Get the Kremlin effectmug. An event that happened to a lot of people like a whole generation. Where everyone remember one thing but it was never like that aka Remembering wrong. It doesn't seem to make sense though. Like as if a time loop or everyone is in a different universe. Often thought of to started in the 2010s as zoomers or gen Y were noticing that things are different now.

Get the Mandela effectmug. The Wilhelm Effect is an auditory illusion where the listener has difficulty recognizing the origin of a certain sound effect to truly be the original source after hearing it be sampled many times throughout other types of media. It is named after the Wilhelm Scream. which was used as a sound effect by movies and TV shows many times throughout history.
Person 1: Where exactly did the guy yelling "SHUT THE F*** UP!" come from?
Person 2: It comes from this clip of a Penn and Teller episode.
Person 1: I've heard this sound effect SO MANY TIMES to the point where the original feels edited.
Person 2: That sound effect is a good example of The Wilhelm Effect.

Get the The Wilhelm Effectmug. When a film contains a number of good scenes which are almost immediately followed by scenes of a far lesser quality, causing the film to slowly move downhill until there's no hope in sight. The downhill effect was made popular by Raymond Walter back in 1988 with his film "Blue Code."
"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" really suffered from the downhill effect unlike the much superior film "Me and You and Everyone We Know."

Get the Downhill effectmug. When permission to be racist is granted to the public by somebody famous who says some racist shit (often claiming later it was a “joke - wink wink”) and then hate crimes/hate speech go up against the same ethnic group that was targeted by that famous person. Especially pronounced when other public figures publicly agree with the racist remarks or refuse to publicly criticize them. A statistically significant effect that’s been documented as beginning during Trump’s presidential campaign, and continuing through his presidency and post presidency.
“Wow, the membership in white supremacist groups and far right hate groups went up like 400% between 2015 and 2020”
“Yup, that’s the Trump effect. He’s their best recruiter. By all means, let’s elect him again in 2024!”

Get the Trump effectmug. The effect where pre-COVID era felt like a mere dream (or a trailer for our current life), as we're now 4 years into post-COVID era (as of 2026)
Ever since the pandemic, my memories from before COVID-19 pandemic feel like a distant memory, almost like a dream; I guess I’m experiencing that pre-COVID dream effect.

Get the pre-COVID dream effectmug. I almost gave myself bangs when I woke up because of the quarantine effect.
I just ran 4 miles and oddly didn't feel thirsty because of the quarantine effect.
I just deep cleaned my whole house and then made myself Ramen because of the quarantine effect.
