How come tied shoelaces love to untie, but clumsily packed away wires love to knot themselves?
In: Other
Shoelaces are tied with a quick release knot that’s designed to come apart easily if you pull on the tails.
In my experience your average shoelace is also shinier than your average cable, so they slide more easily against themselves.
If you stored a few dozen shoelaces made out of rubber haphazardly in a drawer they would tangle, too.
