Get the monk dimin' mug.phenomenon in which greater input of effort, money, etc. yields smaller results. Crucial part of the idea is that if you're using x to get y results (where y is the thing you want). then additional input a will yield additional results b, but not in the same proportion as before.
On average, before, you put in x to get y, so your yield was y/x. But if you increase x by amount a, then your results will be y + b, where
(y + b)/(x + a) < y/x
and this will only get worse.
Diminishing marginal returns (DMR) is used to explain why the supply curve in economics slopes upward, i.e., increasing the quantity supplied requires an increased price of most things.
Sometimes DMR is more than offset by "economies of scale," which allows more of a thing to be supplied more cheaply than a small amount.

Get the Dimick mug.The more porn you watch, the more hardcore the porn has to be for you to get an erection and to finish.

Get the Giesel's Law of Diminishing Returns mug.An intelligent, tall, talented and handsome young man who profoundly distrusts females of all kind and in every corner of the world. He is charismatic, funny and absolutely adorable. However, say one thing off his script and he will run for the hills. He would like to convince you that he is spinning plates and being a player, but deep down, he desires his one true and very real other self. He is an introverted thinker, relies on absolute truth and objective logic, he does not like to socialize unless he is forced to. He has an impenetrable armour and an ego of steel, but once his other self touches him with the exact thoughts he wishes to share, he becomes the most amazing human on Earth. He likes to be in control, needs to preserve his power because deep down, he simply doesn’t want to be betrayed.
P.S. he enjoys playing games, but hates when others make their own rules.
