As it becomes widely known that a particular search returns few or no hits, that will cease to be the case.
A take on the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, it really is more closely related to the Observer Effect but due to conflation of these terms (and having been coined already on many sites) it is known as Internet Uncertainty Principle.. Tho really, Internet Observer Effect is a much better imo >_>
huh? this quote i found online says that googling for absolute+zero+lesbians yields 0 results, but i get several hundred... what gives????
The answer is Internet Uncertainty Principle

Related to the Peter Principal (by Dr. Laurence J. Peter) that describes job promotion to the point of incompetence, the e-Peter Principal occurs when we purchase a piece of technology that finally exceeds our ability to competently use the technology for the intended purpose. For some of us, it's the treadmill that becomes the close-hangar, for others it is the digital camera that serves as a paper weight because we are tired of buying memory cards and stuffing them full of photos...
What happened? Margie used to be able to text message on her cell.
Yeah, but the new toy hit her with an e-Peter Principle. She can't even answer a phone call.

When an actor turns on the creator/writers/producers of a job that made them rich and/or famous.
Did you see Angus T. Jones bashing Two and a Half Men!?! That's an example of The Katherine Heigle Principle at work.

The r/writing subreddit Principle states that if your question starts with the words "Is it ok" or something similar to that then the answer is invariably yes.
"Hello, r/writing. Can I use a particular gimmick or a plot device that has been used before but because I don't actually read books or do any research I just assume it to be a highly original idea?"
"According to the r/writing subreddit Principle, the answer is always yes. You can write whatever you want."
"But is it ok if, like, my main character dies in the end? I'm afraid the average reader will be put off by my creative genius."
"Yes! Stop asking other people for validation! Grow a backbone and write what you want!"

A completely useless class that was created basically so that the College Board can earn an extra buck. The class has not been accepted by any popular colleges or universities currently, as the class is completely based off of logic puzzles and nothing useful. AP Computer Science Principles does not have any learning base within it, since literally all of the practice questions can be answered by someone with no coding experience whatsoever. Basically, if you want a completely unenriching, free, and pointless hour tacked on to your schedule, then sign up for this class.
John- "Only half the kids killed themselves in AP Computer Science Principles today!"
Billy- "What!?! Only half!?!"

This law of nature states that if you see a gross bug in your room and it crawls out of sight, it could be anywhere in the room. It follows that there is a significant possibility it could be about to crawl onto you, and this fact will eventually freak you out.
Borrowed from the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which states that both the position and momentum of an electron cannot be known.
I just saw a spider go behind the desk, and by the Hiding Bug Uncertainty Principle it could come out of nowhere and crawl on me at any moment.

The effect of trusting someone less, due to an inspirational quote on their social media profiles.
His LinkedIn profile totally triggers my Birkhölzer-Rejection-Principle (BRP) - it is full of Steve Jobs quotes.
