Stack's Law of Universal Causality

A law which states that: given sufficient time, some internet user, somewhere, will have posted elaborate arguments for one person, thing, idea or phenomenon being the cause of all of the world's modern day problems. The argument is likely far-fetched.
Joe: Man, the Middle East is getting crazier every day.
Matt: I read a great article the other day about how Middle Eastern instability is primarily caused by Western expectations of gender-role conformity. That also causes income inequality, Donald Trump, and government corruption.
Joe: The only thing you just proved is that Stack's Law of Universal Causality is true.

Jessica: OMG! Why are there so many starving children in Africa.
LeJuana: You see, when you get down to it, Islamic extremism is the primary cause of global hunger, and our poor stock-markets!
Jessica: How do you know that?
LeJuana: I read a tell all article on it at WorldWithoutReligion.com!
Jessica: That's just Stack's Law of Universal Causality at work.

Stack Trace

* A step-by-step account of how one got to the current topic.

From computing, where a program (usually with a bug) prints several lines of information explaining how it arrived at a condition it wasn't programmed to handle.
"...and maybe I should be working out more often. Uhh... Can I get a stack trace?"
"Sure. We were talking about how you were addicted to Netflix, then how you couldn't believe Blockbuster didn't read the writing on the wall, then you were talking about not remembering the last time you walked into a Blockbuster, and then mentioning the membership card is still in your wallet, and then you were reminded about your mortality because of how old that makes you."
"Oh, that makes sense. So, yeah-- you wanna go to the gym?"
