Matrix's law

The Matrix's law works in the same way than godwin's law. Whenever an online discussion about artificial intelligence progresses, it becomes inevitable that someone or something will eventually be compared to Terminator or any movie with an evil AI.
"Have you seen the last progress of Google's deepmind ?"

"Yeah, we're one step closer from an AI revolution"

"Ah yes, the Matrix's law"

Tumblr's Law

A scientific term. Tumblr's Law states that when a Tumblr user directly mentions or implies that a joke is funny, the joke is no longer funny. This can be commonly done through saying that a meme is hilarious, but can also be completed through such an action as laughing.

When a Tumblr User (commonly self-identified by a person with an active Tumblr account) laughs at something that could be considered humorous, every living being within a 5 mile radius instantly stops feeling joy for a short time. After this event, the joke is no longer funny, and it can no longer be referenced.

The only potential Tumblr Users then have for humor is in creating jokes, but hopefully it is not attempted on Tumblr.

Tumblr User: this is so funny I have been laughing for 30 minutes and crying and shitting my pants.
Intelligent person: You just enabled Tumblr's Law on Doge, wtf??

Marc's First Law

A law invented by Marc of The Templin Institute and introduced in the video "The Idiotic Strategy That Always Works (But Shouldn't!)":

"Dumb ideas are implemented all the time often with cataclysmic results. But they're implemented in the first place because there was a legitimate expectation of a positive outcome; these ideas fall within the "Zone of Believability." However some ideas are so clearly bad and consequences so obvious that no sensible person would ever consider them; such ideas cross the threshold into the "Zone of Ridiculousness" and no explanation can ever justify such an idea's inherit preposterousness."

Essentially this law dictates that are 2 categories that a dumb idea fit under: Believable (Reasonable chance of a positive outcome) and Ridiculous (Very high chance of 1 or more bad outcomes), and that any idea that fits under the latter category should be flat-out rejected.
