The phenomenon that takes place when a once popular first-person shooter loses a majority of its player base within a few months of its initial hype due to player disinterest.
The video game 'Splitgate' once had thousands of players online and even was, at one point, the most streamed game on Twitch, but it has sadly lost more than 90% of its player base mainly due to players losing interest.

The tendency for meetings to go longer than necessary because participants feel the need to share their own opinions even though, typically, these opinions are not useful.
Origin: From "opinions are like assholes--everybody has one" and the asshole move of extending meetings longer than necessary.

1. "UGH we could have ended the meeting a half hour early but there was MAJOR asshole effect going on today!"
2. "This is a nice report on our fourth quarter earnings. However, in your pie chart you use magenta and I think that crimson would be more pleasing to the eyes."
"You know, John, when this is printed out through the second floor copier, the color is always slightly different than what appears on screen."
"Hmm, is that so? Has Richard looked at that lately? Have we been sending out reports with the wrong color of crimson this whole time?"
"I think mauve would be a nice color. It was used on the quarter 3 report. It also matches nicely with our company's logo."
"How about colorblind people? Will this be a problem when they read the report?"
"Hmm, Chad, can you get us some numbers on how many potentially colorblind people will be reading this?"
"Ooh, we might also want to do a cost-benefit analysis of toner costs."
<sigh...>

A widespread misconception about a sport fact or stat. It is continuously reinforced throughout time thus keeping its false belief in existence. Derives from the popular term “Mandela Effect” and is coined after long time NHL defenceman Marco Scandella
Bro how crazy is it that the US beat the soviets to win gold in lake placid?
Actually bro that was only the semi final game. They had to win one more to secure the gold
Ah damn my bad bro, total Scandella effect

This is the effect that takes place when any of the Hanson songs are played. It makes you feel good, and has the tendency to make you fall in love with prepubescent boys. However, this will NOT make you a lesbian, because they will soon get first hair on ball, and get buzz cuts.

What happens when inflation of a currency gets out of hand. The result? Everything become expensive, and the economy tanks and implodes. Named after what happened with Gaia Online and the whole "Goldemort's gold generator" situation.
Economists must know that while manageable inflation is good, hyperinflation and the Gaia effect can cause severe consequences.
