Collective Stupidity Field Effect
A semi-tangible psychic
aura that surrounds any large concentration of ignorant
people. At close ranges CSFE has been shown to disrupt electronics, frighten small children, and bruise
fruit. In general the power of any given CSFE is directly proportional to the number of individuals involved and inversely proportional to their distance from the subject, but this equation changes drastically in cases where the CSFE generators have access to long-distance communication technology.
CSFE exposure is measured in nubs, derived from the equation
unit 'NuB/S' (Force of stupidity *
gravity * coefficient of social friction * bullshit per second), with 1 nub being approximately the amount of ignorance necessary to ignore

Prolonged exposure to high-density CSFE has been proven to impair judgement and reduce motor skills. Use care until you are familiar with its effects.
