Go away with your homeopathic memes
- It's not homeopathic if you whisper "no homeo" before you swallow.
- How do homeopathic memes work?
  Upload one homeopathic meme on internet, dilute well and proceed to consume entire internet.
- What'd you call me? I never even looked at another man before!
  
  Pork rind?
So I looked up if taking a placebo while knowingly knowing it is a placebo may actually have positive benefits, and it turns out that it may be the case:

Now I'm curious on whether this is a generalized phenomenon for humans, or only for a certain subgroup, such as those more likely to suffer from psychosomatic symptoms.

Ho-MEME-opathy
I think I'm having a negative reaction. Wtf! Why would you do this to me!

Adderall ER 15mg or maybe Nortriptyline HCL 10mgs?
I am reacting to it right now
Joke's on you. This did nothing for me.
So meta.
