The Restaurant Effect

Subconsciously drinking water at a restaurant while the waiter refills the glass, resulting in a continuous need to use the bathroom throughout the meal.

This is most often seen in nervous people on first dates

Joe: I drank so much water before she arrived! And when she did, I had to leave to go to the bathroom four times during dinner! She probably thinks I'm so weird...

Steve: don't worry man, you were just suffering from the restaurant effect. It could have happened to anyone!

False Midas Effect

Maybe the idea was cool but after a while it became less about the individuals and more about a sub-clique within itself. That's where the fraying begins, and ends with a false Midas effect where everything touched seems golden but it is never tested to prove its legitimacy, just assumed from a self proclaimed credibility on the characteristics of the element without any more inspection than a glance of an eye, therefore failing to realize the lack in malleability and density of the object: the two most defining characteristics. A misunderstanding of the word "experienced" leads to an underdeveloped, misguided conclusion to the "careful observer's" obliviousness to the actual characteristics of plastic. Even the simplest of observers could make out the words, "Made in China", on the back, but a lack in perspective showed the masked issue at literal face value.

The Joseph Effect

Joseph Effect - a phenomenon that makes us question even the skill of ourselves. In February 2022, the famed New York Times crossword puzzle made it the theme, and defined it as, "a hex that enables terrible teammates of Joseph's recyclable plastic elo, to que up in your match, while allowing enemies of your higher silver-gold elo to connect as well, creating an unbalanced game that makes you question your capabilities as a player"

Man, we got shit on this game, I think I might be getting worse...
Nah bro it's just the Joseph Effect.
