A repeated period of time where a person entering a space intended for another activity discovers true beauty in which it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness, one that is liminal in subject. Based off the Site-12 Roleplaying server which is the one server in a landscape of many that show true pioneering and perseverance. Thank You.

Get the The Ball Phenomenonmug. The sudden inexplicable inability to demonstrate an action to an audience specifically summoned to view said action.
This phenomenon receives its name from the premise of a pet "talking" parrot who is suddenly silent when guests are invited to see it "talk." "I swear!," says the owner, "He says all kinds of stuff! He says 'hello', he says our names! Really! I don't know why he won't do it now...." while the guests nod and say, "Suuure, he talks. We totally believe you."

Get the First Wood Phenomenonmug. The tendency of a government to make policies and regulations that cause people to suffer and or die in larger numbers and or sooner rather than make policies that reduce people's suffering. This issue can be seen very frequently when the government is dealing with taxation, corruption, disease outbreaks, water and air pollution caused by hazardous waste, etc.
Hugo: The government keeps raising taxes every year, even though they know that large numbers of people may be driven into homelessness and may not be able to afford the resources they need to survive. This may lead to many people enduring unnecessary suffering. Why do they keep doing this every year?
Alan: Because many of our political leaders care more about their agenda than the actual needs of the people. They could have tried to make a new revenue source that does not rely taxes to generate income to help eliminate the need to raise taxes every year, but they are lazy and argue its unnecessary; when in fact it should have been done years ago. This issue is an example of the Rush to Die Phenomenon.

Get the Rush to Die Phenomenonmug. The Malfac Phenomenon is a phenomenon when people start a hoax, but bad people that aren't in on the hoax start actually doing the hoax, so the hoax actually becomes real. It was never meant to be real, but because bad people didn't know it was a hoax, they started doing what the hoax said they would do, its just a whole thing and it exemplifies how terrible the human race is.
