The displacement effect

When a heterosexual, cisgender male is incorporated into a gender-queer, queer, female friend group burdened with the patriarchal wrongdoings experience by the other members of the friend group despite not being associated with the male majority. For a man to fall under the displacement effect, he can only be incorporated into a singular group.
Andie (she/they): I hate men
Max (they/them): speak your truth Andie!
Matt (he/him): guys I'm right here
Andie (she/they): it's ok Matt, you're part of the displacement effect.

Futurama effect

The effect caused by an artificial and arbitrarily imposed wait on an action you're waiting for a human to process even though it could and should be completely and totally fucking automated in 2021. The human in question at the end of the waiting period will literally pick up a clipboard or look at some excel sheet and click process on some 90s looking terminal program to make whatever you're waiting for happen and ultimately relieve you of the agony. Named after the Futurama storyline of them unfreezing people after x amount of years have passed from their death.
- Hey Marge, that international wire transfer you were waiting for has finally came through after 20 days, must have been a mess to process for them.
- Nah, I think we're just unknowing victims of the futurama effect.

The Keith Lee effect

The Keith Lee effect can be seen when a small restaurant posts over tiktok about their food and Keith Lee replies with a post of his own helping them out and giving them new customers.
The Keith Lee effect is incredibly helpful to small businesses that sell any type of food or drink.

“Riya, why did you get a 95 on that history test? Maybe if you didn’t go out to dinner with your commoner friends you could’ve gotten 100.”
^ meanwhile the “commoners” are just other people the same age as you
This is the commoner effect
