Isn't Santa omniscient? He should already know where the presents are, so he must be a sadist.
Santa isn't omniscient. He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. We can infer from this phrasing that he can't see you when you're awake. He also knows if you've been bad or good but that information isn't as specific.
What if I upload my consciousness to the internet, then ran that through a VPN and Tor and iP2P and all that, think I could shake him?
You need to be behind 7 proxies to evade him
Fake: basically VPNs with more steps
Gay: behind
Oh shit, you figured me out
I'm good with secrets.
TIL ED is back
You can't even shake Facebook or Google that way. How do you expect it to work against a demi-god?
I think we're discussing the limitations of a fictional being. In the context of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", I'm not sure his powers apply to the internet, being that "He sees you when you're sleeping...", but he only "... knows when you're awake." So if my incorporeal consciousness was uploaded to the internet, do you think I could spoof my online status to green, so that I'd be untraceable to Santa?
Possibly. I have seen many drawings depicting Santa being threatened by technology.
If we're building a thing, I don't think Krampus would be as limited, but his punishment wouldn't be as dire.
Idk I bet he's got contacts all throughout the NSA. He's got a hell of a blackmailing racket going.
Or maybe part of his elf crew includes an elite hacking division, and he's essentially in every government network.
Only if, the moment you get uploaded, you say 'I'm in.'
My online consciousness will 100% be wearing 1337 h4x0r sunglasses
I reckon he knows if you've been bad or good because of the parents' assessment of their children's goodness. That is not a specific Santa power, except in as much as the power of Santa to get that parental assessment is a power
I think it has to be based on the parents, as clearly bad kids still get presents, and only their mother thinks they're good.
Our subconsciousness dreams Santa into existence.
He lacks omnipresents!
Santa only watches children though I think.
