the bell effect

When a past hookup continuously pops up in your life no matter how much time has time past. If you say their name 3 times they will appear sometime in the near future. You will never escape them, even on your wedding day. They will always be there.

Me: You'll never believe who just added me on snapchat after 3 years of silence
Friend: Weren't we just talking about him the other day?

Me: I knew we shouldn't have said his name! it's the bell effect!

Jacobin effect

when a community made by and for a specific group starts to persecute anyone, even those in the community, that doesn't agree with them 100%.

originates from the French revolution after which the Jacobin group who usurped the king started to execute their own members who weren't 100% loyal to the revolution which eventually lead to a counter revolution.

Person 1: hey maybe we shouldn't hate everyone outside our group

Person 2: blasphemy!

Person 1: literal Jacobin effect

Stillusion Effect

An ironic occurrence when two situations happen either at the same time, or different times. When the blamed or the two people responsible (One at occurrence 1, one at occurrence 2) give strange but similar response or backup story. One will be lying and one will actually be telling the truth.

"I did not do it, I wouldn't have anything to do with it, why think I do such a thing?"

One is lying, one is innocent. Stillusion Effect was occurring.

It was observed that something e.g. an activity that would usually happen is massively less likely to happen if the person who suggested it is called 'Patrick'.

'Bro, last week he told me we would hang out but I haven't heard anything from him since.'
'Yeah man, that's The Patrick Effect'
