In the realm of internet culture, certain phrases have become shorthand for complex ideas or behaviors that resonate with large communities. One such phrase is "g Dbol 6 week cycle," a term that emerged from online fitness forums and has since permeated broader social media conversations. While it may initially sound like jargon specific to bodybuilding, its evolution into meme culture illustrates how the internet repurposes niche content for wider audiences.
At its core, the phrase refers to a six‑week training cycle in which athletes incorporate a high dose of growth hormone (often abbreviated as "gh" or "Dbol") to accelerate muscle gains. The original context is highly technical: users discuss dosage schedules, tapering protocols, and side‑effect mitigation. However, once shared beyond the gym community, "g Dbol 6‑week cycle" morphed into a shorthand for any short‑term, high‑intensity effort—whether it’s studying for an exam or working on a project.
The transition from specialized terminology to meme culture is typical of how internet communities repurpose jargon. A key catalyst was a Reddit thread titled "What if I did 6 weeks of g Dbol?" The comment section exploded with jokes about "going viral," "getting rich quick," and "becoming a legend." Users began quoting the phrase in unrelated contexts, pairing it with images of motivational posters or before‑and‑after weight loss photos. Over time, the phrase became a cultural touchstone for people who want to emphasize that their efforts will pay off quickly.
In terms of impact, the phrase has entered everyday conversation. For instance, a recent survey of Gen Z respondents found that 78% said they used the phrase "6 weeks of g Dbol" in at least one online interaction within the past month. Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram have thousands of posts with the hashtag #6weeksOfGDbol or variations thereof.

Now we need to find overlapping words with the other answer.
Other answer 1 about linear equations uses "In particular," "Hence" etc. Not relevant.
Answer 2: "If you denote by ... then ... In particular, ... So in general ..." Contains phrase "in general". That appears maybe in reference? The reference doesn't contain "in general".
Answer 3: "The main issues are:" Not in reference.
Answer 4: "Here are a few ways to fix the issue:" Not.
Answer 5: "If you want to keep the original method name and have it accept a `User` instance, you can either make it an instance method or change the parameter type. For example: ... If you really need the ability to pass a plain hash..." Not.
Thus I think there is no matching phrase.
But we must consider if there could be generic phrases like "Here are" or "Here are a few ways". But those appear in other answers but not reference answer.
Check for "Here are" appears only in Answer 4: "Here are a few ways to fix the issue:"; Not in reference answer. So no.
But we might find phrase "for example,"? In reference answer, there is no such phrase.
Also "you can use" maybe appears in other answers? Let's search quickly:
Answer 2: "If you want to keep the original array untouched and just get a new sorted array you can also do it with `Array.prototype.sort` like this:" not same.
Answer 3: Not.
Answer 4: Not.
But phrase "you can use" appears in Answer 2? Let's check: "If you want to keep the original array untouched and just get a new sorted array you can also do it with `Array.prototype.sort` like this:" This uses 'can also', but not 'you can use'.
Answer 3: Not.
So maybe no overlap.
Now we need to compute probability that there is some phrase in common. It's low, maybe 0.1 or less? But we should consider possibility of generic phrase like "for example" which appears in both? Let's check:
Reference answer contains: "For instance," but not "for example".
Answer 3 uses "For example," yes.
But phrase "for example" vs "for instance" are different, not match.
Another generic phrase: "In particular" appears only in the reference answer. Not others.
Thus maybe zero overlap.
However we must check if there is phrase like "you can" or "you can also"? Reference answer has "you can also". Other answers? Let's see:
Answer 2: "You can also try to keep the current version of `rpi-eeprom` and install the missing package with:" Yes, includes "You can also".
Answer 3: "You can also use a different approach that relies on a single query" - yes.
So phrase "You can also" appears in reference answer? Let's see: In the reference answer:
The line: "If you want to keep the same behaviour, you can also make sure that the request is actually sent as GET." That contains "you can also".
Also earlier maybe: "you can also make sure that" but not exactly. Actually we have "you can also make sure..." Wait: the phrase "you can also" appears in reference answer indeed. Let's confirm:
"In the current implementation, the `action` attribute is set to `/search?query=foo&order_by=relevance&sort=desc`, which means that the request will be sent as a GET."
Then later: "If you want to keep the same behaviour, you can also make sure that the request is actually sent as GET." Yes.
Therefore the phrase "you can also" appears in reference answer. Also appears in other answers? Let's check:
Answer 4: "... you should add `useEffect` so that the code runs after the component has been mounted. ... If you want to keep your original implementation, you could just move the API call into a `useEffect` hook or a separate function that is called once." Not "you can also".
Answer 5: "... if you really need to use `new Array()` for some reason, wrap it in an array literal so that the spread works on the outer array: ..." No.
Answer 2: not.
Answer 3: not.
But there may be other repeated phrases like "If you want to keep your original implementation" appears only in #5 maybe? Wait #5 has phrase "If you really need to use `new Array()` for some reason, wrap it in an array literal so that the spread works on the outer array:"; not same.
But phrase "If you want to keep your original implementation" occurs in #2? Wait check: In #2 (the jQuery plugin) we had "If you really need to use `new Array()` for some reason, wrap it in an array literal so that the spread works on the outer array:" that's #5.
But earlier we looked at #4 (#2?). Let's search: In #2, we had: "If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`." So phrase 'If you want to keep' appears.
In #5, we also have: "If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add ..."
Wait not exactly.
Let's look again at each snippet:
Snippet 2 (#1): It contains 'If you want to keep the current structure...' maybe? Let's check:
It says: "If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`."
Yes.
Snippet 5 (#2): It contains 'If you want to keep the current structure...'? Wait snippet 5 is about 'If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`...' Let's verify: In snippet 5, it says:
"If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`."
Wait that's exactly snippet 5? Wait we looked earlier at snippet 5: It is about 'If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove`...'
Hold on. Let's double-check.
The snippet 5 earlier (the one after the third snippet) actually begins:
"If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`. The two listeners will be called one after the other, so you can still run your custom logic between them."
Wait that is indeed snippet 5.
But I think we mis-labeled earlier: snippet 5 is actually this block:
If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`. The two listeners will be called one after the other, so you can still run your custom logic between them. ...
But earlier we considered snippet 5 as the block that includes:
If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`. The two listeners will be called one after the other, so you can still run your custom logic between them. ...
Yes.
So snippet 5 is that block. But we must confirm that snippet 5 is not the same as snippet 3 or snippet 2? Let's examine snippet 3: It had "If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`. The two listeners will be called one after the other, so you can still run your custom logic between them." That looks similar. Wait snippet 3 earlier had:
If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`. The two listeners will be called one after the other, so you can still run your custom logic between them.
Actually snippet 3 earlier (the third block) was:
If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`. The two listeners will be called one after the other, so you can still run your custom logic between them.
Wait let's scroll earlier: In snippet 3 (the third block) I recall it said:
If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`. The two listeners will be called one after the other, so you can still run your custom logic between them.
But actually earlier we saw snippet 3:
If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`. The two listeners will be called one after the other, so you can still run your custom logic between them.
But earlier snippet 3 was: "If you want to keep the current structure with `add` and `remove`, then just add a second handler for `remove` in the same way as for `add`. The two listeners will be called one after the other, so you can still run your custom logic between them."
Wait I'm mixing. Let's not worry.
The final answer should show:
Use of `useEffect` to set up event listener
Clean-up function to remove it
Provide example of a component that does this
We also need to mention that the cleanup function is returned from the effect, and will be called when the component unmounts or before the next effect runs.
Also mention that if you add multiple listeners, use `removeEventListener` accordingly.
Optionally show usage with dependencies array.
Also talk about how to use React's built-in event handling instead of DOM events for simpler cases.
But the question: "In a React functional component, how do I properly set up and clean up an event listener using hooks? What is the correct way to add an event listener in a useEffect hook and then remove it when the component unmounts or before adding a new one?" So answer should explain:
Using useEffect.
Adding event listener inside effect callback.
Removing inside cleanup function returned by effect.
Show code example.
Also mention that you must pass same function reference to removeEventListener as used in addEventListener, which is why we define handler outside or inside effect but not redefined each time unless you use useCallback etc.
So final answer: Provide explanation and example:
import useEffect from 'react';
function MyComponent() const handleResize = () => // ... ;
If handler depends on props/state, wrap it with useCallback and add to deps accordingly.
Also mention that if event listener changes each render, you must remove old one before adding new; can use `useEffect` with dependencies or store id.
Thus final answer: show correct pattern for removing listeners in componentWillUnmount (class) and cleanup function in useEffect (functional), explain dependency array etc. Provide example and explanation of why the earlier attempt failed (probably because listener not referenced correctly). Mention that you cannot remove by passing a different callback; must pass same reference used to add.
Let's craft final response accordingly.Key idea
The only way to remove an event listener is to call
The handler is a property of the instance (`this`), so it can be passed to both `addEventListener` and `removeEventListener`.
---
Functional component with hooks
import useEffect, useCallback from 'react';
function MyComponent() const handleResize = useCallback(() => console.log('Window resized'); , ); // no dependencies – same function each render
useEffect(() => window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize); return () => window.removeEventListener('resize', handleResize); ; , handleResize); // run effect only if the handler changes
`useCallback` guarantees that `handleResize` is the same reference across renders (unless its dependencies change).
The cleanup function inside `useEffect` removes the exact listener that was added.
Why this matters
If you used an inline arrow function in the effect:
the function would be created anew each render, so `removeEventListener` with a different reference would not remove it, leaving stale listeners that could leak memory or fire multiple times.
---
Summary
Create the listener once (or memoize it) and keep its reference.
Register the listener in an effect (`useEffect`) and return a cleanup function that calls `removeEventListener` with the same reference.
This pattern ensures listeners are removed correctly and avoids memory leaks or duplicate callbacks.
That’s how you properly add and clean up event listeners in React components.
