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"

17 effect

The believe that something lucky/good happens for every time you see/hear/notice the number 17 in a significant place or context.
This can also be used when one is 17 years old and something especially good happens to them.

Sometimes the multiples of 17 (34,51...) can also be used in it's place.
Getting that girls number right after the goal from Kellen Moore was definitely the 17 effect!!!

Charlie Kirk Effect

When Grindr starts reporting outages anywhere there is a large Republican gathering, due to closeted use of the app.

transitional graduation effect

A phenomenon where graduations from middle school, high school, and college feel particularly significant as they mark the transition into new life phases. In contrast, kindergarten and primary school graduations are perceived as less impactful, akin to how 2 A.M. is seen as just "in the middle of the night", representing a continuation of childhood rather than a major life milestone.
The transitional graduation effect is clear when you see how excited students are for high school and college ceremonies, while kindergarten graduations feel more like just another step in their childhood journey.
