How do cables get so tangled??

Is is the extraterrestrials. a secret government agency?

My wife insisted I have a nice furniture computer work station. It is nice, but a real chore to change or add wires for the two computers.

I had a set of nice higer end computer speakers with a subwoofer that were great for over 30 years, but now every so often at random, they go into a 60 cycle HUMMMMM and I have to crawl on hands and knees to the sub woofer, and unplug it, and plug it back in to get normal sound.

Sometimes it goes for weeks, and sometimes just minutes before the hum returns. OK, I had enough! I ordered some new high equivalent speakers. The old ones from way back had nice long cables to connect things, and allow speaker placement in logical places. The new set has some stupid short cables. I compromised on speaker placement but one cable is so short I will have to get an 3.5 mm extension cable just to hook everything up, and have most of the cables hidden.

The old cables were almost tied in knots a fisherman would be proud of. They have been in place for the last 25 years or so, but somehow they got twisted and were a pain to get out.

So right now I am using some cheep Dell speakers that I don't even remember how old they are, but OLD. They are all on top of the desk for now, waiting for the extension cable to finish off the new computer sound system.

I do watch several different streaming services and and listen to Pandora all day if not watching a show.

The cable should be here sin a few days.
