I was accepted to an amazing program with a full scholarship, but still don’t know if I should apply to less paying boring jobs instead. I guess I’m experiencing the ramzi effect.

Get the The Ramzi Effect mug.**The Kordain Effect** (*noun*, often capitalized)
1. A quantum interstellar galactic anomaly that describes how minor setbacks or errors in space travel, colonization, or intergalactic relations escalate into catastrophic events on a cosmic scale—akin to Murphy’s Law but with exponentially larger consequences. Rumored to be named after Kordain, a notorious schemer known for plotting playful "war crimes" involving moose and general chaos (see also: Canadian history).
2. A darkly humorous concept suggesting that whatever can go wrong in the universe, especially when venturing beyond Earth, will not only go wrong but do so with maximum theatricality and impact.
*Origin:* Believed to have originated within online gaming communities, particularly among players of Star Citizen, where it’s used to explain unexpected system failures or resource shortages during missions. Some speculate it’s a nod to Kordain’s in-game persona as a master strategist of misfortune. Others don't know if Kordain even really exists but they know the effect is real.
*Note:* The Kordain Effect is not an official scientific term but a colloquial descriptor for universal misfortune, often used ironically or as self-deprecating humor among spacefarers and gamers.

Get the The Kordain Effect mug.The little Timmy effect is essentially the little Jimmy effect but it benefits a certain age group in general, so for example if a kid were to make a painting and it looks ugly as shit, and the older brother of that kid makes a fucking beautiful work of art the parent would most likely pick the little kids painting to keep him from balling his eyes out.
Brother: Mom look at this thing I made!
Little Brother: Look at mine!
*the little brother shows a disgusting piece of shit ever*
Mom: Hmmm.. I like you little brothers
Brother: Its the fuckin Little Timmy Effect.

Get the Little Timmy Effect. mug.Dumb Ass Kids On Youtube Who Always Type Like This. They ruin logos from every single piece of media ever made, especially the Rugrat-era logo of Klasky Csupo, the original animation studio who provided the animation for the first three seasons of the long-running sitcom "the simpsons". They also edit audios as well.
They can also be found on Fandom comments and Deviant Art, and some are part of the lost media community. Most of them are either auttp or uttp. They usually use KineMaster, an Android app thats basically the modern day version of the "www.Bandicam.com" watermark, to edit their videos.
Occasionally, they can also be found editing Wikipedia, as evidenced by me checking on New Years eve 2024 the page for the talk show "The Late, Late Show with James corden" being edited with crap saying its a bbc show and that it's the new incarnation of the "The Tonight Show" following Jimmy Fallons initially planned 2025 departure.
Lots of Filipino logos, like ACS Manufacturing Corporation, Eat Bulaga! (TAPE version; from 2004) and especially TV Patrol have been ruined by these evil kids.
These kids are bad, if not worse, than the entirety of both of the Donald Trump US presidential administrations, and even
