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 5 months ago

Which is also my reaction to the post being upvoted.

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi 94 points 5 months ago (9 children)

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

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

Fantasy author Neil Gaiman?

[–] LemmySoloHer 60 points 5 months 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.

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

There's no evidence Santa isnt selling our data

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months 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

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

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

What’s wrong with Neil’s beard?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago
[–] Donjuanme 34 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] deltapi 9 points 5 months 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.

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

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

[–] robocall 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] SzethFriendOfNimi 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] robocall 8 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Never heard of any of that. But thanks.

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

[–] robocall 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's a wholesome comic. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months 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 5 months ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months 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.
