      Yeah but… our cultural identity is young and in need of more good humor. I don’t necessarily see this as an argument for owning an uzi for “home defense,” but who really knows… I’m certainly not going back to Spezneyland just to find out 😌

          Wait, for personal ownership? It’s always read to me more as an argument for gun control. Like, “the founding fathers obviously never intended for Joe Shmoe to have serious military hardware, not even in their day, so we should be banning automatic rifles and the like.”

          And yet, there’s not a single automatic in the story, while his oldy-timey weaponry shreds the invaders (the ruffians are probably ICE judging by recent events). A better argument for grapeshot, forsooth.

          And panties, at a minimum. Maybe add striped thigh-highs for maximum intimidation

    Wait for the cops to arrive? I thought those were the cops. Are there other ruffians who routinely break into people’s houses in the middle of the night?

    My first ever screenshoted text! I made it!

    Edit: why is there a baby bead next to my name?

    Going nude adds to the fear factor for the intruder. They know you mean business and don’t give a rat’s ass.

    IIRC, pajamas were popularized during WWII because of air raids and having to possibly get up and go to a building bomb shelter in there middle of the night. Also works for earthquake prone areas and homes with ghosts.

    So, posting a (gold classic) copypasta and adding an extra sentence makes a “best of lemmy” post, apparently. Cool cool cool. Sure glad I left reddit’s inane bullshit behind.

    Imagine having to do all that clothed. The founding fathers intended for me to do it in the nude in my own house if I wanted AND I MIGHT stop beware you might see all kinds of malformed genetalia

    Aside from personal preference you shouldn’t sleep in the nude because encase of emergency you may need to run out to render assistance to a family member at night and you don’t want to traumatized your kids or grandma. Also people shed and sweat in their sleep so unless you are changing your bed coverings every couple of days then you’ll be sleeping in you own filth, with pajamas at least the contamination will be kept to a minimum.

      Grandma used to wipe my ass, won’t be “traumatized” seeing it again. The kids only get dressed for town trips and and sheets get changed yearly. Smh @ city folks
