Paper Straw Effect

When people design a flimsy straw to save the turtles, but ignore that paper straws cause much more pollution to make, defeating the purpose. This is the effect where people care more about looking eco-friendly rather than being eco-friendly and practical.

"Damn, they redid the packaging with green cardboard and wrapped it together with denim, it's soaked from the rain too"
"Seems like they were affected by the Paper Straw Effect"

The WARP effect

When you look back on the messages of a group chat and see that the other members were involved in a lengthy discourse about the most ridiculous, disturbing, idiotic, strange, unethical or controversial topics. Despite this extreme discussion, your evaluation of those people is not changed because you either assume they are not serious or you believe they are of the nature of expressing opinions or saying things that are ridiculous, disturbing, idiotic, etc.

Person 1: "My friends will just say the strangest things in the group chat"
Person 2: "Does it change how you view them?"
Person 1: "No, not really"
Person 2: "That is what is often refered to as the WARP effect"
