@selzero I prefer Black Market Music to Sleeping with Ghosts

@selzero it makes me feel better !!!

@selzero

I can report that, apart from a brief psychological anomaly when I mistakenly 'liked' it, this toot had absolutely no effect on me whatsoever. 😜

@selzero That looks exactly like one antibiotic that I just finished taking.

@selzero lol

@selzero

I never heard of a placebo toot — what is it?

@selzero placebo effect verified: we feel better already.

@selzero is it also possible to placebo interact? Say for instance if an AI creates a text that another AI evaluates

@selzero Works for me. 👍

@selzero Ridiculous. I'm certainly not interacting with it.

@selzero I can’t believe it’s not a real toot.

@selzero now do a nocebo toot.

@selzero What about people like me, who are far, far too smart to fall for such tricks?

Wait...

@selzero

Have you tried posting "This is a test, please ignore"? 😁

@selzero @MythingPerson unfortunately, now that I have learned that I was in the control group receiving the placebo, the beneficial effects are fading away entirely.

@selzero Still better than most other toots...
neither + nor -

@selzero @MadeyeTheCarnaptious And here’s a homeopathic toot . . Image attached shows active element with water removed.

@selzero what about a schrödinger's toot tho?

@selzero
Oh man this stuff works!!!

@selzero Sucker love is heaven sent

@selzero

Looks rather like "Placebo forte"
to me... 🤔

@selzero
Test toot, please ignore.

@selzero needs a trigger warning, my best friend died of a placebo overdose

@selzero wait, is this a $1 placebo toot, or a $10000 placebo toot. I'm told that matters...

@selzero An article about one of my favorite research results: placebos are getting stronger! https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/09/in-depression-treatment-trials-placebo-effect-is-growing-stronger/
