Get the The Parabole Effectmug. The psychological phenomenon where an individual experiences frustration or regret upon discovering a beneficial change or opportunity that occurs immediately after they leave or finish an experience. It often involves feelings of envy, loss, or unfairness, as the timing of the improvement would have directly benefited the individual had it occurred earlier. This effect can lead to counterfactual thinking and a sense of "what could have been."
"The university just announced new funding for research projects, but I’m graduating next month. I guess I'm experiencing the after-timing effect."
"I spent years working at that company, and just after I left, they introduced flexible work-from-home options. It’s the After-Timing Effect at play!"
"After years of hard work, I finally graduate, and now they’re offering a campus-wide discount for DoorDash—classic After-Timing Effect!"

Instead of having common sense, they come across as stupid or even as retarded. It is named after Luca who can go from a legendary mathematician to a full set 8 fucktard. If you experience this effect, please seek help as we are still investigating Luca's case of this effect. He experiences a brutal case of the Luca Effect on a daily basis, and that is why we have to investigate him. There are many causations and correlations, such as a terrible hairstyle, daily swimming, and finally - it mostly effects neeks who have something stuck up their ass. This illness has similarities to down syndrome.

It is named after the British disc jockey, John Peel, who admitted to having sex with underage children, and who, after his death, turned out to have got a fifteen year old pregnant, and who started dating two of his wives when they were just fifteen years old. If John Peel had lived longer, he would have gone to prison, but because people like how he was a disc jockey who played interesting music, they overlook that, and there is even a stage at Glastonbury named after him. Conversely, the same people will criticise less appealing celebrities who did less bad things.

People hate Woody Allen, but love Prince who did exactly the same thing and even had a child with his adopted daughter. That's just the John Peel effect.
Sean Connery admitted that he often slapped women around the face to put them in their place, but people cried when he died - that's the John Peel effect.
There's a real John Peel effect going on with David Bowie - he's worse than Rolf Harris, but everyone still loves him.
