The Topological Blanket Problem

Trying to find the long side of your blanket is like navigating a non-orientable manifold in topology. That colorful torus is basically a Klein bottle's cooler cousin - a shape where inside becomes outside and concepts like "long side" cease to exist. Mathematicians call this a one-sided surface, I call it the reason I'm freezing at 3 AM while wrestling with bedding that apparently exists in higher dimensions. The universe really said "you want warmth? Solve this topological puzzle first, puny human."
