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.

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.

A couple of comments are suggesting that, but I remember this scene and just assumed it was a weird still from the movie.

I’m confused why someone would’ve recreated it, or modified part of it with AI, but it’s possible.

I’ve always considered it the latter.

No worries. It would be best to just repost that one in the politicalmemes community instead.

That’s how I’ve always interpreted it too.

I do envy their ability to take such big risks though (often because they have money to fall back on, I assume).

I’ve never been in a position to take a risk like that without jeopardizing my (and now my family’s) future.

It’s not something that’s unique to tech, but I read it as a joke about enshittification due to greed.

Lots of start-up companies start out all idealistic and positive, then don’t stay true to that mission as the founders age and want more (or sell out to a bigger company).

They might be using an app that doesn’t show display names. I can see it when on my PC, but this is how it looks in the Voyager app, for example:

You actually did it! What a legend.

It sounds like the robots still have a lot to learn.

Please be warned, that part of the text was 100% AI. I’ve never baked cupcakes…
