Not accounting for the naughty kids who flipped a light switch on the Sabbath. Probably Santa would have to visit about 3 homes in total, which is why most adults don't believe in Santa.

Santa uses the multiverse and quantum mechanics to do it. That's what he told me.

based. haters gonna hate

What Mr. Tyson doesn't understand is that there are four simultaneous 24-hour days in a single earth rotation

It's literally no issue, Santa can just stop time. Haven't you heard of his stand? He has "The World". It can stop time. Santa is all-powerful. He can stop it for as long as he wants. Checkmate.

I don't really hold this against him, tbh. It might sound insufferable but also is a nice piece of trivia. Maybe because I'm autistic I tend to sympathize with people who write tone-deaf and completely pointless infodumps

Isn't it kind of fucked up to teach your kids about Santa. Like you're basically telling them that family didn't do much gifting for them it was all Santa. Its better for the kid to know you love them and thought about them rather than lie to them and subvert your relationship

Anyways I'm going to the local mall to debate a phony Santa

please god make neil delete his twitter and shut the fuck up forever i'll never ask for anything again

I think ots important for there go be people from the scientific community who act in the role of "popularizers of science." Its good to have liasons to speak to a general audience and make people aware and excited about what they do and discover.

But damn if this guy isn't the most insifferable prick about it

Ngl I do like doing the “if this obviously fake thing were real what would that take” but Neil is still annoying as hell

and he will visit them, as santa is an eldrich horror beyond our comprehension and our belief keeps him banevolent

adult santa enjoyers are SEETHING. they can't withstand his logic

Santa is a very powerful wizard. Possibly the last wizard on earth. Next question

I hate Elon Musk for a lot more reasons than NDT but for those reasons where my hatred of them overlaps I hate them equally

He's magic, Neil. He does it with magic.

so? he's just really good at his job

Has anyone powerscaled Santa yet?

Santa is confirmed as an Omega level mutant with reality warping powers so thats easy for him

Santa has developed a Uber-like app to outsource delivery work to the exploited elfs

In case you were wondering, for Santa to pass through every chimney of the houses of all those who celebrate Christmas, he must be no wider than 25 cm. However, not every house has a chimney—and technically, breaking and entering via a chimney is a crime. If Santa were caught, he might end up in jail!

AITA because I shot Santa while he was entering my house via the chimney??

ELI5 how big is Santas sack?

I beg to differ. We can see his exact route in realtime on Christmas eve delivering presents. 100% possible! https://www.noradsanta.org/en/map

Thank god for epic reddit science man to explain this mystery

It's actually a 26 hour night. That sounds like it makes no sense, but trust me, time zones are weird.

Expanding the definition of night to some 36 hours to improve the lore is a pretty good bit. Like, he is racing the international date line so he gets one hour of night for each time zone and about 10 hours he could spend in each zone to play around with does cut down the time pressure a little bit.

If Santa Claus was real, he would not survive the yankee reich. This would be mitigated by no USAmericans being on the good list

Quantum Santa entanglement

we never had wrapped presents from "santa" under the tree... all the presents were from mom and dad.. but on christmas morning our stockings would have candy and small toys like a yoyo or a harmonica or something in them and the implication was that it was from "santa"

Sounds like the type of person who always says their favourite Christmas movie is Die Hard.

If magic was real it would defy the known laws of physics. Yeah, that is how magic works.

So fucking glad my siblings never told their kids that Santa is real. I'm so happy that I don't have to pretend this guy is anything but a Christmas Mascot

NERDDDDDDD

Santa is a higher dimensional creature though.
