    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.

          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!

            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.
