The Angel Effect

The angel effect manifest itself in particular social situations, mostly during a discussion or an argument in which multiple people are involved. Imagine you're having a heated discussion with a person (they're insulting you or something) and a friend steps in to defend your side. You, instead of thanking your friend, start to insult him back for no apparent reason. This is the angel effect.
Person 1: Yo bro how much cream have you used in this pasta, it's awful.
Friend: Nah, it's nice I enjoyed it
You (referring to the friend): shut up!! You can't even cook.
Person 1: Guys I just witnessed the angel effect

Futurama effect

The effect caused by an artificial and arbitrarily imposed wait on an action you're waiting for a human to process even though it could and should be completely and totally fucking automated in 2021. The human in question at the end of the waiting period will literally pick up a clipboard or look at some excel sheet and click process on some 90s looking terminal program to make whatever you're waiting for happen and ultimately relieve you of the agony. Named after the Futurama storyline of them unfreezing people after x amount of years have passed from their death.
- Hey Marge, that international wire transfer you were waiting for has finally came through after 20 days, must have been a mess to process for them.
- Nah, I think we're just unknowing victims of the futurama effect.

The Dr Helga Effect

The Dr. Helga Effect is a situation where you continue to preemptively refine and improve upon your work simply because you have agreed to share it with, and receive feedback from, Dr Helga before you actually share it with Dr Helga.
Person 1: I wrote an article and revised it 5 times before I would even dare submit it.

Person 2: That's the Dr Helga Effect for you!

Substitute Teacher Effect

When a struggling sports team fires their coach, and a new coach comes in and the team initially does really well.

Everyone is all smiles, the new coach tries new things, is fun and upbeat, and seemingly *changes the culture* so the team performs really well.....until they don't.

The few good games are due to excitement, and once the substitute teacher has to be a real teacher, fails spectacularly because he actually has to teach.
Boris: Oh fuck, you see how the new coach has turned this team around. I told you the old guy sucked.

Edgar: Meh, it is the Substitute Teacher Effect, come back to me in 3 months. Team is just playing well. New guy can't coach.

3 months later.....

Edgar: Team sucks, and coach looks really constipated.

Boris: Ya, you were right. Substitute Teacher Effect wins again.
