Tyson Effect

Name after famed boxer Mike Tyson. When someone in their youth was careless, reckless, or lost in their ways, only to, later in life reflect and articulate, how misguided their intentions were and use the experience to affect positive change.

Nate Diaz seems to be experiencing, the Tyson Effect, as he looks back over his career with some regrets.

Boombox Effect

This very rarely occurs when you play the "Chicken Dance" in a very conveniently plain field with a single tree in the state of Nevada, optionally needs a dancer in the background. Approached by a man, you must push him to complete the objective, however this will result in your untimely demise at the hands of said man, named Hank J. Wimbleton. Fortunately, your legacy will result in 12 episodes that escalate from fighting Jeb (jesus but not really), to a sheriff, a clown who breaks the laws of physics seeking vengeance, and a demon.

At the time of writing, this currently has only been attempted once, with great success.

"12 episodes later...this was the result of 1 guy with a boombox, we call it the boombox 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.

Named after Walter Bloomberg, a person on X/Twitter who tweeted false information on trump’s pause on tariffs. An effect that happens when the market briefly spikes after investors hear false information about something.

The first instance of the Bloomberg effect happened on April 7th, 2025 when an account by the name of “Walter Bloomberg” tweeted unverified information that trump would put a 90 day pause on tariffs with the exception of china. This caused Dow, NASDAQ, &, S&P 500’s stocks to briefly spikes after investors heard the news.
