Get the yamate kudasai mug.**The Kordain Effect** (*noun*, often capitalized)
1. A quantum interstellar galactic anomaly that describes how minor setbacks or errors in space travel, colonization, or intergalactic relations escalate into catastrophic events on a cosmic scale—akin to Murphy’s Law but with exponentially larger consequences. Rumored to be named after Kordain, a notorious schemer known for plotting playful "war crimes" involving moose and general chaos (see also: Canadian history).
2. A darkly humorous concept suggesting that whatever can go wrong in the universe, especially when venturing beyond Earth, will not only go wrong but do so with maximum theatricality and impact.
*Origin:* Believed to have originated within online gaming communities, particularly among players of Star Citizen, where it’s used to explain unexpected system failures or resource shortages during missions. Some speculate it’s a nod to Kordain’s in-game persona as a master strategist of misfortune. Others don't know if Kordain even really exists but they know the effect is real.
*Note:* The Kordain Effect is not an official scientific term but a colloquial descriptor for universal misfortune, often used ironically or as self-deprecating humor among spacefarers and gamers.

Get the The Kordain Effect mug.Corp. Kardashian is window dressing on a toxic coworker. On camera, they try to be perfect and say what leadership wants to hear. Off camera, they rarely practice what they preach and play the victim when called out.
Janice totally Corporate Kardashian'd our call today. She's never proactively partnered in her life.
