The dust comes from inside the house as well as outside. It's entropy. The items inside your house, especially cloth, are in a constant state of disassembling and shedding dust. (Plus skin cells.)
I bought some dark blue towels and, yes, there is a lot of blue lint in the dryer lint-catcher. But also a lot of dark blue dust in my vacuum (floor) bin as well.
Also, think about cooking smells: neighbor frying bacon. You can smell that because tiny particles are coming into your house.

Gravity.
When a surface is sloped, an object (like crumbs) being pulled at by gravity can get closer to the center of the earth by sliding down that slope. When you sit on a cushion, your body weight causes the cushions to compress unevenly and slope toward the cracks between the cushions where the crumbs fall or toward the back where there is a space between the cushion and the sofa back.
[quote]But thanks for your humorless pomposity in taking my crumb query so seriously.
Personally, I don't know which would be the worse admission - that you're admitting you're a dull wit and thought crumbs and cushions were a light and clever way to introduce this topic or that you are, in fact, a dullard who can't figure out why the crumbs fall down between the cushions.

When wet, they get stuck to the side or top of the washer - the centrifgual force of the spin cycle coupled witht the vent holes and moisture. In the dryer, they simply get caught on the agitation roll bars.
Either you find it after the next wash load after noticing a missing sock or you toss the single sock, then toss the second if you eventually find it.

Does my cat know when I'm about to wake up so he can get close and stare at my face? Should I work out at home or in the park tomorrow? Are the Golden Oreos the reason for this extra layer of fat? What would my life be like now if she had been pregnant? Why AstroTurf? It's awful, like flocked wallpaper for stadiums. I wonder if the three Corvettes I had in High School and College are still on the road. Do the owners know that the mileage on them is about 6000 miles more than they think because I regularly disconnected the odometers so my father didn’t know how much I drove? And did dad ever know that I filled up my friends’ cars with gas at the gas pumps at his dealership late at night so we could all drive to New Orleans, or wherever? Why was the debut '53 Corvette so underpowered? Whatever became of that guy I met in Rome? Oh, and the other one I met in Singapore? And that other one...oh forget it the list is too long. Am I eating too much salt? Did Diana really push Mary on Motown 25? Will they ever make up? Is that red haired guy I always see on 9th Avenue the one I, um...dated...in the late 80's or am I romanticizing it? I defy anyone to tell the difference between Smirnoff, Belvedere and Grey Goose in a blind taste test. How much is all my dry cleaning going to cost once they reopen? It's a shame that so many of the swimming pools I used to swim in including my family's, Leslie Blue's and Sherwood Forest Country Club's have been filled in. That circular herringbone pattern driveway at 11260 Sheraton Drive is still beautiful though. What are we going to do with all the plastic? Why are guys 20, 25 years younger than I am hitting me up? Why were gauchos a thing? And Qiana? What the hell was that? Do they still make it? Makena beach on Maui looks so beautiful on the live webcam right now. When will Eric and I get back there? Won't producing power for all the electric cars just pollute as much as cars with internal combustion engines? Do the assholes who play ear-splittingly loud music in their cars with all the windows down know how stupid they look? Do women still wear panty hose? When will I get to sing again? Why did they bastardize Boiardi into Chef Boyardee? Why would people eat that shit? Real pasta is cheaper anyway. Do I tell the people I love how much I love them often enough? Why the hell do some shoemakers insist on that absurd straight lacing? I always have to redo it. Do people realize that the piping and side surfaces of some leather car seats is actually vinyl? I should buy a Lite-Brite on Amazon. Why don't men know that the basting stitch on the vent of their new suit jacket is to be cut once they buy it? Should I make a batch of Froze's in my VitaMix or will I just drink all of it myself? Do carmakers who have to make cars with both left-hand and right-hand drive wish that everyone would just drive on the same side? Why can't they put salsa in a container like Hummus, so you can get the chip in there? Was it a mistake not to sign that contract to be in the boy band IKON and tour China when I was 24? How have so many years gone by since then? Why the hell doesn't GM produce a car inspired by the Cadillac Eldorado, Oldsmobile Toronado and Buick Riviera circa 1966-71 with long, elegant proportions? I'd buy one. Speaking of proportions, do people know how much better the proportions of the typical home's rooms are with 9 foot ceilings instead of 8 foot ceilings? Should I install recessed ceiling lighting? Why is my apartment buzzer loud enough to wake the dead? How can I muffle it and still hear it? What is all this gluten free shit? I am not convinced. What's the viewership of CSPAN? Will it get another season? Should I move to Los Angeles? Is it time for bed?

R189 I agree one thousand times over. SO many women today sound like they inhaled helium and nobody thinks it's strange. I would think it actually takes a certain effort to talk that way.
They do all sound like the ditzy neighbor on a 60s sitcom. On the other hand, the "popular" woman's voice from the 60s, judging from movies and old footage, was breathier and more kittenish - Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn, Sharon Tate. And then going back to the 50s, you hear a warmer, deep rich voice - Doris Day etc. In the 1940s Joan Crawford sounded almost masculine.

Exactly, R190. More like Vivian Vance type vocals. Cut right through the crowd with brassy chest voice to get the maximum attention. I would love it if more women took on the breathy vixen voice you mention - I do hear it occasionally, but not enough. EVERY girl I hang out with has a better voice than what I hear out there. Girls, you get more desirable attention if you are mysterious and captivating instead of needy and demanding.
I was at dinner last night, and I totally couldn't hear my partner at normal volume right in front of me. There was a veritable hen house around me. I heard all stories involving 'the worst day of my life', 'helping a friend vomit because she was so drunk', 'the worst tenants in my building', and 'my upcoming wedding'. There was piercing shrill consistent voices all competing from different tables, to be 'top hen' in the restaurant, and many of them let out very performative cackling sounds, as if to say "I'm the life of the party, you should envy me." I was having fork stabbing fantasies all through dinner.

I've wondered how ancient or primitive peoples discovered all the medicinal uses of things. like plants, minerals, and animal products. Many are still used today. But how did people with few resources to science figure out how or why these things worked?
Similarly, though acorns are not palatable to humans in raw form, Indian tribes like the Tongva (LA area) and the Chumash (Central Coast) developed a process to extract the poisons and make the acorn flour edible and useful. How much trial and error did that take? How did they figure out a method to remove the toxins? And who first thought it was a good idea to even try to do it?
[quote]For many Native Americans in southern California, such as the Chumash, acorn meal was the main source of carbohydrates. Problem: acorns contain toxic levels of bitter tannins which must be leached out to render them edible. To do this, the acorns were dried for one year, shelled, winnowed to remove a thin inner shell, pounded into flour, sifted repeatedly through finely-woven baskets, leached by rinsing in water, then cooked into a mush like grits. The processing of acorns was a communal activity, done by women who chatted and sang while they worked.
Somebody had to figure out how/why to do that.
