Downing-Kruger Effect

The Downing-Kruger effect is like the Dunning-Kruger effect, but specifically exhibited by people with Down Syndrome. It may be more apparent than usual due to the “stubborn” personality type commonly associated with DS.

My roommate kept nagging me a lot by saying I needed to take NyQuil, even though I actually had pinkeye and it wouldn’t have helped any. I know he thinks he’s caring for me, but he really doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. It’s not his fault though; he has Down Syndrome, so this is just the Downing-Kruger effect in action.

Delphine Effect

A surrealist feeling of profound and utter confusion that roots in the inhabitude of seeing someone or something in a certain setting.

After buying a dog, I experienced the Delphine Effect and, therefore, gave it back.

outdated trend effect

the outadated trend affect is when a "trend" becomes outdated and no longer valid. take a game for an example, lets say someone is playing a game that is not popular anymore, when a person sees that, they will have an almost exact reaction as the following: ooooooooohhhhhhh you're playing amogus, you're living in the passssssssst.
someone could like to play said game, but an effect similar to peer pressure will occur, the person could stop playing the game, that they could have spend a large amount of money one, such as any nintendo game. with how fast trends get sent to the shadow realm, someone could have just bought something, but its already invalid.

i have no need to put anything here

uhhhhhhhh outdated trend effect i am being forced to put that there
