Hats

The hats are a fun feature that have periodically been available on the talkhaus from time to time for a number of years. Hats are transparent images of hats that show up above a user's avatar. The hat is unclickable and fades out when the user hovers over it, so that it doesn't block the user from interacting with site features.

The site currently sports christmas party hats that were never disabled last time they were enabled,.

Christmas hats
Christmas party hats are a tradition from the United Kingdom, in which two people pull one side each of a christmas cracker, which then cracks like a party popper as one person is left with the bigger half that includes the middle. The middle part typically contains a party hat, a small toy, and a bad joke on a piece of paper.

The party hats were originally introduced one christmas, and show up again every christmas time. After they were most recently enabled, they haven't been disabled again so they're still visible next to every post.

Birthday hats
A birthday hat used to be shown above the avatar of users who are celebrating a birthday. It was permanently shown for [Nimono]. It doesn't seem to appear in the current version of the talkhaus though so isn't currently pictured here.

Hat in time hats
The hat in time hats were raocow's hat in time playthrough (talkhaus thread). They were originally added as raocow unlocked the hats in-game, but not all were added due to time constraints.

A variation on the hat in time hats that includes all ingame hats (but without being edited to fit avatars better) is still available in the Best Hatricia Hat thread.

Hat contest hats
A hat contest was held in May 2020 as a bit of pandemic fun. Users could submit hats, which were then shown across the talkhaus until the end of the contest. After the contest, the hats are still visible in the talkhaus first annual hat contest thread.

King of all cosmos hat
The King of all cosmos hat was added during raocow's lets play of Katamari Damacy (talkhaus thread). This was added as a result of this exchange in the talkhaus first annual hat contest thread.
