What's your favorite psychological effect or mental bias?

I like Parkinson's law, where giving disproportionate weight to trivial issues gives you parkinsons disease and Allan Poe's law where you can't tell if something is meant in jest or is scary.

I like the Woozle Effect.

The normalcy bias, where people are biased towards data that's normally distributed.

For me it's the montecarlo effect, it's speculated to be caused by neurochemical imbalances and essentially causes you to think that every car you see is a '71 chevy montecarlo

Publication bias, I. e. cherry picking data, mind-lock, I.e. not being able to see another one's POV, intellectual phase locking, I.e. falsifying data so you get numbers you think you should be getting, these three are a cancer

The Cannabis-effect; you think Cannabis treats every illness and through the power of the mind it actually does.

the one when the meth hits and nothing is wierd anymore

Nothing because Psychology is pseudoscience.

My psychology identifies as low functioning science on the science spectrum and I find it highly distressing when anyone or no one suggests otherwise.
