Kaleidoscope Effect

Kaleidoscope Effect: A cognitive and perceptual phenomenon where an individual views their specific religion or belief system as the exclusive truth, thereby limiting their awareness of broader, universal spiritual concepts, such as God = Light + Awareness. This effect can cause individuals to focus narrowly on the patterns and teachings within their own religious framework, much like how a kaleidoscope presents a single, fragmented view, rather than recognizing the interconnected and expansive nature of spiritual reality.

This metaphor captures the idea that, while a kaleidoscope offers beautiful and intricate patterns, it can also restrict one’s view to those patterns alone, obscuring the larger, more unified picture. By naming this effect, you highlight the importance of transcending religious exclusivity to embrace a more inclusive understanding of spirituality.

“Many people experience the kaleidoscope effect, where they see their own religion as the sole path to truth, preventing them from embracing the broader concept of God as Light and Awareness beyond religious boundaries.”

Stopwatch Effect

When a man tries to use the restroom, such as in a urinal, and another man walks in and begins speaking, breaking Male Bathroom Etiquette. The first man's stream then begins to stop flowing, and begin, as the second man starts and stops talking.

Man #1: *urinating*

Man #2: *urinating* Hey, Bob.

Man #1: *stops urinating* Stop talking, you're giving me the stopwatch effect.

The Fujimoto Effect

When a story is genuinely very well-written, is beautiful, perfect even... But it has a strong feature of NSFW content meaning liking it could make you seem weird.

This is named after Author/Mangaka "Tatsuki Fujimoto", who is well known for writing amazing stories yet constantly including sexual scenes that stop fans from sharing their his work without being judged.

(TBC, Being written by Tatsuki Fujimoto is not a requirement for the Fujimoto Effect to Apply)

"Mannn I love Fire Force but the fan service is outrageous"

"Ah, The Fujimoto Effect huh?"

"Yep"

Tunison Effect

A more extreme version of the Streisand Effect, the Tunison Effect occurs when someone is so self unaware as to not realize their constant whining about a very ignorable problem only calls further attention to the problem.

Mike’s incessant whining about something that happened a decade ago and everyone else has forgotten about only creates a bigger Tunison Effect.

CG5 Effect

the CG5 effect is where a meme dies or falls under controversy after the YouTube music star CG5 (Charles "Charlie" Duncan Green V) makes a music video about a that meme. The first example of the CG5 effect was the CG5 song "Find Da Wae" a song about the Uganda Knuckles meme which saw a massive decline after the release of the song on YouTube in February. The most well know and most popular example of the CG5 effect was the Grimace Shake song that was instantly killed just days after CG5 made the song. Rest. In. Peace all of the the memes that were killed by the CG5 Effect

CJ: hey the new CG5 song has CG5 effect
MD: yeah the meme was soooo new

The Gandhi Effect

If you're idolized enough, people will ignore all the horrible things you've done in your life. Being deceased is optional, although it has been proven to make the effect more...effective.

The Gandhi Effect is named for Mahatma Gandhi, who is often worshipped as a hero around the world, despite the fact that he was a serial rapist.
