Philip's Law

Similar to Poe's Law, this was coined by popular Youtuber 3kliksphilip

"The best way to get attention, is to be a dick"

Refers to moments on the internet where being a dick baits a response from people, such as celebrities on social media. Similar to "there's no such thing as bad publicity"
Philip's Law in action with a celebrity:

1: Stfu you fag what do you know

2: *Long winded response telling them to not be a dick*

1: OMG you repsoned I'm your biggest fan

The law of eventually

If you brute force something enough, it will eventually break / give way / work / you will understand .

It started out with me playing snooker / pool.

I don't really like pool, so I just smash the ball to see how many cushions I can make the ball bounce off before it eventually goes in. My record is 6 bounces.

Most of the time it doesn't work, but sometimes it does (and that's good enough for me).

Same applies with learning new stuff with work. I will read something, and I won't understand it, and I will just keep reading articles, or watching videos until it sinks in and I kinda understand it.

The laws of eventually... hit something (a ball, a topic, whatever) hard enough and it will eventually go in.
David sucks at snooker, rather than playing with finesse, he thinks if he hits the ball hard enough it will eventually go in.

David: (smacks the ball as hard as he can)
Opponent: Why don't you actually try and get the ball in by playing a proper shot?
David: I suck at snooker
(ball still bouncing around the table)
Oppontent: But you're not even trying
David: I'm using the law of eventually - if I hit it hard enough, eventually it will go in.
Opponent: You're an idiot
(ball eventually sinks in a random pocket after bouncing off 20 cushions)
David: HA!

Law of Deveyra

The idea behind an idea is always better than the reality of doing it.

For example: Going out for a smoke because you're bored but realizing you're just as bored but with a smoke in your hand.

Going out to clubs sounds fun, once you're there you realize you rather want to go home and thus continue the circle of Deveyra's Law.
"-Dude, i went out clubbing last night and law of Deveyra were implied. I should've stayed home."

"- I'm bored, lets go for a walk!
- Before you decide, contemplate Deveyra's law."

the law of BtH

The natural law that states that when a certain person from a non-disclosed Western-European country introduces two or more people to eachother, they will always immediatly gang up on the person that introduced them. It does not matter whether these people knew eachother before or how long they knew the introducer already. Scientist are still researching the exact cause of this law.
