I don't give a flying fuck what science says, the bastard things are capable of autonomous movement and tangle themselves up out of spite.

Apparently this is wrong, but it's obviously not.

entropy does not explain tying themselves in knots rather than staying put.

It's a statistical measure of disorder
it doesn't specify what form that disorder will take, so there is a certain probability that it will take the form of one or more knots.

So science has given a name to the practice of inanimate objects being quite animate when there's the opportunity to annoy
Well done science
