A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

hear me out: tungsten chainmail blanket
Depleted uranium blanket. My sleep paralysis demon is a plutonium sphere.
Even though the radioactivity would be negligible, it would still be toxic as a heavy metal. Tungsten is definitely the way to go here.
Unless it’s thoriated tungsten anyway.
Thorium->Radium->Radon->Polonium->Lead (I think?)
Why would tungsten be thoriated? Is it an impurity which is hard to remove, or is it intentionally added for some specific purpose?
It’s used as electrodes for TIG welding torches. It was originally specified for aerospace and nuclear welding jobs because it’s really durable and handles heat well. And then it became popular everywhere else for the same reasons.
Now it’s supposed to be used less, but a lot of guys still like it for its consistency. If you don’t grind it to sharpen it it’s pretty safe to handle. So you can get pre ground electrodes for high end welding work.
Cool, TIL! How much is generally added? Is it a trace amount or a substantial fraction?
Looks like only 1-2% by weight.
Magnesium chainmail if you're sleeping on the surface of the sun or next to my tiny girlfriend
I'll say this for the thick girls, they're cool on the outside and don't bitch about freezing. Meanwhile, my 95lb. wife, permanently frozen and shedding heat like a hummingbird.
First thing in the morning, sweating my ass off, legs glued together...
"Babe! Let me embrace you!"
"Get OFF! pant, pant, pant
Is this a feature of small women? My wife puts off heat like an oil furnace under the covers.
Well, fat is insulant, so it helps to keep the heat energy inside the body. Fat, therefore, also provides some protection against cold. On the other hand, if you live in areas with higher ambient temperature, it is more comfortable to be able to exhaust that heat, instead of storing it.
So, yes, it is a feature?
I meant small women, not fat ones. The original comment was "my tiny girlfriend".
And I meant, that as fat has insulating properties, the lack of fat, ergo "tiny body" does not have insulating properties. Thus, a tiny body exhausts more heat, and therefore 1) feel cold more easily and 2) heats the surrounding area.
So yes, tiny bodytype tends to exhaust heat under a blanket.
Gotcha. My experience indicates you're right! It's like sleeping with a space heater.
Haters will say it's too hard to machine
That wouldn't have the same heat transferring capacity, but it would be heavier.
Could even be a heated blanket that glows.
