My stepsibling-in-law is a good person.

Get the stepsibling-in-law mug.A law invented by Marc of The Templin Institute and introduced in the video "The Idiotic Strategy That Always Works (But Shouldn't!)":
"Dumb ideas are implemented all the time often with cataclysmic results. But they're implemented in the first place because there was a legitimate expectation of a positive outcome; these ideas fall within the "Zone of Believability." However some ideas are so clearly bad and consequences so obvious that no sensible person would ever consider them; such ideas cross the threshold into the "Zone of Ridiculousness" and no explanation can ever justify such an idea's inherit preposterousness."
Essentially this law dictates that are 2 categories that a dumb idea fit under: Believable (Reasonable chance of a positive outcome) and Ridiculous (Very high chance of 1 or more bad outcomes), and that any idea that fits under the latter category should be flat-out rejected.

Executive Officer: Sir, there's so much wrong with that plan that it breaks Marc's First Law; I can't even list out every possible way that it could fail!

Get the Marc's First Law mug.In a nutshell, Cummins Law occurs when you're listening to the podcast 'Timesuck with Dan Cummins' and people, unaware of the podcast, end of hearing what you're listening to--which is usually dark, crude humor, leading to embarrassment.
This can happen during Bluetooth interruptions, or by simply being unaware of your surroundings.

I fell victim to the Cummins Law, today.
Not the best story, and it probably isn’t worth writing into the show about, but here it is...
Today, was playing video games and listening to the newest Timesuck episode with headphones, when my brother came into the room. He wanted to play me a song he just learned on my guitar. (We each have our own guitars/amps and like to show each other new stuff we learn)
My guitar amp has Bluetooth and my phone automatically connects whenever it gets turned on. As soon as he turns on my amp, Dan’s voice comes through loudly saying something like “I bet his dick got super hard,” referring to Alexander Solonik's sports car."
