True it would have to be physically grounded somehow. Maybe an obscure and uncharacteristically benevolent hyper rich fella sets up camp in the north pole.

I guess if we want Santa to exist historically it would take a religious level of interest and investment in ancient times. He would have to be reveared as a god and donated to. Then the organization can have the resources to get everyones Christmas list and send out presents on Christmas.

I think as telescopes get better we just keep noticing bigger structures. Maybe this is just the biggest one we know right now.

I feel like it'd take some amazing statistics and millions of years of data to detail out structures larger than our observable universe.

Nah in the past it looked like a pretty homogeneous mass when zoomed out enough. I assume this center of rotation is no more of a "pure center of the universe" than our sun is.

I'd imagine its just a local maximum for gravity.

He seems to be winding down and just posting for fun now. He isn't as big as he used to be.

As much as I think his wealth is immoral, his content and motivations seem pretty wholesome lately.

I get the point your making. But I feel your aggravation, and it makes me aggravated. It feels like ya just want to argue. If you wanted to have a good faith discussion you wouldn't portray the other side like that.

The one thing I'll say is that political homogeny can be called an echo chamber or a community depending on your angle. If you never leave it's an echo chamber, but if you have other sources then its just a community. I wouldn't call that objectively a bad thing.

I haven't found him tastless in a long while. He seems to just be vibing living his own life at this point.

If you have a good replacement for those breakfast burritos I'd love to hear. They are super unhealthy, and I hate the company, but damn. I love those breakfast burritos.

How do you define upwards in space? North? Or maybe normal to the orbit and vaguely north?

No, but it does sound fun

I agree. Sounds like a didgeridoo with reverb and maybe a resonant low pass.
