The Millburn Effect is the sense of dread/anger/disbelief triggered by watching someone blithely make illogical and dangerous decisions that will have life-threatening consequences for themselves and others.
It is named after the biologist played by Rafe Spall in the Alien prequel science fiction film "Prometheus", who upon encountering a lethal-looking alien cobra, decides to pet it like a kitten.
It describes feelings of bewildered anger and anxiety resulting from watching people act with reckless stupidity and thus endangering themselves and others like the f**kheads they are.
"Why did Millburn try to pick up the space cobra?"
"Because he's a f*****g moron, lad."
"She's going to investigate the strange noise while alone in the house in her underwear. It's the Millburn Effect again."
A strange occurrence that is common in video games. It happens when you can't find something that you commonly see when you aren't looking for it. The effect is named after the 75th pokemon of the Kanto region Graveler and its tendancy to disappear when you look for it. This is surprisingly a very common effect.
Nerd 1: "I can't find my soul silver! It was right here all week!"
Nerd 2: "Its the Graveler effect."

This is actually an off-shoot of the Anna Nicole Smith effect, which itself is derived from The Jesus Effect. It basically means nobody care or liked someone and then they died and suddenly everyone cares.
"Harambe deserved a chance, but they killed him in cold blood."
"This is the Anna Nicole Smith Effect all over again, you didnt care about that monkey but now it dies and youre all about apes rights... Hokay."
"Dont even try debating it with him, he will just pretend he cared even more. The Harambe Effect got him good."
When teens that live in small towns often get drunk, high, ect. due to boredom. It can also be seen as the average age for such activities being much lower in said town.
Guy 1: why is it that everyone from (small town) lost their virginity so young?
Guy 2: idk man, guess thats just The Nevada Effect.
When you are with people who are doing something, even when you arent doing it, you feel the same effect. It works depending on if you mentally believe in it or not.
Since I'm straight edge, when my friends drink, i use the placebo effect and feel the same as they do.

A high degree of accuracy in a generally editable information system (like Wikipedia) which is derived from the law of large numbers: while some inaccuracies may be occasionally saved into the system, the number of edits per hour with accurate information makes the system "self-healing." Thus, over time these social information systems tend to be statistically more accurate than similar systems published by a closed source, such as a small number of editors.
While Bob's Game Maps are pretty good, the GameMap Wiki tends to have better, more timely information. Because of the Wikipedia Effect, the GameMap Wiki gets new updates to game worlds near real-time, whereas Bob takes several weeks to get his updates done.
