Intelligence signalling

To broadcast or telegraph that you are more intelligent than you actually are by attempting to educate people and provide unsolicited advice under the guise of helping them.

Includes an element of virtue signalling as the goal is both to dominate by making yourself appear smarter and more virtuous in juxtaposition to the receiver or audience.

The intention (as well as virtue-signalling 'helpful' advice) is to self-level-up and often to make it seem like you have more knowledge in a given field. Since you often target someone more specialized or experienced than you are your advice is either common knowledge, making you appear like a douchebag in the eyes of the receiver, or it is made up bullshit.
My mistake was when Joe asked me how my marketing business was going and I said 'slow'. For the next hour he was intelligence signalling useless advice. The only thing I learned in that hour was how little he knows about marketing.

Ties in well with virtue signaling as the goal is both to dominate by making yourself appear smarter and more virtuous in juxtaposition to the receiver or audience.

Doppelganger effect

A causality exists in which after spending enough time with your best friend you start to dress, look, act, and eventually think the same as each other.
“Notice how those two guys sitting together on the bus have the same sunglasses, rings, haircuts, phone brand, shoes, etc. That’s the doppelganger effect. And look in the seats behind them are two girls who dress, tilt their heads and even laugh exactly like each other too”

compostit

A photo made up of several parts, similar to a composite, but leads the audience to falsely believe it is a real photo. Sometimes assisted with text.
Post: Here is a spectacular long exposure shot of the Milky Way, with a beautiful silky smooth waterfall in the foreground and some eagles soaring overhead through the warm sun-lit god-rays from the fluffy clouds, a lightning strike, and a few unicorns dancing in the distance under the double rainbow. We’ve been waiting patiently all day to capture such a rare such a moment! Oh by the way it’s a compostit image .. ooh I mean a composite image.

Comment: yes it's compost alright :D
