The anime effect

When you watch anime for the first time or are watching a new series jojo's bizarre adventure you may experience an effect which I coined as the 'The anime effect'

Symptoms include:

Can't stop thinking about anime
Your imagination is plagued by anime, for example you may be thinking about killing your annoying teacher. However now you think about it in anime
Everything you do will be experienced as an anime training montage
All thinks you experience will be unconsciously narrated in your head
When you imagine talking to somebody, you may talk in something that resembles Japanese in your head with subtitles

I now have the anime effect bc i just watched jojo

after-timing effect

The psychological phenomenon where an individual experiences frustration or regret upon discovering a beneficial change or opportunity that occurs immediately after they leave or finish an experience. It often involves feelings of envy, loss, or unfairness, as the timing of the improvement would have directly benefited the individual had it occurred earlier. This effect can lead to counterfactual thinking and a sense of "what could have been."

"The university just announced new funding for research projects, but I’m graduating next month. I guess I'm experiencing the after-timing effect."

"I spent years working at that company, and just after I left, they introduced flexible work-from-home options. It’s the After-Timing Effect at play!"

"After years of hard work, I finally graduate, and now they’re offering a campus-wide discount for DoorDash—classic After-Timing Effect!"

Quavo effect

The Quavo effect refers to the phenomenon where individuals born in certain months, particularly those aligned with seasons like winter, exhibit a natural advantage when it comes to fasting. This term is inspired by the rapper Quavo, who was born during the fasting month of Ramadan on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991. Followers of this concept suggest that those born in winter months may possess greater endurance, resilience, and adaptability during fasting periods, possibly due to seasonal factors that influence physical and psychological development.

Ever since I learned about the Quavo effect, I've noticed that my friends born in winter adapt to fasting much better than others; it’s like they have an innate strength that just makes it easier for them!
