Michael Jackson effect

When a neurodivergent person is simply existing and neurotypical people spread rumors about them to explain their behavior or to ruin their reputation. No matter what the neurodivergent person does to clear their name, nobody will believe them because they do not meet the standard of humanity acceptable to the neurotypical population.

The Shane Dawson effect

The effect Shane (and other content creators, but Shane is the best example) has had on the current generation. How children learned from a young age that self-deprecating humor makes people laugh. (ex: pointing at a trash can and saying "me haha") and has caused many people to actually believe less of themselves. The child didnt have to actualy watch shane dawson, but could have gotten the behavior from someone else who did watch Shane.

person 1: I'm so lazy and fat lol #relatable

person: 2: did you happen to watch Shane Dawson as a kid?
person 3: It looks like you're suffering from the Shane Dawson effect, are you okay?

the microwave burrito effect

That feeling you have when bicycling in cold weather. Sweaty on the outside, yet somehow still cold on the inside.

The microwave burrito effect occurs when you ride up a big hill on a cold day and you want to take off your jacket because it's sweaty and sticking to you but you are still cold enough to keep it on.

The Food Tent Effect

When two people exit a room and enter another to get away from the rest of a group, people will follow them into the formerly empty room and draw in a crowd; this is often to the dismay of the first two individuals.

"Why did everyone follow us in here?"
"It's the Food Tent Effect, bro."

Endless Milkshake Effect

When drinking your choice of milkshake, you stare down at it and watch what appears to be an endless tunnel of milkshake.
