Regretamine meme: what it means and where it came from
“I have this great idea for a drug called Regretamine. One dose and all your regrets are gone!”What it means
"Regretamine" is a made-up drug from a joke post: one dose erases all your regrets, including the regret of having taken it. The punchline is the paradox, since the pill would wipe out the memory of the decision it exists to fix.
Replies ran with it, inventing side effects, product labels and other pun-named drugs. It is a joke, not a real medication.
Origin
