If the little red cap isn't meant to go on top of the antenna, then why does it fit perfectly? Answer that! (feddit.it)

It is the weather sensor.

  • cap wet: raining
  • cap melting: hot day
  • cap brittle: cold day
  • cap bright: sunny
  • cap dark: night
  • cap gone: windy
  • antenna gone: hurricane

It wasn't from the same device but I tried to put this type of cap on my nipples in class when I was a kid and got sent to the office and the other teacher or whoever it was didn't even know what to say and just sent me back after a sigh and a long pause followed by saying "please don't do that". It was the only time I was sent to the office that was memorable in a way that made me want to not do it again.

How little red cap molded my childhood the movie the videogame.

I hope that, now that you're an adult and make your own rules, you wear nip-caps every day.

I would if I could but I just can't get them to fit any more.
