Ideal humidity for electronics is at 50% (which I find feels a bit damp
to me from the few clean-rooms I've been in, and I also find that 50%
feels odd.)

 Right now it is 16% humidity in my house. On any of my carpeted
floors, which includes where my computer is, I keep getting static
shocks and it is really starting to annoy me.

That's really low.  Apparently dry air is somewhat bad for humans as well*, optimal is between 30-50%.
*It can aggravate allergies & asthma, and cause itchy eyes, nose, throat, and skin.
I really ought to check the humidity here too, though I don't have issue with static.
