The washing machine eats the socks for real. Here is the evidence

Does the washing machine eat socks? It seems to be true! Here is the confirmation.

He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him

The socks disappear, poof! Raise your hand if you have never been left with mismatched socks once the washing machine cycle has finished. Gone, swallowed up in nothingness, dissolved, poised between the certainty of having put them all and the doubt that perhaps someone was left out. Tales, myths and legends have followed one another over the decades and a question has always reverberated in homes around the world: where did my sock go?

If you have thought of them all, he looked everywhere, above, below, in the detergent basket, in the detergent cap, in the half-empty bottle, in the sleeves of shirts and blouses. Scientists have observed the phenomenon and calculated an algorithm, but most have left the mystery unsolved, waiting for the Maigret on duty to hypothesize the killer of socks in the spiral vacuum of a sock-killing porthole.

The answer, dear ones, lies much closer than you think. It is not a question of playing with water, fire and a small fire around the washing machine, nor of doing voodoo rituals while that is in operation, avoiding that the gothic ghost of the weekend washing has not stolen the blue polka dot sock as well.

Everything is in the seals! But let's go in order.

One day Cathy Hinz, an American, gave her wonderful discovery to the people of the web (dispensing images whose vision is only for strong stomachs ...). Her husband, tired of the malfunctioning washing machine, decided to take it apart. From there to a real shock it seems to have been a moment.

Socks, underwear, pennies and even a credit card - everything was at the bottom of the car when he removed the filter panel. Cathy's husband had practically discovered that washing machines, but also dryers, both with front and top loading, can allow small clothes to get stuck between the seals.

“Next time you miss your socks, remember! That washing machine might just be starving! ”Says Cathy.
