Cables are alive though. They'll move little by little to find one another and entangle in a sexual orgy. Eventually they reproduce, increasing the pile of cable mess.
@alyx@mushroom_soup The least memey explanation would be that the electricity flowing creates magnetic fields which draws the cables together. (obviously not true)
@matrix @alyx @mushroom_soup reality maximal: we are imperfect memory beings and forget jostling the cables into a mess
