A three-minute clip from Dr. Strangelove in which Mandrake and Ripper (Peter Sellers and Sterling Hayden) discuss fluoridation and 'precious bodily fluids'. It is a famous Cold War satire scene.

HN uses it as a joke reference whenever commenters mock conspiracy-minded worries about purity or poisoning; nobody recommends it as a video to learn from.

In theory all our weapons are defensive. Hence the name "Defense Department". We will know to start worrying when GPTChat starts chatting about protecting its 'precious bodily fluids';) ▶ this video

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids[1]. [1]: ▶ this video

Real “precious bodily fluids” vibes [0]. In all seriousness though you may want to see a therapist or psychiatrist, or just like talk to someone you trust. [0] ▶ this video

@woodruffw2021 · in “Media blackout after key witness against Assange admits lying”

> Personally I think we could probably trace it back to soviet infiltration of the university education system What, not into our precious bodily fluids[1]? This is a facile explanation. America’s politics and culture over the last 80 years have first and foremost been a reaction to the perceived threat of the Soviets. There’s no particular reason, especially as the United States remains remarkably conservative for a developed nation, to blame things on a country that’s been gone for over 30 years.

@baxrob2012 · in “My son is schizophrenic. The ‘reforms’ that I worked for have worsened his life.”

> but teachers aren't psychiatrists or clinical psychologists and can't really be expected to be. rather to the contrary, i think. Or you haven't had occasion to attempt teaching enough? > There's been research to show that there is correlation between the incidence of schizophrenia and the domestication of cats. As I recall, this was more recently debunked, largely on the basis of correlation/causation confusion. ... Unfortunately, I failed in googling the counterpoint. Don't take my word for it, obviously. But consider: the popularity of cat-themes, and of mental-health quackery, especially on the internet. OTOH, my grandmother, who was paranoid schizophrenic, refused to spay/neuter her cats because she had, to her, important conversations with them. So maybe you/they are correct. Also note, the fluoridation of the public water supply may be sapping our precious bodily fluids[1]. > ...as parasties, viruses and bacteria (or even the lack thereof) may be far more immportant than currently realized, possibly even causal in many cases. Agreed. Eg: link [1] ▶ this video
