My friends were hanging out with one of them after dinner, who, I heard, disappeared.l Satisfactory. “Am I satisfied?” I was about to ask. Not that I’m a chaste desiring to be the next guest of honor at an ultra-Catholic forum on the traditional family, but no, I don’t have a Satisfyer. And most of all, because I live as I live, within the few meters a columnist’s salary allows, I’m more than losing, running around to avoid hitting them.
But my friend – let’s say Mari Puri – is. Or there was. He had last seen her at siesta time on August 12.. After a while – apparently they were nice together – he dropped it on the nightstand and… It disappeared. She didn’t see him again. i was busy with this drama — forgive me, my friend — and even on all TV channels it was pleasing to me after eleven out of ten experts thought that Putin could and wanted a nuclear war.
But, losing a Satisfyer? How? I felt more than empathy, more than curiosity – this damn job is a columnist’s job – and that, besides the drama, this disappearance is a mystery like the one in Titanic and why Rose (Kate Winslet) doesn’t share a table with Jack. (Leonardo DiCaprio) . At the cost of finding love! Seriously, are you letting him drown?
According to Mari Puri’s version, everything seems to point to the presence of a being. satisfying beast, as or scarier as that famous Sock Monster. But this mystery has already been solved by science! At least in the British version, research shows that an average of 1.3 socks are lost per month. Stupid, stupid, 15 lost socks per year and a life expectancy of 81 years, 1,264 lost socks per person or foot over a lifetime. If the number on the sock is already scary, wait until it reads in pounds: 2,528 per person; 2 billion pounds a year for the British. A tragedy that makes people laugh at Brexit.
And although 9 May, beyond being called World Lost Socks Day, is the ‘Fisherman’s profit, a troubling river’, the hake of Decathlon’s Artengo couples in this case, the issue needs to be explored more thoroughly and the Queen II. We know that she was considered Elizabeth. While Boris Johnson has all the hallmarks of being a sock wearer of all colors, it was Samsung that rolled up its sleeves determined to discover who we are, where we came from and where we’re going. at least when it’s a sock. Are you going through a black hole and dematerializing? Are 2528 socks really swallowed by the washing machine? The study, conducted among former owners of a left sock, served to develop statistical software in which you can learn that your probability of losing a sock is 0.38+(0.005 x N)+(0.0012 x C)-(0.0159 x P x A). , where N is the number of washes; C complexity; P is positivity for the laundry task and A is attention. And yes, some socks are engulfed by the guts of the washing machine, but the vast majority occur when we toss their partner’s right foot into the duvet cover or under the bedstead. Another typical example of hiring an outsider to tell us the same thing our mother told us: that we didn’t call them well.
In our defense, I will say that I doubt that these numbers can be estimated to Spain for two reasons: First, another study revealed that: one in three Brits washes their sheets only once a year -namely, laundry hacks, beauties-and, above all, because of our ingrained tradition that has been passed down from mother to son, from generation to generation, and above all because of our ingrained tradition that you should leave the house in clean underwear in case of an accident.
But because I’m as much a person as I am a columnist, I know that a friend of mine devastated by a loss isn’t at all ready to talk about going out in clean panties or psychological theories, but for me, the Mari Puri thing is going. -to the British – to be a crystal clear case ‘unwanted blindness’. Our maintenance resources are limited, so the brain uses them in a way that best fits our predetermined schemas and we ignore the other unexpected, no matter how much is under our noses. This is well illustrated by the ‘Invisible Gorilla Test’ conducted by Simons & Chabris in 1999, in which participants were shown a recording of two groups of people playing basketball, some dressed in white and others dressed in black. They are asked to count the number of times they have passed the ball and do not see a gorilla literally walking between them. Because the task entrusted to them is different, of course, but at the same time, who expects to see a gorilla on the basketball court?!
What about Satisfyer? As the poet and philosopher Rabindranath Tagore said: “If you cry because you can’t see the sun, your tears prevent you from seeing the stars.”
