   MI6 and CIA are using steganography to track down the spread of memes. The most notorious example is the "classic pepe" image, majority of its variations spread on 4chan and other resources have these visible stripes that were planted at some high-profile site, resulting in compromised image taking top results in image search engines.

     @mint I've noticed too that these "artifacts" are present in anything uploaded to Know Your Meme, and those are usually top results in search engines
     that site always struck me as a faggot haven so i wouldn't be surprised if feds were involved there

     @bronze @mint That's nothing.
     
     I heard that the "clown pepe" image pattern colors were being used to track the spread of that meme a while back.

     @mint @bronze Doesn't even shock me with how hard they were clamping down on it.

     shulgin had a batch of DOI prepared with a different isotope of iodine. then he took it and sat in front of some imaging equipment. he learned that the drug was metabolized inside the lungs even though it was taken orally.
