Maybe the real placebo were the friends we made along the way.
Placebros
For a moment I was wondering what the heck Place Bros was.
As opposed to placentabros.

This is a placebo meme.

Studies have shown that placebo memes are still upvoted even when users are aware they’re placebo.

Good human.
Since upvote means “marked as read,” you’re not wrong.
It seemed to have practically the same effect on me as actual memes. I’m stunned.
A meme in need, is a meme indeed.
a meme with weed is better?

What are you doing step-placebro?
Can confirm, upvoted and feel better immediately
Weird lookin beans.
About 15 years ago I had to ask someone on Twitter to explain to me what a meme was. Since that time…the definition has changed drastically.
It’s still a self-replicating thought. …although the meaning has gotten broader in some areas, narrower in others, and much shallower overall.
It’s more that the idea split into two concepts and “internet meme” is something else now. That happens with language and it’s fine.
I guess that makes about as much sense as anything does. Or as little.
