I'm with everyone else here:

The account has two comments from 10 months ago about how there is no real justification for using the atomic bombs on Japan, and this post. Really not sure what the dela is

Which is also my reaction to the post being upvoted.

Gonna need some context on the sells information or else you risk being on the Santa Naughty List

No smoke without fire.

A meme said it! Can't be wrong, unless proof otherwise!

Well actually, You can heat things up to a temperature where they do sublimate, without there being an ignition source.

“No smoke without fire” is a misnomer.

Did you ... Have a bad dream or something?

Fantasy author Neil Gaiman?

That certainly looks like his photo... when did he turn into Google Adsense?

I bet his website has google analytics or some shit, and a weenie is all upset about it.

I'm pretty sure Neil Gaiman enjoys milk and cookies, he even wrote the story Fortunately, The Milk where a kid goes back in time to get the ever-important milk that his father forgot to pick up.

It was my favorite book when I was like 8 years old.

There's no evidence Santa isnt selling our data

Everyone knows Santa is in bed with corporations. Just look at how many cameos he makes in ads and shopping malls! I would be very surprised if he didn't sell all his data.

There is a Brazilian Rock Band with a great song named "Santa Claus son of a bitch" (or maybe motherfucker) here is the Google translate (with light editing) of the first couple verses:

Santa Claus motherfucker
Reject the wretched
I want to kill him!
That capitalist pig

Give gifts to the rich
And spits on the poor
Give gifts to the rich
And spits on the poor

I've come back to this after sleeping to check; has anyone figured out what the hell this means?

I've also come back but 6 h later. Can confirm. No one knows what it means

Maybe it was a convoluted way of breaking the news that Neil Gaiman is a sex pervert

I must be confused... Good omens Neil gaiman?

Yeah, but... Why did you capitalize 'Good' and 'Neil', but not 'omens' and 'gaiman'?

Looks like mobile auto formatting to me. G after a period, N is from a name, g ends with a ? but no space afterwards, so it doesn't auto capitalize.

Alright, Columbo, calm down.

Alright, Columbo, calm down.

Ok, legit sremoved from that, but I do approve of the way they showed their working.

Edit: do I have to write “snicker” like an American? Does some bot suffer from the Scunthorpe problem here?

With current AI hallucinations, you at least have a glimpse of what is happening. This hallucination is absolute bonkers though.

This post and the comments need to be studied by researchers to understand what is happening

Santa's the one buying all the personal information because he has to update the naughty list

Wait, what? Did i miss some scandal or something?

I love how everyone is debating "Sells that information to companies", but no one's talking about "knows everything you do".

Where do you think he gets his story ideas? You think Sandman is fiction?

Who is Niel?

Author of American Gods, Coraline, countless other gems and the co-writer of Good Omens with Pratchett.

Never heard of any of that. But thanks.

Go pick up smoke and mirrors, it’s a short story collection, very easy to get into. If you love it, check out the American Gods novel and the Sandman comics. The original sandman is a bit dated at this point, but still some amazing storytelling.

Ironically, my favorite story from that collection is a hundred word horror story about Santa.

Huh... Maybe OP is just really offended on St Nick's behalf?

Guys, I figured it out. Remember when, seemingly from out of nowhere, Russell brand was like, I TOTALLY NEVER DID NO SHIT LIKE...!

Maybe
