Six degrees of Streisand Effect'ing
For me, third order Streisand effect is this song immediately beginning to play in my head.
Maybe as a 4th order effect, Millenials can use this song to attempt to explain to Zoomers what genuine optimism for the future looked and sounded like.
I hated that for like a half year you could hear it from all speakers, everywhere, it became annoying very quickly. That's what it reminds me.
Sturgeon's Law.
Science fiction writer Ted Sturgeon was once asked why 90% of science fiction was crap.
His reply was that 90% of everything is crap.

The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side.
Trying to get someone to use Poe's Law?
Thats an isoceles triangle you id... Oh, carry on.
The effect keeps streisanding.
I'm gonna heat me up some duck sauce.
As a late millenial, i always thought she was an actress.
I thought she was a journalist. I think I'm getting her mixed up with Barbara Walters.
I know she did a duet with someone for a movie tie in song. I don't remember the song, I don't remember the movie, I don't remember who the male singer in the duet was.
Acting and singing often overlap. Her credit in What's Up Doc? was acting but she also sings in that.
Gen X here, Barbara Streisand was definitely well-known to both my gen and people older than me (i.e. boomers and beyond). She was (is) both singer and movie actor.
Poe's Law and Godwin's Law otoh, I'd never know about these people if it wasn't for their "laws".
But, do they also therefore know more about her mansion on the cliffside?
Damn your black heart Barbra Streisand
When do they learn about her version of Jingle Bells?
