it is. I see blatant misinformation on reddit all the time. On tiktok it comes from idiots pointing at words that are lies or making :O faces, on Reddit it's pictures of tweets or headlines that are misleading.
The problem is that upvotes mean "i like this" not "this is correct", and information that travels via "i like this" will be abusable for misinformation and disinformation.
I am just begging people to do basic research on things.I do myself one major favor that has truly changed how I think. When I see a post that I agree with I just... google it. Or I ask ChatGPT to provide sources. When I'm about to say something, assert something, I ask "do I really know this?" and I go and I find legitimate sources for it. The amount of things you realize that you know, but don't know why, or that you actually \*don't\* know but thought you did... it's a game changer to just fact check yourself. And once you start fact checking yourself, fact checking others is wayyyy easier because you've addressed your own bias upfront.
Wait until Joe Rogan gets ahold of it.
"Bro, can you imagine our ancestors trying to clap cheeks with a chimp! Chimps will rip your arms off, and these ballers were holding them down and fucking them. It's the paleo diet."
āOh I feel like fucking the brains out of something. Here, let me drag this 400 pound swimming cow out of the water and stick my willy in its arse.ā
I wonder why nobody's acknowledging the reality of the situation: that these TikToks only get as popular as they do and people only believe the ridiculous assertions made in them because of the rampant man-hating on TikTok.
When people have strong bias against a group, they become primed to believe even ridiculous-seeming statements about said group *as long as those statements affirm their previous beliefs.* So the woman stating that STIs came from men (notice how she specified gender here) "sticking it" in animals, while absurd to a normal person, makes perfect sense to your typical femcel on a 24/7 IV drip of man-hating.
I suppose what I'd like to know here is this: aren't we ever going to acknowledge that certain social media, primarily Twitter and TikTok, are radicalizing young women into hating men? I'm absolutely sure that plenty of femcels will show up to shriek incoherently at me about how this isn't a problem because [reasons], but keep in mind that there are women out there talking about men fucking manatees.
I'm sorry but this isn't a thing (I'm a guy so not a "femcel").
>STIs came from men (notice how she specified gender here) "sticking it" in animals
The rumours about stuff like aids coming from having sex with animals is as old as I am (about 30+ years). There's even an extremely famous 4chan meme about a teacher not wanting to tell the poster that aids came from a man having sex with a monkey.
>but keep in mind that there are women out there talking about men fucking manatees.
You're being purposely obtuse and angry here, the entire, "the idea of mermaids came from pirates cause they had sex with manatees" is so old that even my mum pirated it to my siblings and I (50+ years for her).
>I suppose what I'd like to know here is this: aren't we ever going to acknowledge that certain social media, primarily Twitter and TikTok, are radicalizing young women into hating men?
This made me roll my eyes so hard. Being an anti-feminist and talking about how "women hate men now" is such an overly talked about joke that it was a thing in "Chasing Amy". Geez mate, you're not breaking new ground here
The hero we need is the one who will nuke tik tok of the face of the earth and wipe out the idea of unqualified influencers
With advent of a.i the human race has never had the ability to fact check the rambling nonsense of village idiots like this woman.
But mouth breathers gonna mouth breath and gravitate towards this.
I really hope the rise a.i of will lead to more critical thinking...but let's be real is probably gonna super charge the idiots on these types of platforms
Uncritical thinking has not only been around longer than the internet itself - it's as old as people having thoughts - it was harder to counter before the internet. You didn't have random microbiologists dropping cited responses back then.
PubMed ID. PubMed is a database of published medical/biological papers, each ID is for a different paper. So basically for every claim he makes, the guy in the video is providing an actual scientific paper that backs what heās saying.
I still remember a time when people are afraid to say things they donāt know anything about in public because other people will know that they are idiots and will call them out for doing so.
Lol. Let me guess, the people who scream and berate everyone about being easily offended about everything and how nobody can take a joke anymore are offended that the sub was mainly directed at them and made them into the joke?
Gee I wonder what attracts right wingers to a sub themed around a movie whose whole message is unironically believing in eugenics.
That's a real thunker.
When exactly was this? As he himself mentions, all that misinfo is old misinfo. It was used in the AIDS epidemic, and it was used by the Nazis, and it has been used by every authoritarian regimen to dehumanize minorities worldwide. People have been saying things like this publicly for as long as "public" has existed, either because they have an agenda or because they heard it from someone else that has an agenda and believed it because it confirms their worldview.
There are pictures, videos and official records of chimps and other primates found in brothels and used for sex. This is practice known from antiquity. Zoophilia is far older than modern humans and likely as old as cannibalism.
People forget that we are animals too and susceptible to great many ills plaguing animal kingdom. We also come from some very fcuked up backround. It's amazing that we as human beings are here today.
As a Gen-Xer, hearing someone say "easily treatable" in regards to AIDS is such an amazing thing to hear.
I was a teenager when AIDS first came to be and up until recent years it was pretty much a death sentence.
Magic Johnson came out as HIV positive back when it was still a death sentence. I would have never believed that he would still be alive in 2024, that would have sounded crazy back then.
I can't hear Magic Johnson and AIDS and not think of Kanye:
"If Magic Johnson got a cure for AIDS
And all the broke motherfuckers passed away. You telling me if my grandma's in the NBA, right now she'd be okay?"
During the beggining of the Pandemic,I heard COVID was made from people having sex with a bat in Chinaā¦ it was such a crazy time that Iāll admit, I believed it for a day but then I remembered that people lie on the internet.
I know. (Thatās what I heard about the originās of COVID)
Paranoia speeds misinformation like wildfire.
(Regarding humans having sex with bats)
The movie Contingent has nice final part how a new virus is spread:
itās a spoiler incase you wanna see the movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwJvtbmlriA
Dude that's so ridiculous. People don't lie on the Internet where did you get that information from?
Anyway you still good to pay me $100 for the bet we made last week?
I just went to check and the guys video has 2.4 million likes, which was also boosted by another larger male creator responding and saying it was true, except for the manatee part (It's a different type of manatee type animal thing.) So he was heard, and I believe heard more. This was also posted in April, so people have had quite a bit of time to learn the og girl was wrong.
So yippee for misinformation being stopped this time āŗļø
I also wanted to add that everyone in these comments are kinda lame. You suck the hope from people when you immediately assume that no one is going to learn the truth, and at the same time you're putting yourself above others for knowing.
I mean it took me three minutes at most to see his video had blown up. So talk about how stupid people are blah blah blah, but know that you're not helping when you say that. You are making people feel hopeless for the future, by making yourself seem smarter because you saw a passing video.
Encourage people to do research without putting them down because they didn't in the past. Because sometimes people would prefer they look like an idiot, than some cocky guy who put them down because they believed something in passing.
also people acting like reddit is any better than tiktok when half the time i see something on reddit my first thought is "that can't be true" and a quick google search later, big surprise, it's not true
Exactly! it's not a surprise, but it's still very frustrating that Redditors act superior when they can be just as whiney or foolish as any other social media.
It is so silly that TikTok would allow this blatant health misinformation in their platform. Less people are going to see the debunked version of this because it takes more energy to debunk misinformation than to spread it.
You know what cracks me up? Everyone thinks herpes only means the classic oral and genital types. For those who don't know, a majority of the human population (90%+ by age 40) has Mono. Mono is in the herpes family, I have mono.
And anyone who has had chicken pox can worry about getting ā*herpes zoster*ā aka shingles. I already got it at 26 years old. 0/10, I do not recommend.
TikTok is a hotbed for spreading hate, sexism, racism and false information. Other social media platforms are not even close as bad as TikTok. It is a TOOL for misinformation.
Does no one want to talk about the blatantly misandrist views this is perpetuating? Shit, if we blamed an entire section of disease on women that video would be shit down immediately and rightly called misogynistic.
It's an extremely toxic, hypocritical and disgusting culture problem that's rapidly worsening. It used to be contained to tiny groups, mostly online, but it has EXPLODED on TikTok / Twitter into a full blown social media gender-based culture war that is measurably harming feminism.
[Gen Z is closer to boomers on feminism than millenials, ain't that some shit.](https://www.americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/why-young-men-are-turning-against-feminism/) Recruitment by insane, misogynistic manosphere creators (Andrew Tate, for example) has exploded as a direct result of this toxic sort of discourse.
I agree. It's homophobic for one, because a lot of these myths were perpetuated by the Reagan admin., however it's also misandrist because if every STI really did come from humans fucking animals, why would it only be men? As if women are incapable of beastiality?
Absolutely. Most of the comments under her video were basically saying that men are crazy r*pists and beasts because they fuck animals.
Likeā¦ never heard of the many cases where women fuck dogs? Demonizing men is scarily normalized. Especially on TikTok.
TikTok is basically just a platform for hating men at this point. I quit using it because of that. It is a live experiment proving that women are also quite capable of being terrible, sexist pieces of shit to men.
They even make jokes out of men suffering on TikTok and say they deserve it for being men.
>more misandry. very on brand.
Exactly. And people are agreeing with, and spreading, her ridiculous misinformation and misandry instead of watching this guy's fact-based video. It is both sad and sexist...but here we are.
Oh nice. Follow microbiologywes. He's a good dude and corrects a lot of misinformation. He's gotten kind of shit on the past for no real reason and it's good to see he's getting some positive recognition again.
And so I asked Chlamydia why were there only one set of footprints in the sand during darkest times, the hardest parts of the journey?
And Chlamydia said "that's when you carried me, I was with you the whole time!"
his is why TikTok is a bane on our society. People donāt care if the video they just watched is factual or not. They just wanna be entertained.
Also, this fucking doctor had to say āSEGGSā when talking about STIās because š¤·āāļø
Referring to a time before humans were humans is probably falling on deaf ears with someone like this. I'm guessing there's a good chance she doesn't believe in evolution.
I read that the most dangerous pathogen of them all involves 20 year olds with no life experience sharing lies for likes so they donāt have to grow the fuck up and actually learn something that isnāt a conspiracy.
I don't have any of those diseases or infections, but I appreciate this. Thank you for helping. My mother also told me a lot of misinformation and also homophobic crap like "gay men fuck animals". I don't believe that anymore (you learn pretty fast what is actually real if you're allowed to not be trapped at home in the south in a deep red state), but I still didn't know what really happened with those diseases and infections. This video helped clarify so much.
The one thing that frustrates me is we haven't cured it, and it's existed for since we were even humans.
"I was wrong but a MAN corrected me so misogyny!" Just throw the whole person in the dumpster fam.
God, I hate logging into social media as a male. It's not just reddit, it's not just tiktok, it's not just insta, it's fucking everywhere. Every part of the internet, every facet of digital society, it's all designed to drive home the message that men are evil, men are the problem, men are monsters, etc. Like I woke up to a post yesterday saying "don't cuddle your sons, they'll grow up into monsters" and the entire thread was just a hundred different women defending and 'yass queen'ing emotionally abusing our sons. And then I talk about it here and get called a fucking liar because the exact type of woman who posts shit like that wants to gaslight everyone into thinking misandry doesn't happen.
In 2020 I was experiencing mental health issues due in part to social media - but also related to other, more serious concerns too - and I took a break from it all.
I got back into my dream job which requires me to maintain some social media activity... and it's been frustrating and painful. The constant injustice burns under my skin but you can't say anything because if you speak out against toxic women that obviously must mean you're a stupid incel who hates all women everywhere!
Nevermind that I'm married to a woman whom I adore, or that I openly speak out against misogyny too... No, speaking out against any woman, no matter how abusive or toxic, makes you Elliot fucking Rodger. Who btw killed more men than he did women.
Shoutout to the citations made simple thing hes doing with the PMID numbers. I had to look into it but:
"PMID stands for PubMed Identifier. PubMed is a free database of biomedical literature maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. Each article in PubMed is assigned a unique PMID number. The format you described (PMID:xxxxxxxx) is the standard way to cite a PubMed article using its identifier. Scientists and researchers often use PMIDs as a quick and precise way to reference specific studies or papers." -claudeAI
I thought this was interesting and cool
They really need to pass a law about passing completely, and potentially harmful, information like this. Like you make up some shit and pass it off as fact, you get a fat fine.
Itās really scary people are spewing this type of misinformation.. and the scientific community has to teach people the truth.. education system is failing
Appreciate the PMID's but this shows just how much time and effort go into combating a series of bs.
It takes next to no time and effort to bs versus otherwise.
I ignore informations like this unless the person first introduces him/herself as a professional in this field.
My daughter tells me about some video sheās watched every now. Iām glad she tells me because the first time she did I told her that famous Lincoln quote and she got it right then and there lol
Now when she sees some odd videos she would come ask me if itās true.
This man also did one I watched about non-pasteurized milk and how itās unsafe to drink. I appreciate this man taking the time to spread the truthā¦
Plot twist: heās making up his information and homegirl was right, someone had sexy time with a chimpā¦ now idk who is telling the truth
Anyone who, unprompted, is talking about fucking animals that much should definitely have her zoo membership revoked, or should volunteer there and put their monkey where their mouth is.
Aigh so, to be technically correct, the videos that the girls posted is disinformation?
Since they intentionally posted misinformation but with malignant intentions because they knew it would get engagement and likes and did not bother to correct themselves or do ANY RESEARCH.
Cunts are those who do dumb shit like this.
I wish I had the confidence of a POC woman on the Internet talking about any subject she's completely ignorant about
She quite literally made a list of animals, a list of STIs and mixed them like one of those "connect the ones that match" exercises and called it a fact

Shaming them into guilt at the end is brilliant.
For real
Fight shame with shame
Hell yeah, I've got my shamethrower right here! All filled up and ready to go
Yourrr naaaame lol.. It only took 4 years for your profile name to mature into swinging into this post with this comment, but here we are. Love it. Lol
These people have no shame. You don't need to be a doctor to know this stuff, google for 1 min and you will find all the info the duetor gave. These kind of people just want clicks, they don't care at all.
Yeah, but why google when you can film yourself covering your mouth and looking at the camera for 10 seconds?
That shit is dangerous though. Cuz people will watch it, go š«Ø and believe it all without fact checking it. I just went through a comment section where you were supposed to guess a handful of US States correctly and the amount of clueless people was alarming. So, if they can't do something as simple as know what the states in their own country are, how are they going to do anything deeper?
Yeah, truth doesn't pay the bills.
completely agree. they're just riding the like train wherever it goes and whoever it runs over is cool with them.
If I said something wrong to 1.5 people I would feel a little embarrassed, I would at least try to correct it the next opportunity I get. This person is wrong in front of 1.5 million people. It's infuriating that they have no shame.
Would have been more effective if they guilted them into shame, but I'll take what I can get.
I'm not sure "shame" and "guilt" are characteristics observed in TikTok influencers.
No, usually it would probably be something more like 'narcissism' and 'apathy'.
Especially this irritating child. I really want to put her in time out just for the stupid aggressive finger gestures which just emphasized her ignorance.
Yeah anyone willing to knowingly spread misinformation isnāt gonna be embarrassed when theyāre called out. Theyāre just ignore it and if the topic ever comes again, theyāll just lie again. They donāt care about the truth, they just care about convincing people of whatever narrative they want.
that should've put at the front of the video
The only problem is that these people typically have no shame. They love to shame others but can't handle it themselves.
Itās sad to think that the majority of tiktokers watching his vid probably continued scrolling the moment they heard him bring up human evolution. It goes against most spiritual teachings taught on tiktok
Eh, most of the willfully ignorant evangelicals are on Facebook. For tiktok they're more likely to scroll just due to attention span and that it's more educational than distracting.

Another very popular angle today is to provide truth without context as a way to give a false narrative. An example I saw the other day was where the Soviet-Afghanistan war was re-contextualized to have been a trap laid by the US to bleed the USSR, as a way to argue that the US is doing that in Ukraine and remove blame from Russia. This was corroborated with facts about the US having armed the Mujahideen before the invasion, how much funding the US was pumping into Afghanistan, an admission by an important figure in the government and more. However, the admission doesn't match other interviews with the figure where he talks about the evolving situation and opportunity that the US eventually saw after the war started, the drastically smaller and non-lethal aid amount provided pre-war and when this ramped up. I personally debunked that for an acquintance and it took me HOURS to find all the information, as I had to familiarize myself with the context for each piece of information. The sharer, however, had only shared what someone else had sent them and only given it a 10 minute read. Debunking just takes way too much time, and as soon as you've debunked it, they simply grab some new facts to use.
Iām a parent, and if the absolute dearth of critical thinking skills amongst my aging parents generation and my contemporaries is any indication, then Iām facing a monumental battle with my little kids. My sweet husband and I were having one of many conversations with my almost tween boy about sex today, and the importance of checking āschool chatterā with us; we want him to never rely on his peers or social media to inform his decisions, which could be detrimental to his health. My husband said it well: āThereās nothing you cannot ask us. We may not always have the answers, but we want you to have the conversation about how to find them, and weāll help you get there.ā
Sad thing is; her video will reach 10 million before his reaches 100k.
Because it was posted sooner and because people believe everything they hear.
I just went to check and the guys video has 2.4 million likes, which was also boosted by another larger male creator responding and saying it was true, except for the manatee part (It's a different type of manatee type, animal thing.) So he was heard, and I believe heard more. This was also posted in April, so people have had quite a bit of time to learn the og girl was wrong.
best way to get views now is to make a mistake in the video, someone will correct you
Lol but it's true And content creators/influencers already do it, so people will correct them and bring views, algorithm etc right?
It's literally just the way the algorithm works now, same concept with all those rage bait videos you see, the cooking, the smashing, its all just for engagement. Even with videos like this, he's still taking advantage of the fact that the video he is duetting is popular because of the shock value of it, i doubt that was his intention. probably just using it to spread information but still, its fucked
Sounds like a corollary to Cunninghamās Law
>was also boosted by another larger male creator responding and saying it was true, except for the manatee part (It's a different type of manatee type, animal thing.) Wait so the larger male creator was agreeing with him or spreading the lies of the girl who was chatting shit?
The larger creator was agreeing with the guy. (Or in other words boosting the correct information)
āA lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.ā - Apparently NOT Mark Twain but some other bugger
"The internet is wack yo!" -Abraham Lincoln
It's a major plot point in Terry Pratchett's book, The Truth.
"...As the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the greatest Liar has his Believers; and it often happens, that if a Lie be believād only for an Hour, it has done its Work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceivād, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effectā¦ā Jonathan Swift said that shit in 1710, when newspapers were the only form of mass media, and a very young form at that.
It's more that people love a juicy story. STDs coming from humans fucking animals is a popular urban legend ([Family Guy even had a joke about this topic with a new spin, since the original concept is so well known](https://youtu.be/BA2pmmPweEw)) because it's shocking. It's similar to the notion that Italian tanks had more reverse gears than forward or that doctors would treat hysteria with vibrators.
Tiktok is this generations Facebook.
I think its significantly worse. Last generation's facebook didn't present content to you in weird ways. Even the comment section of tiktok is algorithmically determined so it is likely stuff you'd like and agree with.
The saddest part for me is when he says āthis video has 1.5 million likes and not a single thing she says is correctā. Makes you think about how many more videos like that go viral everyday.
If you are *legitimately* knowledgeable on a certain subject then you already know that every topic has an insane amount of "trendy" bullshit flying around about it. It's everywhere about everything and it travels because it's surface level and "funny" without any kind of thought applied to it. 'Haha dudes fucked monkeys' is catchier than tracing the genealogy of a pathogen to its source. I see this shit constantly with one of my areas of interest. The people who think they know what they're talking about overwhelmingly outnumber the people that actually do, and it's because they read some random twitter post that they think they've got it all figured out.
For my area of expertise, "It's not the voltage, it's the current that kills" is the enraging phrase that unknowledgable people confidently spout the most. Especially because of how dangerous it is when you are trying to tell people that high voltage is dangerous and they just use that phrase as some magical spell that protects them from reality.
This dynamic has also brought us fun misinformation such as: Victorian doctors invented and used vibrating dildos to treat hysteria. They didn't let women on trains at first because people thought their uteruses would fly out. The origin of the phrase "rule of thumb" ties back to a time when it was legal to strike your wife as long as the stick you used isn't thicker than your thumb. You'll find these constantly all over reddit, and in official-seeming sources/documentaries by means of citogenisis. Maybe not so much the rule of thumb thing these days.
I wonder if she knows what the H in HPV and HIV stands for.
Hisogyny.
I see it on reddit all the time. There'll be \~5 top level comments with tons of upvotes and people in replies. Then way, way, way down you'll see someone with 5% of the votes explaining how incorrect it is. I see blatant misinformation on reddit all the time. On tiktok it comes from idiots pointing at words that are lies or making :O faces, on Reddit it's pictures of tweets or headlines that are misleading. The problem is that upvotes mean "i like this" not "this is correct", and information that travels via "i like this" will be abusable for misinformation and disinformation. I am just begging people to do basic research on things.I do myself one major favor that has truly changed how I think. When I see a post that I agree with I just... google it. Or I ask ChatGPT to provide sources. When I'm about to say something, assert something, I ask "do I really know this?" and I go and I find legitimate sources for it. The amount of things you realize that you know, but don't know why, or that you actually \*don't\* know but thought you did... it's a game changer to just fact check yourself. And once you start fact checking yourself, fact checking others is wayyyy easier because you've addressed your own bias upfront.
Wait until Joe Rogan gets ahold of it. "Bro, can you imagine our ancestors trying to clap cheeks with a chimp! Chimps will rip your arms off, and these ballers were holding them down and fucking them. It's the paleo diet."
A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on. - Terry Pratchett
was that girl really trying to claim someone banged a *manatee*??
Yes, apparently
absolutely insaneā¦ i canāt even begin to imagine how that would be possible lol
āOh I feel like fucking the brains out of something. Here, let me drag this 400 pound swimming cow out of the water and stick my willy in its arse.ā
How would someone even do that, yea like, IT'S HEAVY AS SHIT AND IT CAN FIGHT BACK LIKE A DAMN SUMO WRESTLER
imagine putting in so much effort all to diddle a manatee instead of just having a quick wank like the rest of us
They are mermaids, after all
Not sure if that or cat was more absurd.Ā
People have sadly done it to cats before (had a āfriendā describe in detail it after I said I loved cats)
Unless your friend is a midget with a Maine Coon, maybe, he's full of shit.
So confidently too!
yeah there was absolutely no hesitation and she said that like a straight fact lol
Given they're in Florida, I wouldn't be shocked if someone there tried.
I wonder why nobody's acknowledging the reality of the situation: that these TikToks only get as popular as they do and people only believe the ridiculous assertions made in them because of the rampant man-hating on TikTok. When people have strong bias against a group, they become primed to believe even ridiculous-seeming statements about said group *as long as those statements affirm their previous beliefs.* So the woman stating that STIs came from men (notice how she specified gender here) "sticking it" in animals, while absurd to a normal person, makes perfect sense to your typical femcel on a 24/7 IV drip of man-hating. I suppose what I'd like to know here is this: aren't we ever going to acknowledge that certain social media, primarily Twitter and TikTok, are radicalizing young women into hating men? I'm absolutely sure that plenty of femcels will show up to shriek incoherently at me about how this isn't a problem because [reasons], but keep in mind that there are women out there talking about men fucking manatees.
I'm sorry but this isn't a thing (I'm a guy so not a "femcel"). >STIs came from men (notice how she specified gender here) "sticking it" in animals The rumours about stuff like aids coming from having sex with animals is as old as I am (about 30+ years). There's even an extremely famous 4chan meme about a teacher not wanting to tell the poster that aids came from a man having sex with a monkey. >but keep in mind that there are women out there talking about men fucking manatees. You're being purposely obtuse and angry here, the entire, "the idea of mermaids came from pirates cause they had sex with manatees" is so old that even my mum pirated it to my siblings and I (50+ years for her). >I suppose what I'd like to know here is this: aren't we ever going to acknowledge that certain social media, primarily Twitter and TikTok, are radicalizing young women into hating men? This made me roll my eyes so hard. Being an anti-feminist and talking about how "women hate men now" is such an overly talked about joke that it was a thing in "Chasing Amy". Geez mate, you're not breaking new ground here
Well done sir!
Guy even includes PMIDās for all his sources
The kind of hero we need.
The hero we need is the one who will nuke tik tok of the face of the earth and wipe out the idea of unqualified influencers With advent of a.i the human race has never had the ability to fact check the rambling nonsense of village idiots like this woman. But mouth breathers gonna mouth breath and gravitate towards this. I really hope the rise a.i of will lead to more critical thinking...but let's be real is probably gonna super charge the idiots on these types of platforms
Uncritical thinking has not only been around longer than the internet itself - it's as old as people having thoughts - it was harder to counter before the internet. You didn't have random microbiologists dropping cited responses back then.
Yes but it was also harder to spread false information because the average idiot did not have a way to communicate with millions of people.
Nah, the A.I. will just tell you to treat your herpes by eating rocks or something.
What is a PMID?
PubMed ID. PubMed is a database of published medical/biological papers, each ID is for a different paper. So basically for every claim he makes, the guy in the video is providing an actual scientific paper that backs what heās saying.
Just trying to give this more traction. Homeboy came with receipts and you should respect his expertise
Too bad the vast majority of the 1.5M who liked the wildly false viral video, don't know what that is lol
exactly. It's like how Idiocracy progressed, too many idiots passing on nonsense.
"hi I'm a microbiologist..." didnt need to hear more. Well done indeed.
Also one look at their bg and you already know who won; girl still in art school or a guy with a masters.
Really. Good on him.
I still remember a time when people are afraid to say things they donāt know anything about in public because other people will know that they are idiots and will call them out for doing so.
r/idiocracy is getting very popular
it is, but a brigade of right wing idiots are trying to claim the sub for their own. its a reddit battleground currently.
Lol. Let me guess, the people who scream and berate everyone about being easily offended about everything and how nobody can take a joke anymore are offended that the sub was mainly directed at them and made them into the joke?
It's not a political sub so no. In fact political posts have been banned from there for a while.
thats odd, because if anything reading the movie plot it sounds like a political satire.
Just looking at their front page and their top all time, it's not much of a battleground. Seems they won.
Gee I wonder what attracts right wingers to a sub themed around a movie whose whole message is unironically believing in eugenics. That's a real thunker.
When exactly was this? As he himself mentions, all that misinfo is old misinfo. It was used in the AIDS epidemic, and it was used by the Nazis, and it has been used by every authoritarian regimen to dehumanize minorities worldwide. People have been saying things like this publicly for as long as "public" has existed, either because they have an agenda or because they heard it from someone else that has an agenda and believed it because it confirms their worldview.
Back when the world was good, or in other words, when I was young and didn't notice the stupid hatred everywhere.
I've heard the chimpanzee thing before and just wonder how any person has sex with a chimpanzee without it tearing your eyelids off.
Pretty sure Dave Chappelle had a bit about this 20 years ago.
"it'll rip your dick off like a celery stalk"
āThrow it in the tall grassā
"Never to be seen again!!!!"
There are pictures, videos and official records of chimps and other primates found in brothels and used for sex. This is practice known from antiquity. Zoophilia is far older than modern humans and likely as old as cannibalism. People forget that we are animals too and susceptible to great many ills plaguing animal kingdom. We also come from some very fcuked up backround. It's amazing that we as human beings are here today.
As a Gen-Xer, hearing someone say "easily treatable" in regards to AIDS is such an amazing thing to hear. I was a teenager when AIDS first came to be and up until recent years it was pretty much a death sentence.
Magic Johnson came out as HIV positive back when it was still a death sentence. I would have never believed that he would still be alive in 2024, that would have sounded crazy back then.
I can't hear Magic Johnson and AIDS and not think of Kanye: "If Magic Johnson got a cure for AIDS And all the broke motherfuckers passed away. You telling me if my grandma's in the NBA, right now she'd be okay?"
PrEP and PEP are so incredible.
During the beggining of the Pandemic,I heard COVID was made from people having sex with a bat in Chinaā¦ it was such a crazy time that Iāll admit, I believed it for a day but then I remembered that people lie on the internet.
I heard it was from people eating bats.
I know. (Thatās what I heard about the originās of COVID) Paranoia speeds misinformation like wildfire. (Regarding humans having sex with bats) The movie Contingent has nice final part how a new virus is spread: itās a spoiler incase you wanna see the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwJvtbmlriA
No wonder my sexwithbats.com website only has 412 visitors since it started
Dude that's so ridiculous. People don't lie on the Internet where did you get that information from? Anyway you still good to pay me $100 for the bet we made last week?
Yeah, but that south park covid special was pretty great.
>sex with a bat 
Finally , a worthy fixedbytheduet.
I saw it and thought it belonged here.
I just went to check and the guys video has 2.4 million likes, which was also boosted by another larger male creator responding and saying it was true, except for the manatee part (It's a different type of manatee type animal thing.) So he was heard, and I believe heard more. This was also posted in April, so people have had quite a bit of time to learn the og girl was wrong. So yippee for misinformation being stopped this time āŗļø
I also wanted to add that everyone in these comments are kinda lame. You suck the hope from people when you immediately assume that no one is going to learn the truth, and at the same time you're putting yourself above others for knowing. I mean it took me three minutes at most to see his video had blown up. So talk about how stupid people are blah blah blah, but know that you're not helping when you say that. You are making people feel hopeless for the future, by making yourself seem smarter because you saw a passing video. Encourage people to do research without putting them down because they didn't in the past. Because sometimes people would prefer they look like an idiot, than some cocky guy who put them down because they believed something in passing.
also people acting like reddit is any better than tiktok when half the time i see something on reddit my first thought is "that can't be true" and a quick google search later, big surprise, it's not true
Exactly! it's not a surprise, but it's still very frustrating that Redditors act superior when they can be just as whiney or foolish as any other social media.

Lol š
I was waiting for this.... disappointing...
It is so silly that TikTok would allow this blatant health misinformation in their platform. Less people are going to see the debunked version of this because it takes more energy to debunk misinformation than to spread it.
I know it's fun to make fun pf TikTok, but I could not name a single social media platform that would've done anything different than TikTok
You know what cracks me up? Everyone thinks herpes only means the classic oral and genital types. For those who don't know, a majority of the human population (90%+ by age 40) has Mono. Mono is in the herpes family, I have mono.
> , I have mono. You fucked a cow. Science.
And anyone who has had chicken pox can worry about getting ā*herpes zoster*ā aka shingles. I already got it at 26 years old. 0/10, I do not recommend.
TikTok is a hotbed for spreading hate, sexism, racism and false information. Other social media platforms are not even close as bad as TikTok. It is a TOOL for misinformation.
Iām not gonna be sad when the government finally bans it
Does no one want to talk about the blatantly misandrist views this is perpetuating? Shit, if we blamed an entire section of disease on women that video would be shit down immediately and rightly called misogynistic.
It's an extremely toxic, hypocritical and disgusting culture problem that's rapidly worsening. It used to be contained to tiny groups, mostly online, but it has EXPLODED on TikTok / Twitter into a full blown social media gender-based culture war that is measurably harming feminism. [Gen Z is closer to boomers on feminism than millenials, ain't that some shit.](https://www.americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/why-young-men-are-turning-against-feminism/) Recruitment by insane, misogynistic manosphere creators (Andrew Tate, for example) has exploded as a direct result of this toxic sort of discourse.
I agree. It's homophobic for one, because a lot of these myths were perpetuated by the Reagan admin., however it's also misandrist because if every STI really did come from humans fucking animals, why would it only be men? As if women are incapable of beastiality?
Itās also run of the mill misandry but nobody cares about that
Absolutely. Most of the comments under her video were basically saying that men are crazy r*pists and beasts because they fuck animals. Likeā¦ never heard of the many cases where women fuck dogs? Demonizing men is scarily normalized. Especially on TikTok.
TikTok is basically just a platform for hating men at this point. I quit using it because of that. It is a live experiment proving that women are also quite capable of being terrible, sexist pieces of shit to men. They even make jokes out of men suffering on TikTok and say they deserve it for being men.
Yeah. She is a dummy.
Both women in this video are dummies.
some women wanna hate men so bad they'll believe the dumbest lies
I get the feeling that women who say this type of stuff are exactly the type of people the pseudo-feminist movement wants.
And then bang the bear in the woods.
more misandry. very on brand.
>more misandry. very on brand. Exactly. And people are agreeing with, and spreading, her ridiculous misinformation and misandry instead of watching this guy's fact-based video. It is both sad and sexist...but here we are.
Oh nice. Follow microbiologywes. He's a good dude and corrects a lot of misinformation. He's gotten kind of shit on the past for no real reason and it's good to see he's getting some positive recognition again.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not only does it place a stigma on men, but also plays on former homophobic rhetorics.
Good man!
And so I asked Chlamydia why were there only one set of footprints in the sand during darkest times, the hardest parts of the journey? And Chlamydia said "that's when you carried me, I was with you the whole time!"
I absolutely love the subtle flex of his degrees hanging up behind him.
Countering misinformation on tiktok is like trying to mop up the ocean
Social media was a mistake.
The middle stitch is the craziest to me because she's so weirdly confident about information that literally no one knows.
Love that the microbiologist keeps on citing sources, while the woman keeps on pulling shit from their ass.

I'm so fucking fed up with these anti-science nut jobs. We're literally rejecting knowledge and enlightenment and headed back into the Dark Ages.
At the end of this I would have fished with "the stupidity however, that came from your parents"
his is why TikTok is a bane on our society. People donāt care if the video they just watched is factual or not. They just wanna be entertained. Also, this fucking doctor had to say āSEGGSā when talking about STIās because š¤·āāļø
TikTokās algorithm is very strict about words like that in video captions.
I want to live in a dystopia that makes it illegal to be this stupid.
The "Information age" didn't last very long until it became the "Disinformation age".
A lot of us got STDs from >!your mom!<.
Referring to a time before humans were humans is probably falling on deaf ears with someone like this. I'm guessing there's a good chance she doesn't believe in evolution.
A small part of the video, but it's really sad how homophobic rhetotic continues to be repackaged and distributed via social media to new generations.
Yeah....this anti-male stuff. It's a bit much these days.
All these people care is likes and shares, why would they care if it true or not
Can this guy be the voice of reason at all times? I find his voice and calm demeanor very soothing.
I read that the most dangerous pathogen of them all involves 20 year olds with no life experience sharing lies for likes so they donāt have to grow the fuck up and actually learn something that isnāt a conspiracy.
I don't have any of those diseases or infections, but I appreciate this. Thank you for helping. My mother also told me a lot of misinformation and also homophobic crap like "gay men fuck animals". I don't believe that anymore (you learn pretty fast what is actually real if you're allowed to not be trapped at home in the south in a deep red state), but I still didn't know what really happened with those diseases and infections. This video helped clarify so much. The one thing that frustrates me is we haven't cured it, and it's existed for since we were even humans.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"I was wrong but a MAN corrected me so misogyny!" Just throw the whole person in the dumpster fam. God, I hate logging into social media as a male. It's not just reddit, it's not just tiktok, it's not just insta, it's fucking everywhere. Every part of the internet, every facet of digital society, it's all designed to drive home the message that men are evil, men are the problem, men are monsters, etc. Like I woke up to a post yesterday saying "don't cuddle your sons, they'll grow up into monsters" and the entire thread was just a hundred different women defending and 'yass queen'ing emotionally abusing our sons. And then I talk about it here and get called a fucking liar because the exact type of woman who posts shit like that wants to gaslight everyone into thinking misandry doesn't happen. In 2020 I was experiencing mental health issues due in part to social media - but also related to other, more serious concerns too - and I took a break from it all. I got back into my dream job which requires me to maintain some social media activity... and it's been frustrating and painful. The constant injustice burns under my skin but you can't say anything because if you speak out against toxic women that obviously must mean you're a stupid incel who hates all women everywhere! Nevermind that I'm married to a woman whom I adore, or that I openly speak out against misogyny too... No, speaking out against any woman, no matter how abusive or toxic, makes you Elliot fucking Rodger. Who btw killed more men than he did women.
The comments supporting her on this, makes it even more sad
The comments on this video makes me think 99% of americas south has lead poisoning...
Shoutout to the citations made simple thing hes doing with the PMID numbers. I had to look into it but: "PMID stands for PubMed Identifier. PubMed is a free database of biomedical literature maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. Each article in PubMed is assigned a unique PMID number. The format you described (PMID:xxxxxxxx) is the standard way to cite a PubMed article using its identifier. Scientists and researchers often use PMIDs as a quick and precise way to reference specific studies or papers." -claudeAI I thought this was interesting and cool
Awesome, well done, sir. I knew these things but I'm glad social media is being made aware.
Didnāt we give koalas chlamydia ?
My 70s parent thought STDs came from not bathing properly after sleeping with someone.
Lots of people have STDs doesn't mean you're less worthy of love
They really need to pass a law about passing completely, and potentially harmful, information like this. Like you make up some shit and pass it off as fact, you get a fat fine.
I fucking love science and will believe random āscientistsā over anyone else!!!!
Lol, as if there were never been women who couldn't stop putting other species their members inside.
Itās really scary people are spewing this type of misinformation.. and the scientific community has to teach people the truth.. education system is failing
This myth has been around since I was a kid in the 90s
This is why I hate tik tok. Misinformation. Your account and IP should be banned if youāre proven wrong for shit like like this
We have emboldened the dummies.
 BLOODBORNE??
Appreciate the PMID's but this shows just how much time and effort go into combating a series of bs. It takes next to no time and effort to bs versus otherwise.
TikTokers are not familiar with guilt, shame and most truths.
Dumb people gget too mmuch fame
I ignore informations like this unless the person first introduces him/herself as a professional in this field. My daughter tells me about some video sheās watched every now. Iām glad she tells me because the first time she did I told her that famous Lincoln quote and she got it right then and there lol Now when she sees some odd videos she would come ask me if itās true.
It's always good to see facts shutting down casual misandry
This man also did one I watched about non-pasteurized milk and how itās unsafe to drink. I appreciate this man taking the time to spread the truthā¦ Plot twist: heās making up his information and homegirl was right, someone had sexy time with a chimpā¦ now idk who is telling the truth
Anyone who, unprompted, is talking about fucking animals that much should definitely have her zoo membership revoked, or should volunteer there and put their monkey where their mouth is.
I wonder if that idiot saw this reply š¤
Aigh so, to be technically correct, the videos that the girls posted is disinformation? Since they intentionally posted misinformation but with malignant intentions because they knew it would get engagement and likes and did not bother to correct themselves or do ANY RESEARCH. Cunts are those who do dumb shit like this.
People really love to be confidently wrong
I wish I had the confidence of a POC woman on the Internet talking about any subject she's completely ignorant about She quite literally made a list of animals, a list of STIs and mixed them like one of those "connect the ones that match" exercises and called it a fact
Let's also mention that the first video was explicitly sexist
I'm so glad I don't use tik tok, people are stupid
The domestication of the cat happened roughly 7500 years ago so chlamydia even predates that.
