Bauer's Rule, also known as the Poop to Pot Ratio, is used to determine whether a person is a pothead or not. If the number of times one poops in a day is equal or less than the number of times one smokes marijuana a day, then the person is a pothead.
Person One: Man, he says he never smokes, but he looks like such a pothead.
Person Two: Do you know his poop to pot ratio?
Person One: Oh yeah, I remember reading about that in the chemistry book, that's Bauer's Rule. Good call!

Of greater danger than nobody knowing what to do is a broadly held presumption that somebody does.

Bauer's Rule of Idiocracy arises in part from characteristics discussed in Erich Fromm’s “Escape From Freedom,” including a desire to defer to a trusted figure to escape the burden of having to puzzle out matters for which one is ill-equipped, the learning curve is steep, or information is at best incomplete.
