Well, they took inspiration from Clement Clarke Moore’s (1922) “Twas the night before Christmas” and illustrations from Thomas Nast (1881) showing him in red with the sack over his shoulder. Certainly, Coca Cola has solidified the modern image with their ad campaign though starting in 1931. Src

Good on them. Can someone non-snarkily explain why this is good for them financially?

Got me

Not even on the same continent. Hippos are in Africa and Tigers are in Asia. Pretty big desert in between

That’s why it never worked for me. I assumed CE was Clear Everything.

I concur

Most creatures are a tube. Food goes in one end and out the other… Well, not starfish

We all are… Well, unless you happen to be a starfish

He’ll call you tomorrow

Mass per volume is density, and I suspect the Trex and kangaroo are similar (~1000 kg/m^3) so yes they’d both bounce in that case. I think what you’re looking for is surface area to volume, which decreases rapidly as an object gets larger while maintaining geometry.

Today?

A very similar enlightenment moment came to me as well long ago as an Intro Geology student

Named for a dude’s wife, Charlene, and shoehorns into an appropriate mythological figure

I know. That statement was weird. In just a few lines of code I can chew up all available ram on a machine.

Don’t worry, we all will. We all came from a sun, and will all return to one.

Try being a geoscientist… So, so many blurry photos of rocks folks’ kids find in the backyard

Just an example, but I’ve worked in central Africa and was recently at a very rural hospital where there was no running water and no electricity (other than local solar), and while there they received an airborne blood delivery via drone from a facility about 100 miles and about 4 hour drive time away. This was extremely helpful and managed through Internet communication.

Democratization of communication resources substantially helps other facets. I hate this sort of knee jerk whataboutism. Aid can and should be multifaceted.
