The Lahaina effect

Wanting disregard for any lessons learned due to urban wildfires, including operational fire hydrants, warning sirens and water reservoirs.

LA is experiencing the Lahaina effect, fire hydrants are empty, reservoirs are low and commin sense emergency procedures are ignored.

Arkham Subreddit Effect

When a subreddit randomly goes batshit insane, with stupid shitposts and genuinely insane people. Originally from r/batmarkham, hence the name.

Guy 1: All of my favorite subreddits are being flooded with stupid shitposts. What the fuck does "is he stupid?" even mean!?

Guy 2: Blame the Arkham Subreddit Effect...

Guy 1: Why?

Guy 2: Just take a stroll through r/batmanarkham and come back after 10 seconds.

Brostekian Effect

The phenomenon is a type of synchronicity you experience when you are talking about or thinking about something, and then you see/hear it immediately afterward. This can be seen on a billboard, heard on the radio, written in a newspaper, etc.

"Man, I was talking to Jake about Willow... and as we were talking about her, Taylor Swift's song 'Willow' started playing on the radio. The Brostekian Effect is crazy!"

Doggler Effect

When you see a man or woman from a distance and they look attractive, but as they walk closer to you they get uglier and uglier.

Wow, that girl looked great when I saw her about 100 feet away. But when she same closer she looked like a swamp creature. That's the doggler effect for you!

When you touch a cold part of your body with a warm part of your body and you have to focus to feel one sensation or the other.

I warmed my cold hand on my warm leg. I experienced the Ascher Effect by focusing on feeling both the warming and the cooling.

Lorraine: It’s worth it
