glory days effect

The Glory Days Effect is when you are remembering someone's physical appearance from the past, as being WAY more impressive than it ACTUALLY was, and your memory plays tricks on you.

E.g. You remember the person as being super jacked, fit, shredded, etc. But when you go back and look at old pictures/watch the old movies, they don't look NEARLY as impressive as they did in your memory.
"Damn Bro, remember how shredded Brad Pitt was in Fight Club?" (Then you look and realize he was dope fiend lean, and about 150 lbs).

"DAMN, my mind's playing tricks on me, that's gotta be The Glory Days Effect".

"I went to HS with this guy who never took steroids, was 7% Bodyfat, and benching 405 lbs" (Then you go back and see a training video, and realize he was doing half reps with 3 spotters).

"Naw Bro, he couldn't even do that with 3 plates by himself, you got hit by The Glory Days Effect".

"Omg Ryan Reynolds in Blade: Trinity was jacked AF!" (You look in the mirror and realize you are now WAY bigger, and leaner than he was back then).

"That's so crazy, I actually look better than this now... Definitely The Glory Days Effect, in full force".

The Babbo Effect

The Babbo Effect: The act of engaging in having all the available resources, each used to fulfill an individual purpose. Just to neglect, and use each one for all the wrong reasons; furthermore denying all reasonable acquisitions towards how you're engaging in activities.
You spent all that money on something, just to fall into The Babbo Effect's trap.

It's literally said in a song "the internet is for porn, so grab your dick and double click for porn porn porn." Don't let the Babbo Effect stop you from engaging in VR Porn. I mean come on who wants to reach a level of loneliness, where having The Virtual Access for your perfect VR Person isn't enough to beat off to.
