It's been many years, but I remember a neuro professor back in college explaining that aspartame breaks down into phenylalanine, which competes with the precursor for serotonin to transport across the blood brain barrier. So effectively by having higher levels of aspartame in your diet, you can indirectly be reducing how much serotonin your brain can produce.

Honestly, same. It's just harder to make jokes about life being amazing.

I guess the NPR article screenshot comes from the other timeline where it was a weasel then.

I believe so. The only thing I see in this meme template that's confirmed bad for you is aspartame, but they've all maintained a presence in conspiracy-oriented circles.

The TenForward memes have escaped containment again.

Oddly, it didn't get it's own display space.

Companies like to staff as if nobody will ever be sick, have a baby, or go on vacation. Then, when those very normal things happen, they make this face while informing everyone that they'll have to do a lot more work.

Lol, no - I was trying to post a gif, but it failed to load. I just tried again by downloading it and uploading rather than link.
