Faxlore is what we had before memes. :) [1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faxlore [1]Technically, it would be "memes distributed via fax, vs. via internet". But fighting the shift in meaning of "meme" is like fighting "inception" meaning "An X within an X", vs. "planting an idea in the subconscious".

I just realized that they "you can die from getting any fentanyl on your skin" is the 2010s/2020s version of "you can get an entire acid trip by handling a piece of paper with Mickey Mouse printed on it AAAAH". White-spread panic.

A typical version. As with any such thing, there was a lot of memetic drift: www.techguy.org/threads/mous...
