Because throwing a paper ball into the bin( or the near floor) is far easier than a flat piece of paper.

Because it's too hard to crumple a sheet of paper into a cube.
Big brain moment
Mf, I can’t throw a sheet of paper across a room
😎
The final shot of that episode is absolute comedy gold.
IANAL, but I think it’s because balls are fun to play with.
No reason you can’t do both
Easier to make the three point shot to win regional.
You have been deceived. People always crumple paper into a flat disc shape. All evidence showing ball-shaped paper must have been fabricated.
I believe aliens contacted the ancient Egyptians and taught them the ways of crumpling paper into flat discs
It serves two purposes; easier to throw, and harder to read. You do it to things you don't need anyone to read.
Ohh yeaahhh This is a good one🧠
The human hand naturally curves into a circular shape when closed.
Squeezing anything in a hand will naturally form a ball shape. This will occur with anything, but paper is more readily available and crumples easily.
If you get frustrated by something you're writing, crumpling it into a ball gets out frustration by destroying the work and then it's easier to toss into a garbage can.
"Frustration" (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Crumpling things tends with your hands to result in said things becoming ball shaped. What shape do you recommend I crumple paper into?
Not to crumple and it will be easily managable
But I'm done with that piece and I don't want it to get mixed back in with my other papers.
