TikToker Liam Porter, who goes by @liamporter65, has worried his followers after going completely silent following day six of his “Project Pond Water” challenge. Porter had been filming himself drinking untreated pond water every day, saying he would keep going until he got giardiasis. The sudden silence has left thousands of viewers genuinely concerned about his wellbeing.
According to Brobible, Porter launched the challenge with a video that quickly got 1.6 million views on TikTok. In each video, in a style reminiscent of a low-budget Bear Grylls, he would announce, “Day one, drinking pond water until I get giardia,” before scooping up murky water and drinking it on camera. He never gave a clear reason for the challenge, but the viral attention it generated may have been reason enough.
