Farnsworth Effect

A sudden urge to flee the planet triggered by witnessing or experiencing something absurd, cringe-worthy, or disheartening.

Discovering that people were trading rare toenail clippings as cryptocurrency triggered a profound Farnsworth Effect in me.

Thumbnail effect

when you think a girl is hot from the thumbnail of her profile picture, but upon further investigation, you find she is a slampig.

"Why didn't you smash last night, this girl looks hot"
"No click on her profile, it's just the thumbnail effect. She's gross."

HIM effect

When you start listening to a band or artist you never listened to before (or even heard of) because you met someone who listens to them and got a crush on them. Named after the finnish gothic rock band HIM. It started from when people would meet Diksi or Joca, then they'd get a crush on one of them and start listening to their favourite band HIM.

A: And then she said bye back and I put on my headphones and listened to Curta'n wall. Ohhh man.
B: Since when did you start listening to Curta'n wall?!?!
A: Since forever duhhh
B: Shut up dude, you've been listening to them ever since you met Jane.
A: Aw man, it's the HIM effect once again...
