Wheatley Effect

The Wheatley Effect is a behaviour in which a person takes over a successful brand/ company/ rights of media, and ruin it with almost every change they do by choosing stupid decisions
Person 1: "Elon Musk changed that Twitter accounts that don't pay for a monthly subscription will temporarily be restricted to reading 600 posts per day"
Person 2: "that's some kind of Wheatley Effect bullshit"

Person 1: "Elon Musk chose to rebrand Twitter.com into X.com"
Person 2: "wow, the Wheatley Effect must really take place here"

David Zaslav, new CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery following the merger, cancelling Batgirl, a nearly completed feature film, for tax reasons; and continuing to release 2023's The Flash, only for it to disastrously bomb at the box office is an example of the Whealtey Effect

The Restaurant Effect

Subconsciously drinking water at a restaurant while the waiter refills the glass, resulting in a continuous need to use the bathroom throughout the meal.

This is most often seen in nervous people on first dates
Joe: I drank so much water before she arrived! And when she did, I had to leave to go to the bathroom four times during dinner! She probably thinks I'm so weird...

Steve: don't worry man, you were just suffering from the restaurant effect. It could have happened to anyone!

SiIvaGunner Effect

For when someone you know claims to be leaving something, ie a party, or somewhere but you know right from the getgo they won't go through with it due to changing minds, general delusion or it never being intended to be happening from the beginning
Yeah man Joe said he's going to leave the party but I'm getting serious SiIvaGunner Effect vibes from him.

The Dickerson Effect

The sobering effect of hanging out with someone who is way drunker than you, bringing your buzz down in comparison to theirs
We were all drinking and having a great time until Mike showed up at the party 10 tequila shots in, no one felt quite as drunk anymore. That's the Dickerson Effect, man.
