An effect where the quality of a group or community deteriorates the longer you stay a part of it.
You think a community is awesome and flawless when you first join it, but as you stay longer and learn about it's wrongdoings, you begin to understand how flawed the server is. This will happen until you either accept the group for what it is, or leave it in disgust.

Friend: Hey, are you still a part of that one Minecraft server?
Me: Not anymore.
Friend: What? I thought you loved that server.
Me: Yea, until I realized how toxic the moderators were.
Friend: Must be The Maltempus Effect at play.

The ability to make the absolute worst decision every single time. Named after the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The Johnson Effect: when you could have had a smaller lockdown for a short period of time but instead you chose to do nothing and now the whole country is screwed.

(n.) an unspecified period of time before spring break during which a student (or faculty member) loses the ability to accurately perceive the passage of time.
Dr. Richard Block identified a framework of four interrelated factors that affect this perception: (1) characteristics of the time experiencer, (2) time-related behaviors and judgments, (3) contents of a time period, and (4) activities during a time period.
The Spring Break Effect will cause noticeable changes in everyday life. For example, students will likely experience feelings of acedia (mental sloth, apathy, indifference, boredom) or exhaustion caused by sleep deprivation. Days will run together to the point where they are distinguished only by the assignments or exams scheduled. Most of an individual's "productive" time will be spent on academic tasks that will range between mindless and tedious. (If a suffer is subjected to these conditions for extended periods of time, particularly when tasks are mindlessly tedious, it is recommended that they consult a mental health professional.) Finally, those affected will spend increased and possibly unhealthy amounts of time on social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, if the subject is female).

Person B: "I don't know. It feels like Friday."
Person C: "Dude, you're experiencing the Spring Break Effect."
Person A: "Is that fatal?"
Person C: "No, but staying awake for 72 hours might."
Person B: "Shit."

When a person has all the bad luck in the world and can’t ever catch a break. To have everything that happens in your life never go in your favor. Basically the worst luck in the world.

Trevor: “That my friend is the Joe Effect!”
