Similar to the observer effect in physics, the very act of one person saying they will attend an event can cause all other people who were going to attend to change their minds. Has been known to ruin entire parties.
<Dave> Man, this party is going to be awesome, are you guys coming?
<Adrian> I'll be there
<Joe> I'm coming!
<Adrian> Actually wait, I just realised I had something on
<Dave> Damn, the Joeserver effect!

The GI effect is when a reenactor or someone roleplaying as an American soldier isn't a good sport and dies from the opposing side in war reenactments. The GI effect can also be found in online games such as Garry's Mod where people on the American team get mad whenever they are killed in the game and try to get an admin to ban their killer.
Viet Cong Reenactor: Hey, I shot you.
American Reenactor under the GI Effect: That's fucking bullshit bro you can't fucking shoot me with your inferior AK-47.

(n.)
The resulting conversation between two people with artificial, little or no intelligence. While it may seem like a normal conversation from afar, it actually makes little or no sense. Usually had between people who are convinced of their own intelligence, but in fact, have no clue.
A Furby (plural Furbys or Furbies) was a popular electronic toy released in 1998 with apparent "artificial intelligence" (AI). The toys were designed to interact with kids by speaking and responding to voices. The Furbies start out speaking entirely Furbish, a nonsense language with short words, simple syllables, and various other sounds. The Furbies are programmed to speak less Furbish as they learn more English over time.
When two Furbies were placed next to each other, they would respond to each other's speech. Because Furbies have no actual or inherent intelligence, one Furby merely responds to the other's noises with their own limited language. Over time this deteriorates into nonsense, hence "the furby effect".

You: (Not happy about this decision made without your consent) Furby Effect!
Andrew: Did you hear the debate last night between Gillard and Abbott?
Migs: Yeah. They started off discussing their stands on asylum seekers. Then it went downhill, political mudslinging and criticizing dress sense....
Andrew: Yeah, politicians are prone to the Furby effect...
Grace: So I had this really deep conversation with Claire at the party last night, we talked about some pretty serious issues facing youth today...
Zones: Woman, you were both so drunk and stoned nobody at the party could understand what either of you were saying. Furby effect in action, baby.

Also known as the butterfly effect, the bagel effect is, the idea that small things can have non-linear impacts on a complex system. (Specifically related to things like time itself and the multiverse) Received popularity from Spiderman Across the Spider-Verse, and a bagel also represents everything in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
