Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and [email protected] if anyone is interested but there's really no reason to be.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Live long and prosper, you glorious bastards.

TIL not everyone uses a duvet (also TIL that that thing's called a duvet). That's really surprising to me, so some people just use the blanket directly? What do you do when it gets dirty, they're really hard to wash?

I think you mean a duvet cover, a duvet is a thick (cotton or down filled) blanket. Also called a comforter or quilt in America.

I find it absolutely insane that someone would use a duvet without a duvet cover.. I change my duvet cover once or twice a week, can't imagine these people are washing their entire duvets once a week.

So I shower, put on clean pajamas washed every 1-2 days, comforter is separated by blanket or sheet depending on temp, most of the year it's just a sheet anyway, blankets and sheets get washed 1-2 times a week and comforter maybe once a month, maybe that's gross but without surveying a bunch of Americans I'd say that's pretty common. I don't really see how it's gonna get but so dirty with 3 layers of fabric between me and it.

Sounds like a duvet cover would simplify that setup a lot tho.

So, your pajamas and your sheet or blanket function as a duvet cover. That seems perfectly fine, albeit quite a complicated way to do it compared to just a duvet cover.

Pajamas and sheets

Uh...

Complicated?

Quite complicated?

Are we talking about the same thing when we say "pajamas and sheets" or does that mean something different like 'boot' or ' fanny'?

That entire comment is a paragraph to explain washing pajamas and sheets and how shit is layered between the skin and the duvet.

That's more complicated than there just being a duvet cover.

What if you want to sleep without the pajamas one day? We've lost an entire layer of separation from the duvet now, it'll be pandemonium!

(I'm mostly kidding, it just sounds more complicated than it is the way it was written)
