We’ve all been there. Standing in front of the washing machine, mesmerized by the hypnotic swirl of clothes, lost in a sea of socks and existential dread. Okay, maybe not existential dread, but definitely some surprisingly deep thoughts. Who knew laundry day could be such a philosophical experience?

It’s a tale as old as time. You toss two perfectly matched socks into the washing machine, a united front against the forces of dirt and grime. But when the spin cycle ends, only one emerges, leaving its partner lost in the abyss of the laundry vortex. Where do they go? Is there a parallel universe populated entirely by single socks, yearning for their other half? These are the questions that keep me up at night (or at least, until the dryer buzzer goes off).
