I'm upvoting all of the comments in here so each and every one if you gets that little validation hit. It'll be like pouring sugar over an ants nest.

Someone upvote me back so I can get my validation hit too.

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

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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?

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 sort of want one. Matching pajamas, cap, slippers, and a little candle I can carry around.

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.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

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.

So I'm not the only weirdo who finds himself hilarious AF. Sometimes I just scroll through my own comments on my profile.

[–] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

My husband often tells me I’m not funny. I always respond with “Of course I’m not funny. I’m fucking hilarious!”

Am I the only one who read that (as well as this comment) in the voice of Squidward?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Probably not, I read it in on no voice though. I usually skip subvocalizations for speed.

[–] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I laughed through the nose, like Squidward does.
