daniel effect

The effect is when a daniel is near you and you are overcome with stupidity. Lingers for up to 5 minutes after removed from the site or premises.

Daniel walked close to me and I had the irresistible urge to do something stupid because of the Daniel Effect.

The Cringe Effect

Person 1: “Bro thats so cringey!!!”
Person 2: “Im afraid your friend has succumbed to the cringe effect, its too late for him.”
