Aerith-Hinawa Principle

The Aerith-Hinawa Principle states that in a video game where you’re allowed to pick names for your characters, you should never name them after your loved ones. Named after two of the most traumatizing character deaths in video game history: Aerith from Final Fantasy VII, and Hinawa from Mother 3. A lot of people named these two after people they loved, and it only made their deaths that much worse.

Lucas: For my first Nuzlocke run, I’m naming all of my Pokémon after my closest friends!

Cloud: Please reconsider. I take it you’re unfamiliar with the Aerith-Hinawa Principle?

Bullshit Principle

The idea that everything on the internet is fabricated for likes.

I wasn't sure if Kim Kardashian actually made shoes from organic spinach, until I saw a making of video by my favorite YouTuber, and in that moment, I knew that even the Bullshit Principle couldn't disprove my belief.

Senior Principle Intern

An individual with excessive years of internship at the same company, without receiving a job offer. Almost always is paid at half rate. Deserves little to no praise for work accomplished.

Those papers from the Senior Principle Intern finally arrived on my desk this morning, they are excessively late and faulty.

the unicorn light principle

States that light bends around unicorns, and that light was created form them. the colors that you see right now were created by a unicorn. colors are one of the many things that unicorns have created such as bacon, Nutella, double rainbows, and nun-chuck wielding cats wearing bandannas.

Example:

Person 1: dude, have you ever wondered what made the colors?
Person 2: Go...
Person 3: no because I am well versed in unicornal philosophy, you should know this I was a unicornal philosophy major in college. unicorns created light. isn`t obvious. the unicorn light principle explains it very well.
Person 2: what the actual fuck are you talking about?!?!
Person 3: STFU! im a unicornal philosophy major! what the fuck are you!
Person 2: a christa...
Person 3: that`s what I thought; FUCKING atheist!

The Franchise-Principle

When a song sucks the first time you listen to it but after listening to it more often it turns out to be actually fire.
Like the song Franchise by Travis Scott.

This song „...“ is a perfect example for The Franchise-Principle

The Dave Principle

Society has to move at the speed of the slowest person, ie it only takes one idiot to ruin something good for everyone else.

The Dave Principle states that 1 person ruins it for everyone. "We used to be able to drive as fast as we wanted, and then Dave had to drive faster than he could handle and killed a bunch of people. Now we have speed limits. THANKS DAVE!" -

Perkinstein Principle

When an authority figure gives clear instructions to a group of people, multiple times in some cases, but most or all of the group fails to follow the instructions given in any way, potentially causing the authority figure to dwell into madness.

Teacher 1: Man, I told my students to draw 4 lines, but most of them drew 5, and some didn’t even draw lines!
Teacher 2: Ah the Perkinstein Principle, don't you go mad now.
