Similarly I was gonna say a couple entries to mountain bike park, and maybe a can of coke after

Scientists definitely do not say this though, we are really interested in cross-sensory perception, cueing, memory associativity, synaesthesia, and all that cool stuff.

Why are you on this community

That assumes that it is worth avoiding a "fecal plume". I would think that useful research would tell us whether such a thing is actually bad for us, beyond sounding gross.

Fair point, I hadn't looked up the specific movie / director

However, let's not forget the whole thing was created digitally then "printed" to film, so there was never a "film original".

Did you verify their statements that the true or false articles were in fact true or false?

Thanks! What an incredibly shit survey. They're asking me to judge based on headline alone without any further content. It entirely misses the point of how to judge the truthfulness of the headline - by reading further information!!!

Create an account to continue? No thanks.

Nice breakdown. Maybe update your stats a little, we're at nearly 8e9 people on the planet. Doesn't change your conclusion much.

The difference is that placebo is an objectively measureable benefit, regardless of whether they report being better or not.

Misreporting is a reported benefit, regardless lf whether they are objectively measureably better or not.

E.g. joint inflammation could be an example. Measurable reduction in inflammation with a calipers could be induced by placebo, even if patient doesn't report feeling better. But reporting feeling better may not come with any measured reduction in swelling.

Placebo is not (just) in the mind, it is in the entire body!

I acknowledge it is less clear-cut in mental health, but I just wanted to answer the general question outside of this specific context.

Surely ruining the atmosphere even more is a good thing...???
