The girlfriend effect

It’s where a boys cute and then her gets a gf and he gets progressively uglier and uglier the more they’re together it has something to do with toxicity and how the girl drains the boy so he look exhausted and just over all less cute.

The Y2K Effect

A social phenomenon that occurs when experts work diligently to avert a crisis, only for the general public to deem the potential crisis a hoax should the contingency efforts be successful. Named after the aversion of the Y2K bug, which has been largely deemed a hoax over the past couple of decades because it never actually occurred thanks to programmers behind the scenes preparing the new millennium of technology for the 21st century.
"Hey remember that rumor the bridge would collapse? I can't believe they actually tried to scare us like that"
"The bridge legitimately was at risk of collapsing, but construction teams examined the issue right away and made necessary repairs to avoid the disaster"
"Woah, really?"
"Yep, The Y2K Effect struck again"

The Onision Effect

When a YouTuber in their 30s is exposed for (alleged) child grooming, causing their reputation to take a huge downward spiral and cement them one of the worst YouTubers ever.
Person 1: Oh my god. I honestly cannot believe what is going on right now, first it was Onision and now Colleen Ballinger/Miranda Sings of all people?!?!?!

Person 2: Wow, just wow. Oh, how the Onision Effect repeats itself (when will they ever learn)... -_-

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.

Becky 2: “Oh I know, it’s the same as yours Becky!!”
