It’s the unspoken tech epidemic of our times.

Those invisible creatures that live in your pocket, bag or backpack and work overtime to ensure that your headphones are constantly tangled and knotted. Some people have given up all hope and just decided to wrap the headphones around their face instead.

But YouTuber “CuriousInventor” has a better idea — a simple method for tying and unwrapping your headphones that does away with the endless untying. You can check out how it’s done in the video above.

On behalf of everyone: Thank you.
