Depends on where you live. Sunhats are pretty normal around the world. Other types of men's headwear are commonplace in specific countries, and some religions have religious men's headwear.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Last when it was too hot outside for my noggin (which happens rarely hereabouts, even though I'm balding), I tore a square of white cloth from the rag heap in garage (meant for motor oil and suchlike), folded into a doube triangle, and tied the whole mess onto my noggin (apex goes behind, hypotenuse on the forehead, knot behind again).
What's that called? A bandana? Probably not a turban.

I got a beanie with a short bill that I wear when it's cold.
I wear hats. This is just confounds me.
And I am far from balding. What?
I've seen bucket hats as well. Occasionally, a fedora
I wear a coolie or conical straw hat when doing yard work.
I don't like hoods or umbrellas so I wear hats in bad weather. Or strong sun.
Baseball caps are ok for bad weather since it stops the rain getting on my face, but if it's really tipping it down I'll often wear a waterproof, waxed-cotton bucket hat I have. In good weather I have my trusty tarp hat which is awesome.
Oh, yes, we also have hoodies, but it drives me absolutely crazy how useless cotton is in the rain and the cold.
I have a waterproof hoodie that looks like cotton. Unfortunately it doesn’t breathe or stretch like cotton, and most importantly the hood doesn’t stand up enough to keep the rain off
Back in the day I chuckled when David Lettermen said that anyone who wears a fedora after the 1950's looks like a dick.
I cannot say that I long for the return of hats, as I do not enjoy wearing hats. More power to you in your quest for hats.
I long for the day when facial hair falls out of fashion again.
ew why. I cannot stand clean shaven. Beards are beautiful
I do not like my chin these days, but I am heartily sick of the middle-age goatee.
No, and I hate that it somehow became socially acceptable to wear them inside.
