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).

The Nero Effect is the phenomenon of becoming a more hateful and rude person once you are in the presence of "Nero" (Pharaoh). This strange effect has no research to determine its known causes but researchers have developed a theory that it spreads through NCT or negative cursed technique. NCT is how Nero is able to channel his hater and it spreads through reading his messages or communicating with him in any way.
Nero: Shut up n*gga
Cici: that's not nice or sum soft shi
Phillip: Tiwa shut up damn
Nero Effect the act of becoming a hater around Nero
