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"

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!

The Kuring Effect is a phenomenon that refers to the practice of reducing energy consumption by lowering the brightness of electronic displays, such as computer monitors, smartphones, and televisions. This method has become increasingly popular in recent years as people become more conscious of their environmental impact and energy usage.
While the Kuring Effect has proven to be an effective way to save energy and reduce electricity bills, it does come with a downside. People who try to view the display while the brightness is lowered may find it too dark to see anything. This can cause frustration and annoyance, leading some individuals to become angry or upset.
Despite its limitations, the Kuring Effect remains a valuable tool for individuals and organizations seeking to reduce their energy consumption and promote sustainability. As technology continues to advance and new ways of conserving energy are developed, it is likely that the Kuring Effect will play an increasingly important role in helping to create a more sustainable future.

"Using the Kuring Effect has helped me reduce my energy bills and feel better about my environmental impact, but it can be frustrating when other people can't see what's on my screen."
"I appreciate the Kuring Effect as a way to save energy, but I wish there was a way to quickly adjust the brightness when someone else needs to use my device."
"The Kuring Effect has been a game-changer for me in terms of reducing eye strain and saving battery life on my phone, although I have had some issues with it being too dim in certain lighting conditions."
"Oh, fantastic, yet another person using the Kuring Effect to save the planet while simultaneously blinding everyone in the room. Thanks for that, really appreciate it. I mean, who needs to see what's on their screen anyway, right? Let's just all squint and strain our eyes while we try to make out what's going on. Brilliant."
