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.”

Guy: I'll never upgrade to Windows 11, Windows 10 is way better!
Doctor: You seem to be under the influence of the Windows 10 Effect, Windows 11 is the same shit. I'd recommend switching to Linux or macOS for a change.
