Boombox Effect

This very rarely occurs when you play the "Chicken Dance" in a very conveniently plain field with a single tree in the state of Nevada, optionally needs a dancer in the background. Approached by a man, you must push him to complete the objective, however this will result in your untimely demise at the hands of said man, named Hank J. Wimbleton. Fortunately, your legacy will result in 12 episodes that escalate from fighting Jeb (jesus but not really), to a sheriff, a clown who breaks the laws of physics seeking vengeance, and a demon.

At the time of writing, this currently has only been attempted once, with great success.

"12 episodes later...this was the result of 1 guy with a boombox, we call it the boombox 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 Blouse Effect

When a overweight male or woman wears an untucked oversized shirt. Occurs when the shirt hangs over the belly due to beer or in a rare occasion, cookies.

The opposite of the dun-lop effect which is when one's belly dun-lops over their belt.This can also be interpreted as being linked to the tire brand name "dunlop," as in rare occasions, the fat creates a tire-like illusion around the middle.

Look at the blouse effect on the grumpy man who eats too many cookies, sugar free of course.

Rollercoaster Effect

A type of cognitive bias where a person will miss a lot of details the first time they experience something, and only catch those details and fully enjoy the experience when experiencing it for a second or even third time. This is due to the person being in a state of shock and strong emotion as things are constantly catching them by surprise. The name comes from the fact that this effect is most commonly and famously known to occur on intense rollercoasters.

I had to watch the anime series again, the rollercoaster effect really got me.
