Butterfart effect

The butterfart effect is the idea that small things can have non-linear impacts on a complex system. One person farting can trigger another to do so as well. The concept is imagined with an individual farting in public and the unexpected socio-psychological consequences. Of course, a single act like the individual flapping its buttocks cannot cause a shitstorm.

Little did Phil know that his loud breaking of wind in the elevator had a butterfart effect on the whole office block. The place reeked for hours.

Doom Effect

The "Doom Effect" occurs when a new electronic device, usually targeting consumers, is released and someone ports the id Software classic game DOOM to it. The only stated goal of doing so is to claim that DOOM can run on it. It is not done with the full intent that people will actually play the game on said device, just that it is technically possible.

The Doom Effect usually acts a marker for then next level of experimentation with said device.

is the practice of porting id Software's genre defining DOOM game to any new electronic device with a screen just to prove it it technically feasible.

"The Doom Effect was in full force with this port of DOOM to all Digita OS cameras."

or

"The Doom Effect struck again, porting the game to yet another unplayable device!
