As an update I reposted that part of my "When you watch p*rn just for the plot" video and it's still on TikTok so we'll see if they remove it eventually (got way fewer views though). Excited to post part of this video on there and see if it gets removed lol. And you can find the link to my TikTok ( @zachstar_ ) on my channel page but I'm really just posting pieces of these videos there so won't find any new content at the moment. Anyways, enjoy :)

1:48 If your grandfather is turning 79 in 6 years that means he is 73. If he is 73, then he was born in 1947-1948 (considering this video was released in 2021), YEARS after WWII ended. Even if this video is happening in 2014 (the year that TikTok was created with the name of Musical.ly), the grandfather would be born in 1940-1941, being an infant by the end of the war in 1945. So I don't buy it, this man was clearly lying

No, he was clearly -6 years old when he fought in the war.
