Socks Theory proposes that there exists a direct correlation between the number of socks lost in the wash and the number of existential crises experienced in a given lifetime. Our research suggests that for every 17 socks, 1 existential crisis is triggered.
We have calculated that 4 out of 5 people experience Socks Theory in some form, with 2 out of 3 experiencing it in its most severe form: The Great Sockpocalypse.
Our team is currently working on developing the Sockometer, a device designed to track and measure sock loss, and thus, existential dread.
