Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and !stamets@lemmy.world 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?
Not mine but saw this online and thought it would be a good idea. I love the idea of a weighted blanket but get way too hot at night.
Hi, reenactor and larper here:
Butted chainmail (that is to say, rings where the open are just touching, not welded or riveted) is an amazing way to rip trap and rip out your hair. Aluminum especially has a tendency to gap on larger sheets, bending open the links and letting it get tangled on itself. You’d need much thicker wire, or smaller rings to compensate.
Cool idea, but poor execution. Instead, you should probaly use galvanized steel, though that has a bit of a smell on it.
The better alternative is stainless steel, which is heavier, but won’t bend as easily. It doesn’t smell and won’t stain. The downside being, of course, that it won’t bend as easily during the fabrication either.
That’s valid. I was actually considering this, but I was thinking it might be best to what it in a this sheet for many of the reasons you’ve listed.
Yes, theres mental illness navy blue.
I prefer institutional beige, thank you very much
I just got a cover for mine. And then you can actually wash the thing. Not like you wanna put something that weighs 10lbs dry in the washer and dryer
Not sure if this is mostly meant to be a joke but the gravity blanket comes in a bunch of different colors including bright and light colors.
Even as a joke, it’s not very good.
Amazon “weighed blankets” immediately had options in every color, plus printed patterns.
My kid has one covered in dinosaurs. It was available up to 15lbs. We got the lil fella the 3 pounder and he loves it.
