I’ve always been fascinated by the observations, adages, and aphorisms that we (often sarcastically) designate as eponymous laws, effects, or principles. They are often funny (and memorable because of it), but many of them speak to very fundamental features of our psychology and the human condition more generally. Murphy’s Law is probably the most well known example.
Ruescas' law of Tabs: "The number of open tabs in your browser is proportional to the degree of cognitive overload that a person has at a specific moment.
These are great!
Betteridge's law of headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
The "Bullshit Asymmetry Principle" / "Brandolini's law" ...
"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it."

' “Conquest’s Law”, which states that “Everyone is a reactionary about subjects he understands”. ' [1]

Lincoln's Law: If a country or Group's name has the word "People's" in it...it will have nothing to do with either democracy or The People.
there's one missing:
Ruescas' law of Tabs: "The number of open tabs in your browser is proportional to the degree of cognitive overload that a person has at a specific moment.
Murthy’s Law is better written as, “Whatever can happen will happen.”
