  What has the north pole to do with Christmas? Santa lives in Rovaniemi, Finland. Jesus was born in the middle east. Presents are made in China. Your house is whatever it is, surely not on the north pole.

    Santa lives at North Pole, Canada. Poatal code H0H 0H0. You can write him a letter and he will reply.

    To be fair, neither are reindeer IRL.

    Santa’s sleigh should be pulled by 8 murderous polar bears.

  Penguins are a Christmas animal because they’re all catholic.

    Not sure I wanna know what comes out when you finally… um… … reach your peak.

      According to any documentary about avian species, predigested fish for their young.

  I can’t say I’ve ever seen penguins in relation to christmas

    I’m part of the problem. I have a penguin inflatable in my lawn. (I also have a dragon and a dinosaur, also not known for Christmas)

      Apparently you haven’t seen the seminal classic from 2014, “The Christmas Dragon”. Lovingly covered by Mystery Science Theater 3000 in season 13 episode 13.

    The latest Coca Cola slop ad probably.

      I thought Coca Cola used polar bears

  I see the ongoing slide into labelling anything mildy analytical as autistic is in full swing.

  • AstaKask@lemmy.cafe ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Disability as a subculture or identity is just really cringe. Especially the deaf/blind organisations lobbying against curing childrens deafness/blindness.

    Context is important. In this case, it wasn’t the place for that kind of analysis.

    source

    • OpenStars@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Although ironically it matches the meta-context perfectly (displaying signs of autism in an exam to detect autistism).

  Am I missing something? A few penguin references / associations with Christmas, sure I’ve seen that. But, at least in my part of the world, they’re not a major part of the lore – or am I having a moment?

  Either way, this can be easily explained: It’s called being inclusive. The last thing you want is a north pole versus south pole world wide Christmas turf war, best to extend an olive branch andlean into that diversity and inclusion metric for the good of the world’s children and the fate of humanity.

  Aren’t they only called penguins because of there resemblance to the now extinct great Auk, which was a Northern pole bird?

  source

  • SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    Probably. Humans driving real penguins to extinction, travelling to the geographic south:

    Eh, close enough. Tis a penguin.

  Santa essentially has teleportation. Space is meaningless to the entity we know as Santa.

  Puffins are cuter, usually less, ahem, fragrant, too.

  If ranting about cultural associations of animals makes me autistic, I don’t want to be autistic!

  My mom bought some awesome South American Christmas ornaments way back in the day. One of them is a parrot and it has been on the tree as long as I can remember.

  Parrots are Christmas animals now.
