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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Which is also my reaction to the post being upvoted.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

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

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi 93 points 4 days ago (9 children)

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

There's no evidence Santa isnt selling our data

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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 heard he's a Coca-Cola Plant

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

Fantasy author Neil Gaiman?

[–] LemmySoloHer 59 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Donjuanme 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] deltapi 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

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

[–] Lemming421 33 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What’s wrong with Neil’s beard?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honesty the funniest thing I’ve read on the lemmiverse. Holy shit. I don’t understand why it is so funny.

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

Neil "Scary Trousers" Gaiman

Geil Naiman

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

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

[–] robocall 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] SzethFriendOfNimi 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] robocall 8 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Never heard of any of that. But thanks.

https://xkcd.com/1053/

Not sure what library/resources you use but definitely worth checking out

[–] robocall 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's a wholesome comic. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ironically, it's a pretty well-known one itself (you see people just refer to it by mentioning "today's 10000").

[–] davidagain 5 points 3 days ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.
