MODERATORS
Here ya go little fella.
Fine I'm upvoting too. Let's do all the things YOU wanna do
I got you buddy
Thank you for enabling me. That’s such a relief to know I’m not the only one.
I'm in this meme and I don't like it
Not sure if that's a good thing, but whatever. Hit me again with that dopamine.
Here you go buddy
And then you get one of these guys:
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?
I sort of want one. Matching pajamas, cap, slippers, and a little candle I can carry around.
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.
Now you can put on your nightcap, drink a nightcap, and dream about your new knowledge!
Cheers.
Lol.
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.
Don't discount the acknowledgment. It means plenty and enforces the point of this meme. Many thanks.
I always assumed it was a pun for kids, cuz I've only seen them in cartoons. A "night cap" is usually an alcoholic drink taken to help you sleep, but in a kids cartoon it's a literal cap worn at night.
Apparently the garment came first, and then the drink was called a nightcap to allude to how it keeps you warm and cozy as you drift off to sleep.
It's a nightcap
Women's night caps were usually a long piece of cloth wrapped around the head, or a triangular cloth tied under the chin.[1] Men's nightcaps were traditionally pointed hats with a long top, sometimes with a pom-pom on the end.[1] The long end could be used like a scarf to keep the back of the neck warm.[1]
From the Middle Ages to the 20th century, nightcaps were worn in Northern Europe, such as the British Isles and Scandinavia, especially during the cold winters before central heating became available.[1] People tended to think that cold air was harmful, so a nightcap protected them.[2]
Nightcaps are less commonly worn in modern times, but are often featured in animation and other media, as part of a character's nightwear. Nightcaps became associated with the fictional sleepers Ebenezer Scrooge and Wee Willie Winkie.[5] The hat has become typical nightwear for a sleeper especially in comical drawings or cartoons along with children's stories, plays, and films;
I have found my people
I laugh at my own posts after submitting them. I cringe every time I think about that fact.
That just sounds like the behavior of a happy person. No cringe needed.
The fun begins when you get to troll the haters (:
Ah, a man of culture. My favorite part is knowing I made people laugh.
So I'm not the only weirdo who finds himself hilarious AF. Sometimes I just scroll through my own comments on my profile.
My husband often tells me I’m not funny. I always respond with “Of course I’m not funny. I’m fucking hilarious!”
Oh good, it's not just me.
Nothing validates me in life like upvotes on my jokes
Am I the only one who read that (as well as this comment) in the voice of Squidward?
Would you like to hear something on the clarinet?
More a trombone fan, myself.
Anyway, here's "Night Bird"
Side note: Really appreciate this meme. I know I cannibalized the comments a bit but it made my evening. Kinda needed that, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
I laughed through the nose, like Squidward does.
Probably not, I read it in on no voice though. I usually skip subvocalizations for speed.
