Duvets, like what’s the fuckin point

E: duvet in the American sense as a cover that goes over your comforter

I’ve never understood the thin flat sheet that lays between one’s body and the top comforter/blanket. I’ve never used one and don’t intend to ever. Seems like more poo poo to wrinkle and tug on you when you’re trying to get into the sweet spot of hell yeah before falling asleep. Only a blanket over me and it’s :cloudnine:

They make great covers for outdoor plants when cold snaps happen, though.

Also, fine China.

Everyone’s parents seemed to have a massive and complete set of fine China dishware you never saw used once, or was maybe only ever pulled out at Thanksgiving or Christmas, and that’s a big maybe. Perhaps it was only for display in a China cabinet, which was never touched at any point in your young life. Like, what was the point of owning dishes that never got used?

Straddling that same line, collectible plates with weird poo poo on them like Norman Rockwell paintings or a calendar from 1968 or the Campbell’s soup kids or commemorative plates of John Lennon’s murder or Diana and Charles’s wedding in 1981 and other morbid curiosities. Fuckin’ Beanie Babies of the ‘50s through the ‘80s.

If I'm in a hotel bed, that thin flat sheet is all that separates you from God knows what, son.

Makes sense, but you’re still laying on top of several hundred stranger’s trapped farts and dried fluids.

Don’t turn on the black light, homie.

They sit between you and the blanket to absorb stank, then you wash them more often than the blanket (and it's easier because they're less bulky than the blanket is)

The sheet is lay on your filthy human body, with it's secretions and sweat and dirt, and act as a barrier. That way the comforter stays clean, because those are a pain to wash, and the sheets are easy.

I get it, but I still think they’re unnecessary and never liked them. I wash my bed spread weekly so it’s not a problem.

Thanks for the explanations, though :kiddo:

Also, those weird aspic dishes from the 1950s through the 1970s. Not gonna lie, a savory meat jelly with cold cuts and vegetables in it doesn’t sound too bad, but then you get into the what the gently caress territory of something like bananas wrapped in melted American cheese topped with marshmallow fluff, ketchup, and sardines.

Did people really eat those aspic dishes?
