RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I get it, for entities with at least two tentacles and no spine it makes total sense but we humans need something that is actually soft and has the cold zones for your hands.
Moreover something that doesn’t make one side of the body paralyzed when lying on the side due to cutting off any and all blood circulation to one arm
You arm/shoulder doesn't go on your pillow. Your head does.
I find these comfortable, even double stuffed standard pillows are too small for me
You put your hands on your pillow?
Hands go under the pillow. Where do you put your tentacles?
They just kinda lay besides me. Just wherever there happens to be room to leave them
That's an insanely personal question! Only my wife gets to see my testicles.
Silly you, they said spectacles, not testicles
I agree with you on the discomfort of this, but I must add that you're using it wrong. This is infact the base that you put another, normal shaped pillow on. Allowing you to reach maximum angular comforts.
No the trick is to stay fashionably sleep deprived to show your boss your dedication
Zelenskyy face it is called and I think Macron was first imitator
I know a person who uses a pillow of this shape. Strict side sleeper.
I agree with you, I would be challenged to come up with something more uncomfortable that still meets the definition of "pillow".
I am sure they are missing some important bones
I find these shapes of pillow quite comfortable, though they tend to be memory foam which stops me from using them since I find memory foam just feels warm.
For a side sleeper: The big side goes in the gap between your shoulder and head, to support your neck, and your head then lays on the rest of the pillow. Keeps your spine more aligned, much like a pillow between the knees
Doesn't work like that sister. If you lie on your side and put that thing where the neck is then your will stop feeling your arm and then whole hand and you will permanently lose it forever. I need that limb for some time yet
I find these shapes of pillow quite comfortable
Just admit it, you are a fricking Romulan
I've never been more insulted in my entire life than being called a Romulan how dare you :D
I know, this is unforgivable slander. I crossed the line and I am sorry. How can I make amends?
Choccy oat milk
I agree with you. I use pillows of that shape almost exclusively these days.
You consider that a difficult pillow?
Try these on for size. The first turns your WiFi into 5G. The second into 6G, and the final one turns it into an ansible.
Yes, this last one is, in fact, a solid piece of jade. Why do you ask?
As someone who's used hardcover books as pillows, what's wrong with a solid piece of jade? Seems pretty posh.
Jade is quite a bit harder than even a hardcover book. ;)
It's not all that posh, though. That example there costs the equivalent of about $35.
Hardness is a lot less important than shape, IMO. Well, I suppose a pillow that's too soft to hold a shape is very bad, but that still comes back to shape, y'know?
Are you stupid? You sleep on your Abacus?
How else do you count sheep?
Doesn't everyone sleep?
