Grab the middle and pull it through the center

This is how you create a wormhole in your bedroom.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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?

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

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

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

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

Also when trying to fold fitted sheets.
