Does it count if I passed out blackout drunk?

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Look at this guy (or gal), getting blackout drunk with their pants still on.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

On east coast, guy is gender neutral.

[–] Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's gender neutral in some contexts, but not all. If you said you made out with 5 guys last night that would imply men, not people.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

That would imply a burger.

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

On the West Coast, guys is gender neutral, guy is not.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Still on when they pass out, no guarantees they'll still be there when they wake up ...

[–] hash@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What amazes me is people who can miss the bed. No matter how drunk I get, I wake up in bed, not on the floor.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago

You have nice friends that pound your butt in the comfort of a bed

Was gonna say, with enough booze all things are possible.

If you can't fall asleep in jeans you haven't reach rock bottom levels of tired yet.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago

I used to think sleeping in jeans was way out there. Then I had kids. These days, I could fall asleep in a beekeeper's outfit with Carharts underneath.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So the serial killers that are really good eventually fall asleep in jeans and then stop being serial killers?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

sleeping is the only time when they arnt killing.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago

As others have pointed out, I think you’re just purchasing uncomfortable jeans.

[–] superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've never heard this before. I'll give it a shot and report back on my true power

[–] xylol@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please only target the rich while you are doing your serial killing

[–] superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Let's hope I fall asleep in jeans so I don't have to try out killing

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is targeted harassment at me, and I will not accept it

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

You were the first person to come to mind when I saw it. In fact, I had to look twice to confirm it wasn't you who posted it.

My girlfriend's younger brother sleeps on top of the covers fully clothed with boots on, every night...there are many signs that point towards neurodivergence but this one stands out lol

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean he showers and changes clothes and such but still

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

If I'm in a bed I can't, if I'm not in a bed I can.

Idk it's a weird disconnect.

Pretty much anyone can sleep in jeans?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Just a matter of being drunk enough.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess its a bit more of a challenge if you dont own jeans

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Just find somebody else who's drunk enough.

That was my thought, have these folks never blacked out in a bush before?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

My autistic ass would cry if I tried to sleep in jeans. Jeans are the devils material and I own none because they set off my brains internal shriek meter in half seconds.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

Used to do it all the time when I lived with roommates. They would come knocking at my room any hour for anything and I just stopped caring to go into sleeping clothes. I think that only stopped in summer when switched to shorts.

Hey pal if you’re working 16hr days on a fire camp in the middle of nowhere Nevada, pajamas aren’t exactly practical. Also, somehow it goes from 110°F during day to 30°F at night so forget sleeping in only underwear.

I knew a few guys who’d not only wear jeans but wear them beneath their nomex (fire resistant cargo pants) to stay warm at night. Honestly during the day you just wear nomex because they’re more breathable than jeans anyway, so in a way the jeans were only worn for sleep once the supply tent got set up

[–] ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

They can't save us. Not enough of them.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Depends on the jeans. I got a pair that are very soft and light, I sleep in them when it's cold. I have other pairs that are thick "work jeans" and yeah it'd be unpleasant to sleep in them.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Should I contact the authorities?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why is it I'm always finding out I'm the weird one through memes? First I found out nobody eats hulls of edamame, now I find out sleeping in jeans is weird. Next y'all gunna tell me you dont wax your inner ears.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

nobody eats hulls of edamame

do you eat the peels on oranges?

I guess, perhaps, it's like snap peas if you eat them whole?

[–] sqw@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

oh so now im the freak for eating orange peel

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

you just seek out the zest in life.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Piths are notoriously bitter. Pea hulls just taste like more plant.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

just trying to map out the decision space. I've accidently chewed edamame and spat it out because of the texture (furry, yikes)

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Are you the serial killer irl?

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Salt and pepper single

[–] winkly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

What about people who work out in jeans?

[–] iatenine@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

People who survived the 90s denims trend: "You merely adopted the darkness. I was born in it, molded by it"

[–] sqw@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

is op's pic from some shadow of the colossus type game? i love it

What if wearing any clothing at all is too restrictive too sleep well?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sleep all naked and no blanket, with a hat on.

[–] ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Is this weird?
