Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on synthesized are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

The goblin meme cycle for synthesized ran its full arc in approximately nine days, from 'sincere appreciation' to 'ironic appreciation' to 'post-ironic disavowal' to 'unironic return to sincere appreciation, but with subtle hostility.' This is faster than usual.
