A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

In an ICE facility for undocumented aliens.
the south pole actually has land under the ice so he'd have to move from north to south I guess
Do you think the reindeer will start feeding on the Arctic penguins
Antarctic penguins.
And yes.
Oops
They'll probably at least try since they see bigger chances to win compared to the polar bears that they had to face previously
NOW do you understand why trump's trying to invade Greenland?
Jesus Christ he’s been the grinch all along!
The Grinch is green. Trump's the Orinch.

Hell move back to Turkiye.
I thought Hell could be found in the other country with Turk in its name:
Santlantis
The ground underneath the ice and water. Antlantis or R'leh.
Hooray for Santy Claus!
There's peace on Mars again!
I hear Finland has pretty good views of the Northern Lights. Or Canada, since one of his mailing addresses is there.
Beyond the ice walls..
korvatunturi because that's where he ACTUALLY lives
It is not where, but when. In the past.
Ya mama's house
My mother does make a damn good hot chocolate
Don't worry, the nuclear winter will cancel it out.
He will live on in our memories and in our hearts.
I hate the whole idea of Santa
I actually think it's a great way to teach kids why religions are lies lol
Also make you start doubting every authority figure
At least that's the case for me.
This is such a punk rock take and I love it.
You can't surely be comparing Santa Claus to our Lord and Savior, one is a magical figure that judges us by seeing everything we do and promises reward or retribution.
To be honest I'm not super comfortable with it either. It's something I grew up with but in hindsight it doesn't really make any sense to me.
Alternatively, we could stop lying to our kids from a young age. When you think about it, it's just normalizing the act of lying, which is kinda fucked up
Honestly I never even thought about the lying aspect, I grew to dislike the concept since it's teaching kids that an old man is spying on them all the time.
True, but you get the same thing with religion. And unfortunately it conditions people to be comfortable with mass surveillance
They probably won't be gone completely and it will take thousands of years, so for a while every version of Santa is good.
