The 2020 Effect

The instinctual feeling that it is still 2020. Shared by many members of Gen Z, who feel like past events are closer than they actually are; as if it is still 2020. Probably spurred by the pandemic and isolation, but nobody really knows where it comes from.

Most years have a satisfying ending, where after Christmas and New Years you get to reset and to on to the next year. However, COVID didn't care about the holiday season, and the defining characteristic of 2020 was carried on into the following year. In a way, it felt like 2020 never really ended.
"RIP my man Harambe"
"Dude, that meme is like 4 years old."
"I think you mean almost 8 years old."
"wait..."

Jax Effect

The Jax Effect occurs when you have a problem but it miraculously fixes itself the moment someone else looks at the problem.
I brought my computer problem to Jax at IT and it fixed itself the moment she looked it. The Jax Effect just happened.

"Hey Jax. My learning modules aren't loading when I try to launch them. I keep getting an 'Access Denied' Not sure what's going on."
"OK let me take a look. Oh it looks like it's loading fine and I didn't even have to do anything."
"OMG I just got Jaxed! Thank you!"
"You're very welcome!"

"Hey can you come over here? Something's messed up."
"OK. What is it?" Walks over.
"When I click this, nothing happens... oh wait.. What? It's working now. It wasn't working before."
"You just got Jaxed."

okc effect

The okc effect is when you continue chatting with someone on okc instead of meeting them. Usually, it sets in about 10 minutes into a chat, potentially earlier. After onset of the okc effect, one or both chatters get unrealistically high hopes based on a false sense of intimacy. In turn, the okc effect becomes a vicious circle. The pressure of meeting becomes higher and higher, so you continue chatting and chatting.
Dood 1: I've been chatting for weeks with this totally hot guy on okc. He's super cool.

Dood 2: when are you gonna hook up man?
Dood 1: soon, maybe next weekend.

Dood 2: dude, totz okc effect! You ain't never meeting. You're too chicken shit he may be fugly.

Trump effect

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!”
