I have this magic blanket my friend made me before she died, idk how she did it but that blanket always is juuuuuust the right level of warmth. It's kept me warm through freezing cold winters in Michigan and cool but covered in its breathable fabric in the heat of many an Arizona summer. I'll never know how that works, but I do know I'll never go anywhere overnight without it.

and yes, it's super soft

Could be, I don't know shit about fabric.

Wasn't meant to be a dig, most people think wool just keeps you warm, but it's absolutely magic. Keeps you warm in the winter, cool in the summer. It'll even keep you dry. When it gets wet, it creates an exothermic reaction to warm you up which creates a sort of runaway effect to keep drying itself. It does run out of effectiveness, but plunging into a frozen lake for instance, it gives you like a half hour headstart on warmth/survival. After that, it requires removing it and drying/external heat but still. It's a godamn fabric. It's insane.

That said, I've got two questions, ones for you: It's got a tag right? Unless someone you know actually made it.

Second question, are vegans allowed to use wool?

Real. Because I have the windows open and sheets off I keep waking up with fresh mosquito bites.

Put a screen in the windows...

[-] Zarobi@aussie.zone 2 points 17 hours ago

Man one time a fly got in somehow despite the flyscreen. Every night it would bzzzzZZZZZZ right in my ear and scare the shit out of me at 2am. It's not like you can sleep with your head under the blanket or you'll suffocate.

In the morning I'd search and try to kill it but couldn't find it. The fucker tormented me for weeks, didn't eat or drink, only surviving on annoying me. Eventually it died of old age somewhere I'm sure. I still have a grudge against that little shit.

Flies are a real pest where I live and always land on me if I'm outside in the daytime. I bought a Bug-A-Salt gun and it's the greatest weapon ever for killing flies.

A bad shot will clip their wings and make them vulnerable. A good shot will splat them.

Oh yeah I really wanted one of those, they look kind of fun. But it never arrived after months of waiting so I got a refund and gave up. They don't sell them in AU

I want to be made warm by the monsters cuddling. Why is this so hard to achieve?

[-] Localhorst86@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

Usually, it is enough to cover part of your body to be safe.
I tend to put one corner over my hips, that's enough to keep monsters from snatching me off my bed.

I'm an "always hot" kind of person. I haven't used a comforter at all since moving into a new place last autumn. A flat sheet is the minimum, and if I need more I add a throw blanket or two. It's not the "traditional" way to make a bed, but it works for me.

Miss Leah low-key revealing that she doesn't have AC.

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 3 points 23 hours ago

Introducing sheets.

This is why there are different coolnesses and warmths of blankets. Make sure you buy the correct one for your own needs and preferences.

@emrazz is explaining EXACTLY my problem with summer sleeping!

My perfect sleeping environment is 15-17°C (early 60s in imperial armpit units) with a warm duvet providing maximum comfort.
