santa doesn't concern himself with travelling the world; instead, he creates a stable time loop and uses his reality bending powers to shift all christmas tree locations in the world to be within 1 km from each other from his point of view. then, being in a stable time loop, he can deliver all presents at a casual pace - to us, it seems like it's barely a minute had passed, to him it's roughly 10 000 years. he doesn't mind, he's used to that. he's also used to seeing hundreds, thousands of past and future selves going around in that same time loop, delivering presents. he even stops to greet and cheer up an occasional past self; "ho ho ho!" he proclaims cheerfully, knowing that his jolly work will continue forever

Honestly out of all the scenarios of how Santa travels around the world in one night this is probably the most plausible one

See thats the thing about Santa and Goons.

believing in Santa is totally cool if you generally had a good childhood.

but goons are like "My parents kept me in a box till i was 10 because I didnt say the Lords prayer right and i think believing in Santa is poo poo"

its like no duh your gonna be thinkin that

people like me stopped believing in Santa gradually. I cant even remember when i stopped but i do know i was just like, of course hes not real, that makes way more sense. neither are wizards and dragons and unicorns. people make it out to be some horrible thing, like your putting them through a crisis of faith or some poo poo.

Like no I'm pretty sure it was the other child abuse stuff, not the santa stuff that hosed you up.

Yeah if you had bad times as a kid Santa won't change that. Santa will however tell you that you deserved it. The kids from affluent families get better gifts from Santa than kids from poor or neglectful parents because they are Good boys and girls.

Santa is your first chance to teach your kids that the Just World Fallacy is good and true.

Is "drunk in his socks" a new expression of extreme inebriation that I haven't run across, or did he actually, like, lose his shoes

no he intentionally took his shoes off in the first five minutes as it became increasingly clear that he 1) was drunk and 2) didn’t have any kind of planned outline or anything

honestly it was pretty a pretty entertaining evening overall if you take him as a weird enthusiastic bill nye wannabe for grownups instead of Captain I loving Love Science

From what I understand (I could be completely wrong)

The term object permanence is usually a basic tool used to compare animal intelligence. Most animals can't do it, block off line of site and as far as the animal knows the object is gone. Babies develop it around 5 months.

Some people with ADHD have "out of sight out of mind" they know they object is still there, they just struggle to keep their attention on it, some people also call this object permanence.

So using the term "object permanence" is kind of insulting as your insinuating ADHD people lack a key component of human intelligence which they do not.

Object permanence is a thing that babies develop around eight to nine months old and means "just because I cannot see the thing I realise that the thing doesn't stop existing". Whether or not you remember where you put your keys, you know your keys don't stop existing because you can't see them.

Do animals not have object permanence though? Like, most predators don't think prey is permanently gone the moment they lose sight of it, otherwise they'd all starve, right? If I put an object in between my cats and a toy they investigate.

Do my cats think I'm gone forever every time I'm not in the same room as them?

Cats and dogs have a partially developed one. There have done studies and if you hide a toy, both often will fail the test. Hide food and they usually pass it maybe because of smell? Not sure why.

Primates have a high developed one, close to humans. A lot of predators have some level of it but a lot of prey animals have none.
I only know a cursory knowledge about it sorry.
