ELI5: How do things such as earphones and string get so tangled in your pockets from just walking around?

Entropy! The world always tries to make things more random. For example, your body is constantly trying to decompose, but your various metabolic processes and cellular regeneration prevent that. There are no forces that prevent the randomization of your earbuds. In fact, as they bounce around in your pocket during normal walking or movement, more energy is added and randomness is further promoted.
