In a bizarre attempt to grab attention on social media, a man has gone viral for conducting an outlandish experiment—testing a washing machine’s durability by tossing a large stone into it. The video, now making rounds across platforms, has stunned viewers with both its absurdity and the destruction that followed.
Chaos Inside the Drum
The clip, shared by Instagram handle xyz_z0ne, begins with the man loading the stone into a brand-new washing machine instead of clothes. As the machine spins, it begins to shake violently under the stone’s weight. Within seconds, it’s clear the appliance can’t handle the pressure.
The machine jerks around wildly before falling apart, piece by piece. The inner drum detaches entirely, rolling away as the body of the machine collapses, completely wrecked.

Still, others slammed the act, condemning the wastefulness of destroying a perfectly good appliance just for digital clout.
