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"

Get the The Bruner Effect mug.The Jj effect (it will be studied for millennia) is a beautifully complex effect. An incredible outplay? The Jj effect is present. An awful int play? The Jj effect is present. A pointless solo shatter? The Jj effect is present.
No one truly knows what the Jj effect entails, and it's true meaning is yet to be discovered (hence it shall continue to be studied for millennia to come).
