Okay real talk: What is with those sleepy hats? Did people legit wear those? Do you wear them all night or what? Are they comfy? Should I get one?

[–] harmonea@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've never seen one of those hats used IRL, but I get it.

If my room gets really cold, I can burrow in blankets, but since I'm not one of those weirdos who can sleep with a covered nose/mouth, my head has to stay stuck out and will still be cold.

I usually find a clean sweatshirt to hide the top of my head under or, in desperate times, origami my blankets up from behind my shoulders to tuck it in.

I suppose the beanie would be the modern equivalent, as I've done so occasionally. The point and puffball are probably more due to fabrication limitations of the time and a bit of flare.

Yeah, I was just thinking while typing that I've got a super soft beanie I'm going to break out before winter sets in.

Awww, c'mon. You know you want to make a silly hat for cold nights!

Here's wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightcap_(garment)

Why you gotta go bringing "facts" into the discussion? Sure, we've got the compendium of human knowledge at our fingertips, but I personally prefer hearsay and wild conjecture.

Really though, thanks for the actual information. Learned something today. Also surprised to find I was not too far off from reality.

I really like this comment, and the way you wrote it.

That's it. Good job. I know I don't add anything, but clever writing like yours, here, makes my time on Lemmy better.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Don't discount the acknowledgment. It means plenty and enforces the point of this meme. Many thanks.

Now you can put on your nightcap, drink a nightcap, and dream about your new knowledge!
