    NDT’s not even going to mention that Santa probably solved or approximately solved the traveling salesman problem for a complete graph of several hundred million vertices embedded in a spherical topology?

    Ffs that guy is annoying. Did not even do the math, which should have told him that hypersonic does not even scratch the surface unless he has an extremely wide drop-off region.

    Y’all don’t get it. Santa is a hive mind parasite that embeds itself in people and takes over at the later months of the year. It tends to hibernate the rest of the year although much like pollen, it seems to be waking earlier and earlier.

        It’s not a coincidence they start playing Xmas music in October now… Only a matter of time until it’s year round. Blasted climate change!

      “Have you ever seen the film ‘The Prestige’?”

      (Side note: this is my single favorite comedy sketch of all time.)

    Christmas is a federal holiday now too

    All in due time, it is silly to put so much value on one or a few days. Every day can be Christmas when we treat each other well. Good will come to those who deserve, time will tell.

    Parts of Santa’s narrative were adopted by colonists in New York, which blended St Nicholas and stories around Odin. Odin from Greek Mythology was known to fly around on a horse, knew who was good or bad, and at times had presents. In New York at some point, this all changed and a prior diety type figure in Odin became commercialized. The white horse became reindeer. Santa eventually adopted Coca-Cola’s colors and the commercialization and rebooting of Odin was complete. Thanks for reading.

    Lazy ass parents not bothering to update the believability of Santa Claus. Just say there are multiple Santa’s all around the globe that work together. That’s why Santa sometimes looks different when you see him at different places. That’s why there can be a Black Santa, or Asian Santa.

      Probably because he was a Christian.
