"Yeah dude, I almost broke my screen, screaming the answer at him, and got the game too."
"It's like The Northernlion Effect or something, it keeps happening every time I watch him play a game."

Similar to the Butterfly Effect, the Byrnesian Effect is set in motion by just one individual whose actions are so immensely vague and confusing that others are deeply affected by them.
It is defined by the overwhelming state of complete bewilderment the victim experiences, questioning their own purpose and existence, abandoning all commitments and duties that were once regarded as important.
While its origins can be found in Atlantis, FL, the Byrnesian Effect can be felt worldwide as it transcends all space and time.

The Byrnesian Effect is so powerful that, once in motion, wives in Africa abandon all commitments leaving their families never to be seen again.
