How Do T-Shirts Have The Superpower Of Being Able To Turn Themselves Inside Out In The Dryer?

It happens with almost every load of shirts that I wash. I make sure every shirt is right-side out so I can check for stains to treat with stain removal spray before I wash them.

Physics. While being tumbled, garments rub against each other. As they do this, the garnets will "pull" on each other, , turning it's "neighbor" wrong-side-out. This can happen multiple times throughout the cycle. When the cycle ends, some garments may be left in the "inside-out" position (although most won't).
