corsten phenomenon

In fantasy football, when a team's inexplicable draft choices (such as drafting two kickers) seem to produce similarly inexplicable early season successes, only to later result in disaster as opposing teams score unusually high scores in opposition week after week.

the drone phenomenon

The drone phenomenon occurs when a person starts behaving according to the best interests of a religion or nationality that is different than his own, even when they're fully aware their behavior is harmful and goes against their own personal best interests or the best interests of their religion or nationality. The drone phenomenon is a form of corruption pioneered by the Anglican and Catholic Churches. It can explain erratic behavior that would've otherwise been dismissed as having a low level of intelligence. The drone phenomenon is closely related to the phenomenon of deliberate incompetence and religious and nationalist corruption.
He or she is behaving like a mindless drone that is remotely controlled by an unknown party! We're witnessing the drone phenomenon in action.

The Malfac Phenomenon

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.
The Blue Whale Challenge is just an example of the Malfac Phenomenon. I guess its real though!

Rush to Die Phenomenon

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.

Ted Phenomenon

When you have a really good idea, don’t know it’s good, and just slap it on a sketch.
“I’m just gonna call it a Ted Phenomenon, it’s good but what are you doing with it?!”

Tom Segura Phenomenon

The indescribable requirement to masturbate when on an airplane.
After seeing the overweight woman munch a foot long French baguette while over the Atlantic Ocean, the man was overcome by the Tom Segura phenomenon.

The airplane restroom was diffusely painted with jizz by those overcome by the Tom Segura Phenomenon.

Hungry Judge Phenomenon

That sounds like a pretty substantial miscarriage of justice if that is the case.
Hym "BUT Hungry Judge Phenomenon doesn't occur 100% of the time does it? And reminding them of their mortality has the same effect? So it isn't 'predetermined' it just 'largely affected by' which, again, means determinism wrong and dumb. I mean it sounds like we should mandate snacks for judges and convince everyone they're immortal."
