Grab the middle and pull it through the center

This is how you create a wormhole in your bedroom.

[-] AlexJD@feddit.uk 18 points 10 months ago

Honestly as a kid I thought I had opened a wormhole in my bedroom. I was sleeping on the floor on an inflatable mattress which had an attached bedsheet that didn't come off. During the night I turned on my side, flipped the bed, it hooked onto the wardrobe door handle and I was suspended upside down diagonally.

I'm convinced bedding defies physics at this point.

Wtf is that?

Are you being pulled down by the sheet then?

[-] AlexJD@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

Admittedly it was a long time ago but it was either that you couldn't remove the sheet or it was zipped on. It was an air bed.

That sounds more like a punishment than a sleeping occasion

What else did your parents had in their parentory reportoire?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

And to roll enough to flip it wouldn’t you have to be right on the edge? Leaving you not so much suspended but on the ground on your stomach?

[-] AlexJD@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago

No idea how I did it, all I remember is waking up very confused. It was an air mattress that didn't inflate properly and I had a habit of sleeping on the edge which I'm guessing is how I did it?

Good news! You've got the longest side 100% of the time.

It's cotton, actually

What the hell is that supposed to be, a Klein Torus?

[-] beebers@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Yes, someone please help. Confused minds want to know! (Me, I'm the confused mind)

This what happens to my duvet at 3am when I wake up and the cover has misaligned with the duvet and my foot is wrapped up with the cover and around my leg and my body is now in full alarm mode as it tries to untangle itself and wake up my brain in panic mode

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

I think it's just a less illustrative way of rendering a Klein Bottle, yes.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 6 points 10 months ago

Also when trying to fold fitted sheets.

And my life

Man, I could use a blanket like that….
