A social phenomenon where individuals or groups expend more effort and resources when progressing slowly towards a goal, as opposed to when moving swiftly and decisively. This mirrors the biological quirk of kangaroos, who use more energy to move slowly than they do at higher speeds due to their unique muscular and tendon structure.
The team experienced the Kangaroo Effect while working on the project; they were burning out during the planning phase, but once they started executing their tasks, they progressed much more efficiently.

When a person or persons find themselves inexplicably drawn either a trilby, glasses a scarf or all of the above. This person will then want to molest everything that moves. A known symptom of the Carpenter effect also includes blaring classical music from hidden speakers around your body, some may also find themselves compelled to provide a 'tuneful' accompaniment. They will look a bit silly.

An term made by me at 3 am looking at minutephysics video about the grandfather "paradox"
The Grandfather Paradox is when you go back in time and kill your grandfather but since your grandpa is dead, you cant go back in time since.. u know... you dont exist. But since you dont exist your grandpa exists which means YOU exist but then you go back in time and kill your grandpa, and it keeps going on forever.
But in minutephysics video he talks about how it´s NOT an paradox (cant have links sorry)

Me: Have you heard of The Grandfather Effect?
Friend: No. What´s that?
Me: The definition is: If an action makes that action impossible, that action is both possible, and impossible. - Me 2020, it is kinda like Schrödinger's cat.
Friend: Ok, i understand now.
