The bread pudding effect

When you make a recipe for your friends or family that turns out a bit *too* good. They then associate you with said recipe and insistently demand that you make it for them at as many special occasions as possible. It can become very annoying very quickly.

Named after a dessert called bread pudding, praised for its simplicity and incredible flavor.
1: "UUGHHH! I hate the bread pudding effect!"
2: "Uh... what?"
1: "I made some bread pudding for my sister's birthday party last week. It turned out incredibly well, but now it's all she ever talks about with me! She keeps asking me to make more of it for her and asking me to bring some to more events and... ugh, it's so annoying."
2: "Bread pudding is indeed really quite nice! Ya know... you could probably persuade her to pay you for more of it in the future."
1: "That-- ...that's not a bad idea, actually. Hm!"

Sponsorblasting

A common money-making tactic employed by quality content creators, especially those found on platforms like TikTok. Sponsorblasting consists of occasional sponsored content produced periodically, used primarily by affluent content creators to make modest amounts of money in short bursts off of the views they get.

It may seem like an ineffective concept, but it's incredibly effective at increasing user retention in practice. The sporadic approach that sponsorblasting takes towards monetization can often increase user retention via classical conditioning techniques. Through psychological concepts that won't be discussed here, sponsorblasting both traumatizes viewers and creates patterns of addiction that maintain a firm grip on them in spite of the negative mental health impacts of the presented content.
Sponsorblasting is a common tactic employed by affluent TikTok wagyuposters such as Nick DiGiovanni and itsQCP in order to rake in money from sponsorships while increasing user retention. These sorts of psychological guerilla marketing techniques often create intense dependencies for viewers, severely harming their mental health and forcing them into a vicious cycle of further contribution and monodependency. The lack of governmental regulation against these sorts of practices is a common contributor to widespread mental health issues for younger generations.

bread pudding

A dessert consisting of chunks of stale bread soaked in a sweet custard mixture before being baked. Often paired with a thick vanilla sauce. Despite the strange concept, it's a very easy dessert to make with often disproportionately delicious end results. Be warned, however: if you make this recipe for an event, its attendees WILL start hounding you to make more and more of it for them in the future. It's just that good.
I made some white chocolate bread pudding for my mom's birthday party last week, and it turned out really good! So good, in fact, that now people won't stop talking about it with me...

Parapsychology

1. The study of paranormal entities, such as ghosts. Commonly used in fiction.
2. A type of front-line psychology involving heavy retrospect and scientific thought. Commonly employed by individuals with depression and anxiety, either supplementing or in lieu of professional psychiatric care.
1. I've been handling ghost-hunting for years now, so I've got a pretty good grasp on parapsychology. Did you know that what was previously considered spectral ectoplasm... goes on tangent
2. I'm tired of my psychology getting in the way of me living my life, so I've been doing some pretty heavy parapsychology lately, trying to get to the core of the issues I've been having.

Charity

A common type of money-laundering scam that makes use of guilt-tripping and vague appeals to one's sense of compassion in order to accrue massive amounts of monetary 'donations'. Unlike other scams, charity is very effective in urbanized environments such as Europe and the USA due to the massive amount of political padding around humanitarian efforts, making it very difficult to launch investigations into suspected money laundering operations under such themes.
I'm sick and tired of seeing all these in-your-face charity funds up online. I'd sooner donate my bank account credentials to a random African prince than help some random eastern-European dude buy cocaine or some shit.

Anapara

Shorthand for "Analysis paralysis", a phenomenon frequently observed in individuals with ADHD or organizations with excessive strategic analysis policies. Also known as "the homework effect".

Analysis paralysis is when one becomes so caught up in the planning process of a large task, trying to find the most efficient way to do something, that the task remains unattended to until it's too late.
user1: "yeah, I just get so caught up in trying to plan out my next move that I end up having to make a shit move just to avoid taking up too much time"
user2: "I feel that. Chess can get pretty hard, and anapara sucks ass. I can run through a game with you to help tutor, if that would help."
user1: "ye let's try that"

Steroidial corporation

A corporation or other entity in a state of artificial, transient economic prosperity, requiring a constant flow of exorbitant amounts of money or other resources to maintain itself. Steroidial corporations will often go to extreme measures to maintain their artificial prosperity, such as committing human rights violations or engaging in political lobbying.
America is dominated by the aggressive ambitions of steroidial corporations such as Amazon and Google. Not knowing when to back down, they have grown into terrible monstrosities with countless instances of corruption and human rights violations attributed to them. The government would surely step in to stop them if the government had not also become reliant on the heaps of dirty money coming in via taxes and bribery to sustain themselves. With how deeply-rooted the corruption of the American government and its gluttonous corporate sponsors has become, many Americans worry that only a third world war could be enough to set things right once and for all...
