The Tutu Effect: n. The phenomenon of misremembering the Mandela Effect, named after Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who many people falsely remember as being Nelson Mandela. This is often caused by confusing the two prominent South African leaders who were active during the anti-apartheid movement. Can also refer to misremembering details about other events or people that are similar in nature. Additionally, it can also refer to meta-irony, where people recognize that they are having a 'Tutu Effect' moment.
I was convinced that Charlize Theron was in the movie 'Aeon Flux' but my friend corrected me and said it was actually Margot Robbie. I must have fallen victim to the Tutu Effect.

The Moron-Kruger Effect is a psychological phenomenon/cognitive blackhole, in which, the moron in question lacks sufficient information about a given topic and still chooses to argue as if they know it all.
Main difference between it and the Dunning–Kruger effect is that the moron actively chooses not to educate themselves and uses their previously stated arguments as I they were universally accepted.
4 notable stages of the Moron-Kruger Effect are:
• Indulging in a conversation about a topic that the moron knows/heard little or insufficient information about and shares their thoughts on it.
• When met with scrutiny, the moron will justify their takes as if they were misunderstood.
• The moron is easily enraged at the responses that they had received. Furthering his spiral into confusing misinformation with facts.
• Finally, the moron will now start to double down, knowing that they are in the wrong, yet they choose to not rectify previously made mistakes and will keep spreading misinformation.

"That guy thinks that all game developers are lazy because of the success of so-and-so and now they keep arguing about what they don't know about when proven wrong? That's the Moron-Kruger Effect!"
"My neighbor thinks 5G is cancerous because they heard it uses more power and now they think COVID-19 was a conspiracy!? Moron-Kruger Effect."

Get the Trevin Effectmug. Short for the effect of @ChisAthenaeum on instagram. Chi is a wretched, impulsive, homicidal, and vile woman that gives off sexually to "romance induced" cannibalism, and modern day necrophilia. Chi is the human reincarnation of a succubus known for bringing bad omens into the lives of everyone around them, they practice dark magic of many kinds, selfishness is a key attribute for them, and they are a raging sociopath. Due to Chi being "attractive", they are able to seduce your usual man, woman, and species with ease, so victims of their ill intentions come quick. When you meet Chi, and nothing but bad luck starts to cloud your life right before your very own eyes, we like to call that the Chi Effect. There are reports of people slowly descending into madness after knowing them for a long period of time.
"What do you mean your uncle died of mysterious causes? Do you know anyone named Chi? Oh! They're your friend? Must be the Chi Effect lingering around you. You will probably also die soon-"
