They underestimated the power of The Hat and understood those where their dark reflections of an alternate their personalities were described with The Hat.
The beauty here is that they ostensibly all knowingly make fun of themselves because they do all own their clichee hats. This is what makes this legendary: No posing, no cringe, just straight up memerey.
I'm shocked nobody wore a cowboy hat and turned into one of those "True Texan" people who post things like "If you don't spend all your day from 6 am to 6 pm working, then go drink beer in the back of your truck to relax, you ain't a true southerner." Or something like that.
SCP-1510 is a standard bronze Roman infantry helmet dating to the Marian Reforms of the year 107 BCE. The helmet bears no marks to distinguish it from other, similar helmets, and shows appropriate signs of aging. The helmet shows no anomalous properties unless worn by a man of the ages 28-35, most likely due to the nature of the entity residing in the helmet (henceforth SCP-1510-1). When worn by a man of the appropriate age, SCP-1510-1 will manifest, overriding the wearer's personality entirely until it is removed, whereupon it will return to normal. The wearer will have no recollection of the time the entity had control over his body. Subsequent scans reveal no lasting effect on brain chemistry nor any lasting residue of SCP-1510-1's personality. When addressed, SCP-1510-1 will identify himself, in classical Latin of the Central Italian dialect, as Publius Carthephilus Aetius, a Roman soldier formerly under the command of the Consul Gaius Marius, who fought in the Jugurthine War and died under unclear circumstances the night following the triumphus of that war (see interview logs). SCP-1510 was recovered after the Foundation intercepted reports of a man wearing an antique Roman helmet rampaging across the streets of ██████, Italy. The man was shouting profanities in Latin and attacking passersby with a spade, and after being arrested by local police and having his helmet removed, showed no recollection of the events, nor any skill in speaking Latin. The Foundation recovered the helmet and had the man, a known grave robber, committed to an asylum after questioning and the administration of class-C amnestics. Initial testings of SCP-1510 proved fruitless, until a D-class personnel of a suitable age was selected. At first, personnel wearing the helmet showed signs of aggression and confusion and refused to communicate with research crews, but after several tests SCP-1510-1's aggression subsided and the subject became more cooperative, which made interviewing it possible.
As of 7:56, January 26th, 2014, a new anomaly with effects similar to the SCP noted above has been detected, and, subsequently, over the years been shown to merely be the first in a series of documentations. As of March 17th, this has been as many documented, and should be added by the correct personnel to the database. I, personally, suggest we keep this anomaly public to prevent mass suspicion, and to further analyze this strain of anomalies. Although, it would be a good idea to keep these anomalies’ locations and current “uses” to date and often checked.
It's not the hat it's both the outfit and the person wearing It. Same goes for trench coats. You pair it with a nice suit or the outfit complements the hat
Wait you're meant to coordinate what you wear with a trench coat? I just wear whatever under a trench coat. Usually a maroon or black hoodie and jeans.
@catish I mean it depends A: how visible your legs are (jeans are fine but dress pants will almost always look better), B: the pattern / look of the coat itself, C: weather you wear it open or closed (if it's always closed anyway whats under isnt such a big deal, even a polo will look alright), and of course finally D: the hat-- or lack thereof. also, I think this person was talking about how these kind of hat should be paired with a suit or coat at least. not necessarily that a coat always needs a suit under
My bf is the local trenchcoat guy and he wears jeans and a tshirt under his everyday trenchcoat and a button up vest and tie under his fancy trenchcoat
As some who genuinely has a hat collection, I can say that this is no meme. I wear a deerstalker when ever I need to solve a murder. It always ends up being the person in a Breton cap for some reason.
I'm the OP (first person too) of it. If you really want to know what I've been up to I have a fairly decent singing and comedy career locally and have almost never worn a hat since this.
> Find a blue doctor seuss hat "This doesn't actually work, does it?" > Put it on > Furniture starts rearranging all over the room "Virtual insanity is what we're living innnn" >Slap it off my head "Hm. I better keep it. God knows i can't pull off these dance moves without it."
Obviously the songs that should play in the background are Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf for the motorcycle helmet and the opening riff to Fortunate Son by Credence Clearwater Revival for the soldier helmet, but what other songs should be in the background for each kind of hat?
"Now, the RU-vid video about this post has returned to my feed a month after it was posted. It will never die."... side eyes, my tophat with steam punk goggles resting on the brim. "Professor, are you in there?"
Years ago, an episode of Reading Rainbow took place in a magic hat shop. If you put on the hat, you'd go to that hat's original location (jockey cap - racetrack; engineer's cap - model railway; hockey helmet - goalie net). This post feels very similar to that episode.
*lookes over at my frog hat * it can’t possibly be so terrible, right? * wears it* /ribbit/ wHAT DOES F4 MEAN IF THERE’S ONLY THREE FROGS IN THIS ROOM /ribbit/
This reminds me of Wayne from Brandon Sandersons Wax and Wayne series. Wayne is a master of disguise who essentially knows everything about a person's life if he puts on their hat. He is constantly running from his own past and wants to live someone else's life instead of his own which he believes is not worth living.
@@webbowser8834 Correct, this is from 2014, but Homestuck is a webcomic that was at its height during that time (as the comic itself received irregular updates between 2009 and 2016, when it ended).
I saw this post a few years ago but there's been so many amazing entries since! Thanks for voice acting this! EDIT: I have a flamingo hat, if I ever see this post on my dash I will add to it.
This post is either a blessing or a curse. Because of all the additions, it's extremely long, and if you're on mobile or you don't know the key to skip to the next post, you'll be scrolling through it for a LONG time, whether you like it or not.
As an absolute love of all things hats, I gotta say... THE FIRST TWO HATS WERE NOT FEDORAS! THEY ARE TRILBYS. what’s the difference between a Fedora and a Trilby you may ask? A Fedora is surround by flat, while a Trilby has a curve at the back. Two. Different. Things.
THANK YOU! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST THIS. IT’S ONE OF MY PET PEEVES. 😂 A TRILBY IS NOT A FEDORA. And I will never forgive the “nice” guys who besmirched the good name of the fedora with their nonsense. /haberdashery rant
@@ButMadNNW626 Finally someone agreeing! Annoyingly some people I meet will ignore me and keep calling trilbys, fedoras. And omigosh it's one of my pet peeves too 😂
Imagine a US President being like, "There's no way this works." *puts on a stovepipe top hat* "FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO..." *throws hat across the Oval Office*
now i just wanna put a spin on it with cat ears and just do a catgirl pose with a large floofy tail but have someone else walk into frame and pull them off me with a "no!" as i stand there, tail gone, in the same pose, utterly confused
Oh my god. I thought this post was old since basically half of the participants has the signature “Justin Bieber” cut, but HOLY MOLY is that a heritage post and a half. Seriously, I was like in preschool around then, probably younger.
You know, I _do_ own a fedora (it was a random gift, I swear), and I _have_ been considering to make a tumblr account... If it ever lands on my dash, I might have to commit to the bit.
Oh my gosh...I forgot this meme format (which I probably first saw as a bootlegged Tumblr post that was turned into a Pinterest pin, circa 2014) existed! Ah, meme-ories...
THE THING IS MY FRIEND HAD THIS ON THEIR BLOG AND I WAS CONFUSED AF WHEN I FOUND IT THERE WHEN SEARCHING FOR AN OLD ASS ART SHITPOST AND THERE WAS A HALLOWEEN EDITION HAT THAT WAS LEFT OUT THERE'S SO MUCH TO THAT POST OMFG-
