Cencorme's Law

Similar to Godwin's Law, as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of the discussion descending into ad hominem attacks and nonsense fuelled by apparent hatred or dislike of someone's comment approaches .

That is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will begin making insults or start yelling about Hillary Clinton/Trump/Russia/shills or similar in order to distract and lead to forum-slide.

Coined on reddit in 2018 and named after a reddit user with the same name, Cencorme's Law originally referred specifically to subreddit discussions. It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric occurs.

When such an event occurs, the person guilty of invoking Cencorme's Law has effectively forfeited the argument.

redditor b: "Blame the Trump and Russians for that. They worked together to influence the developers..."

Bic's Law

Bic's Law states that 1.) No matter how many lighters you buy, there will always be times of abundant lighters, and there will always be times of no lighters.
2.) There will always be a lighter when you are in need
3.) If there are no lighters to be found ask the person on your right again.
Right before we found a lighter We recalled Bic's Law. We had a laugh, forgot about it and then found the lighter on the table.

Law-Tard

A person who thinks they know everything about law when really they don't, or they know a bit but they are mislead.

Usually found in YouTube comment sections, these people are generally defensive and not likely to change their interpretation of a scenario.

These people are also likely to jump into scenarios, during or after, without using context.
Jesus, these law-tards are everywhere.

Dacre's Law

Dacres's Law (or Dacre's rule of Daily Mail analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving accusations of being a 'Daily Mail Reader' becomes highly likely."

The law is named after the infamous former editor of The Daily Mail, Paul Dacre, and can be applied when being accused of being a right-winger for showing concerns regarding immigration or transgenderism.
"I am concerened about Free Moment Of People, because it exploits a vulnerable migrant workforce and pushes wages down."
"Been reading The Daily mail, have you?"
"It's a bit early to be using 'Dacre's Law' isn't it?"
"Bigot!"
