Winter / Summer Bash 2022 just started today, and within the first hour, nearly a million hats have been awarded across the network.

Let's show them off here! As with the 2021 edition, I'll copy the same text from the 2017 edition:

Post hats, hats, and more hats! Those that you're especially proud of, or that you simply look good in - all are welcome ;)

    If Community gets the bounty, will it have 301 rep?

Is it too matchy-matchy?

The community user wearing the I Voted hat, which looks like a boater in the same colors as the logo of the avatar for the bot.

    So this is a "hat"? Am I wrong all this time? I've been taught that this particular thing is called "Glasses". Is this a new lingo for ESL such as myself to learn? Curious...

    @Alvi15 I'm not sure if there's been a post about that, but I guess they generalized the notion of "hat" to "headgear" and "avatar decoration".

    At least more consistent than TF2 where "hats" includes even shoes and backpacks.

The cookie takes revenge on the ones who ate it.

A bitten crescent-shaped chocolate chip cookie is posed to bite the heads of two small children, similar to Pac Man eating one of the ghosts.

    @V2Blast it helps that Bella_Blue has one of the most artful avatars I've seen on the network. If I'm not mistaken it's a caricature and from the artistic choices of proportion and color I'd say it was done by a professional - as an artwork the caricature is nothing short of amazing.
