Dryer Fires

Are dryer fires trending?



I feel like I have seen a lot of images with dryers on fire in the past week or so.
More then, well, ever...



Perhaps it is symbolic or some form of metaphor.
Perhaps it is the start of some laundry machine mass extinction, due to global lint build up.
Perhaps dryers are actually portals to hell, now opening up to bring this year to it's natural conclusion.
