“Why Though?”: Viral Video of Man Dropping Stone Into Washing Machine Sparks Outrage
A video shared on Instagram has left the internet collectively baffled, as a man is seen placing a large stone inside a running washing machine—only to watch it break down within moments. The now-viral clip was posted by the handle ‘XYZ ZONE’, and despite criticism, it garnered over 81,000 likes.
In the video, the man sits beside the machine with the rock in hand. Seconds later, chaos ensues as the washing machine malfunctions, shaking violently before falling apart. The video, while perhaps intended to amuse, didn’t sit well with many online.
Netizens expressed confusion and disappointment, questioning the motive behind such destructive behavior. “This could’ve helped a family in need,” one user commented. Another wrote, “This is not content—this is just wastefulness.”
Some were especially disheartened considering the machine’s potential value, while others criticized the trend of creating viral content by damaging useful items.
Times Now was unable to verify the authenticity or location of the footage, but the backlash was clear: viewers are growing tired of content that promotes destruction for views.
While social media is full of odd and intriguing experiments, this one seems to have struck a nerve for all the wrong reasons.
