Never start with the head, the victim gets all fuzzy. He can't feel the next- [CRACK]

Isn't Santa omniscient? He should already know where the presents are, so he must be a sadist.

Santa isn't omniscient. He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. We can infer from this phrasing that he can't see you when you're awake. He also knows if you've been bad or good but that information isn't as specific.

What if I upload my consciousness to the internet, then ran that through a VPN and Tor and iP2P and all that, think I could shake him?

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

You need to be behind 7 proxies to evade him

Fake: basically VPNs with more steps

Gay: behind

Oh shit, you figured me out

[-] swab148@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

I'm good with secrets.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

You can't even shake Facebook or Google that way. How do you expect it to work against a demi-god?

[-] swab148@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

I think we're discussing the limitations of a fictional being. In the context of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", I'm not sure his powers apply to the internet, being that "He sees you when you're sleeping...", but he only "... knows when you're awake." So if my incorporeal consciousness was uploaded to the internet, do you think I could spoof my online status to green, so that I'd be untraceable to Santa?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Possibly. I have seen many drawings depicting Santa being threatened by technology.

If we're building a thing, I don't think Krampus would be as limited, but his punishment wouldn't be as dire.

Idk I bet he's got contacts all throughout the NSA. He's got a hell of a blackmailing racket going.

[-] swab148@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Or maybe part of his elf crew includes an elite hacking division, and he's essentially in every government network.

Only if, the moment you get uploaded, you say 'I'm in.'

My online consciousness will 100% be wearing 1337 h4x0r sunglasses

I reckon he knows if you've been bad or good because of the parents' assessment of their children's goodness. That is not a specific Santa power, except in as much as the power of Santa to get that parental assessment is a power

I think it has to be based on the parents, as clearly bad kids still get presents, and only their mother thinks they're good.

Our subconsciousness dreams Santa into existence.

[-] c24w@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

He lacks omnipresents!

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Santa only watches children though I think.

Be the Grinch. Get ostracized by looking different. Slowly get shunned from your community and froze out. Be ignored. Everyone hates you for no reason.

They rub it in your face by being as loud and noisy as possible. You tried to get away but they still flaunt it in your face. Only your best doggo understands and loves you still.

You go down and try to stop it and take their shit. Next day, they're still singing their fucking songs. You give them their shit back and NOW they like you.

Lesson: Nobody will like you until it looks like you did something good. Even if it was just a problem you made and you fixed but nothing actually changes.

Isn't this half of what some IT people do?

Maybe that's one of the elves?

Gordon: "Which one are you going after?"

Santa: "MRS. CLAUS!"

Gordon, to his officers: "We're going after Rudolph!"

Driving around this year looking at lights, the grinch is way over represented.

Why are there so many "webcomics" that look exactly like this? AI generated?

Safely Endangered is a pretty popular webcomic, so I highly doubt it's AI, but I guess a lot of the styles we see are becoming sort of similar.
