"Hey, where’s Tebboune? Didn’t he vanish after that El-Harrach mess? Heard he’s chilling in a German hospital."
"Classic Bouteflika Effect—nothing says ‘fit to rule’ like vanishing during a national disaster, gotta love it!"

Get the Rogan effect mug.The effect of Malding in regards to playing league of legends. The T1 effect is the ability to mald yourself, your teammates, your enemies, your fanboys, your haters and literally anyone playing with you or near you while playing a game of league of legends.
The T1 effect will cause you to win a lost game and lose a won game by furious typing alone. Whether you win or lose is determined by your ability to mald others without malding yourself, how much blood rush you’ve had in a day, and how many times you scream “fuck this game.”

Get the The Haze Effect mug.In psychology, the Zeigarnik effect (named after Lithuanian-Soviet psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik) postulates that people remember unfinished or interrupted tasks better than completed tasks. In Gestalt psychology, the Zeigarnik effect has been used to demonstrate the general presence of Gestalt phenomena: not just appearing as perceptual effects, but also present in cognition.
The Zeigarnik effect should not be confused with the Ovsiankina effect, an urge to complete tasks previously initiated. Maria Ovsiankina, a colleague of Zeigarnik, investigated the effect of task interruption on the tendency to resume the task at the next opportunity.
