I would have upvoted a red pill meme.
But I did upvote this blue pill one that somehow means the same thing…
I’m really annoyed that they co-opted The Matrix…
I read the text and left a comment! It’s like it’s a real meme! Neat!
Make me laugh and I’ll share it with others, even.
If you hadn’t told me it was a placebo meme I would have never known.
yeah, but you’d probably figure it out when the cancer memes keep coming.
How you have a control group?
Any instance that’s been defederated is the control
Yes, but this is by definition a meme. A placebo meme would be something that looks like a meme but has no joke in it. Anything circa 2017 should do.
What separates a placebo from an anti-meme?
Picture an image with an explanation of said image written on it. That’s the anti-meme.
It becomes an anti-meme, by “misunderstanding” the fundamental nature of memes. Like explaining what is happening on the image, instead of reframing it with new text.
Now picture any random image, with any random text. That’s the placebo.
A placebo-meme is something that doesn’t have any intent of being funny, in fact it has no way of becoming funny (other then trough irony). So yes, those 2017 memes are not placebos, because an inside-joke was already in place, making them “funny” for the intended audiance.
With the current state of memes it became hard to actually construct a placebo, since anything not even remotely funny, something containing absolutely no trace of humor could still be picked up as a “senseless joke”.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Is Milhouse a good placebo?

Don’t tell me what to do! >:(
Well, if normal placebos don’t work, try Placebo Forte+ with three times the amount of active ingredients!
I made myself blind before voting to improve the result quality. I hope you are also blind op.

#You Can’t Tell Me What To Do!

Don’t tell me what to do
ITS A MIRACLE!!! I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER MEMED.
I suffered negative side effects as if it were a real meme, and a bad meme at the same time
I had to refrain from voting
