The Aaron effect

An effect caused by the molecular patterns in the brain, which constructs when laughter is heard. The laughter is refracted causing the sufferer to mirror the laughter in a much louder tone and is trapped in a continuous loop.

Scientists Professor Keating and Doctor Beattie have researched humor and laughter in the Aaron effect and identified its benefits. They have presented findings claiming that the laughter opens the linings of the blood vessels in the heart after evaluating patients who watched comedies compared to patients who watched dramatic movies. This can aid in reducing high blood pressure and the number of heart attacks experienced by people.

It is primarily a social vocalization that is not a learned group reaction but an instinctive behavior programmed by our genes.
Aaron was trapped in a voice recording of laughter. "Dam The Aaron effect" he said.

Mandela Effect

Named after the famous Nelson Mandela this conspiracy theory Is when a large group of people remember something being a certain way, but when people go back and look at it, it has changed or is gone in this universe with no reasoning other than "it's always been like that"

Two popular theories on the Mandela effect are:
Time Travel- Some believe that times travels have come back to the past and changed one little thing that ended up changing many other things kinda like the butterfly effect Think about it the future has already happened so even if time travel is say 1,000 years in the future it has already been done which means time travelers are going back to the past which is our present and changing little things.

Parallel Universe- Others believe that sometime in the last decade or two the world went through a black hole or that our "original world" ended and now we are in this Parallel Universe where something changed in the process of switching or going through the black hole. (most think in the years 2000 or 2012 this happened cause many thought the world was gong to end)

Anita Loos effect

This refers to men having a preference for blondes, as well as the supposed increased sales of magazines that feature a blonde on the cover. Named after Anita Loos, author and screenwriter, who wrote "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."

Mass Effect

"Mass Effect" is a euphamism for "The second best thing ever invented". The first being, of course, Mass Effect itself. If a person loves something very much, they may say it is Mass Effect. If they say this they mean that thing is the best thing ever invented since Mass Effect itself.

Girl: :O

The Wikipedia Effect

The Wikipedia Effect is the tendancy for inquisitive people to become caught in an endless series of pages on the popular open-encyclopedia, "Wikipedia", to which they are forced to read every single page they've opened.

This tends to happen thanks to Wikipedia's inter-linking model, which links important words in a particular article, to an entire article on that word. The trend can then easily cascade from there, ending in dozens of pages that a user finds interesting.
"Don't you just love The Wikipedia Effect? It sure is a good way to stave off boredom."
