The Chaparral Effect

When something that you would’ve never even imagined could become possible becomes possible. Things that are statistically impossible, but happen anyway.

The chaparral effect is real, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I checked my security footage from my small business and saw someone defecating in front of my shop at five in the morning on a random Monday.

The Mel Gibson Effect

When a celebrity loses their prior popularity due to an unpopular expression of an opinion,

Person 1: Man, my friend James used to be so popular, but after he called that guy a faggot, everyone started shit-talking him.
Person 2: Yeah, classic case of the Mel Gibson effect.

The Ren Effect

The Ren Effect was born from the mantra of multi-disciplinary artist and questionable human Ren Gill (@renmakesmusic). It is the idea that a single person can be moved by an act of kindness, and as they are lifted up, so too will they lift others in a rising tide. The Ren Effect invites people to open themselves up to new ideas and listen to those whose views differ from their own. Ultimately, it is a movement towards a more united world free from hate and greed. It is a reigniting of creativity, a reframing of thought, and the desire to just be a better person.

The Ren Effect inspired me to volunteer at my local homeless shelter, and it has given me a new understanding of the discrimination homeless people can face.

Conditioner Effect

When your friend makes up shit and acts like it’s a thing everyone knows about, but no, it’s not.

Dude, it’s the Shampoo effect. You’ve never heard of the shampoo effect.

No man, that’s not a thing. That’s the conditioner effect. You just made that up!

Bad Noonie Effect

When make up won’t stick to the skin around your eyebrows and it leaves you looking like a raccoon eyed loser.

That is the “Bad Noonie Effect”.
