Doomscrolling Goblins Encounter static

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified static as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

A medical text in the goblin anatomy library devotes thirty pages to the static-organ, an entity that does not appear in any reasonable taxonomy and which the goblin anatomists nevertheless palpate, weigh, and describe in unsettling detail.

The Goblin Verdict on static

The goblin verdict on static is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. static has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
