I’ve never seen one of those hats used IRL, but I get it.
If my room gets really cold, I can burrow in blankets, but since I’m not one of those weirdos who can sleep with a covered nose/mouth, my head has to stay stuck out and will still be cold.
I usually find a clean sweatshirt to hide the top of my head under or, in desperate times, origami my blankets up from behind my shoulders to tuck it in.
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.
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.

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.
Awww, c’mon. You know you want to make a silly hat for cold nights!

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.
Now you can put on your nightcap, drink a nightcap, and dream about your new knowledge!
Cheers.
Lol.
