When you're playing D&D but your unbalanced die is looking too much like candy

I still have a half-joke conspiracy theory that the information that placebos work even if you know they're placebos is in itself benevolent misinformation to induce a real placebo effect about placebos you know are placebos.

This meme is a paradox. It's is and also isn't a placebo. Schrodinger's meme?

This somehow reminded me of Sturgis' reply when you build up Sanctuary during the quest of the same name.

No idea why, but that's how I read your post lol

I remember a product from years ago with the phrase "Genuine Placebo Effect" on the label. Wish I could remember what it was.

I hear a friend with weed is better.

Seems like getting even more attention, potentially thanks to Shrödinger effects

Because the defining quality of a Placebo is how much of anything it receives

Rauschenberg's white painting was the OG placebo meme.
