Rubber band effect

The emotional snapback move where someone pulls away—ghosting, going cold, or claiming they “need space”—only to return later with affection, apologies, or renewed interest. It’s like watching someone stretch a rubber band to its breaking point… then letting it fly back and sting you in the heart.

“I was finally healing, then she called crying and I got pulled right back in. Rubber band effect, every time.

The World of Candy Effect

The strange, soul crushing emotional spiral that hits after listening to the entire song “World of Candy” by Michael Jackson, not just a snippet, not a remix, but the full uncut experience. It starts out sweet, nostalgic, even magical, then bam! suddenly you’re plunged into a deep, unexplainable grief that lingers all day. Nothing helps, not memes, not snacks, not fresh air, until you finally crash and sleep it off. Like how did this guy who made Thriller write ts?

“Dude, I listened to World of Candy on my lunch break and couldn’t function the rest of the day.”

“You are experiencing The World of Candy effect.”

Forefaran effect

The phenomenon that something which was previously working correctly, suddenly does not work correctly when one tries to demonstrate the operation to others.

"The inventor Zuse was occasionally helped by this good fortune when, contrary to expectations, devices ran without any errors during important demonstrations, and he freely admits that this "inverse forefaran effect" has often helped him." (Der Computer — Mein Lebenswerk, by Springer-Verlag)
