The Mark Effect

The Mark Effect (n.)
The psychological phenomenon in which an individual with little to no offline grounding begins to place disproportionate importance on online achievements, perceiving them as markers of superiority. Over time, this distorted valuation erodes their sense of reality, leading to an inability to distinguish between their digital persona and their real-life self.

Kidney Bean Effect

A phenomenon where a person who is merely mildly annoyed is actually more dangerous and/or irritable than when they are extremely pissed off.

The Kidney Bean Effect is named for kidney beans, which must be cooked on high heat to make them safe to eat. Cooking them on low heat, on the other hand, makes them even more harmful for human consumption.
