The Tanganyika Incident

Plot · 03-03-2016, 09:41 AM

The Tanganyika laughter epidemic of 1962 was an outbreak of mass hysteria, believed to have occurred in or near the village of Kashasha on the western coast of Lake Victoria in the modern nation of Tanzania near the border of Kenya. It is possible that, at the start of the incident, a joke was told in a boarding school, and that this joke triggered a small group of students to start laughing. The laughter perpetuated itself, far transcending its original cause. The school from which the epidemic sprang was shut down; the children and parents transmitted it to the surrounding area. Other schools, Kashasha itself, and another village, comprising thousands of people, were all affected to some degree. Six to eighteen months after it started, the phenomenon died off. The following symptoms were reported on an equally massive scale as the reports of the laughter itself: pain, fainting, respiratory problems, rashes, and attacks of crying.

Fun facts with uhoh time

Hysteria is a word the ancient greeks invented and attributed to women. Hence hysterectomy's a procedure in which they cut their pussys out. Lmao. Well they leave the pussy but take the guts. Either way. So whenever something is hysterical or somene is exhibiting hysteria, just remember some greek dude 3000 years ago was like wtf this bitch is crazy cut her pussy out.
