xkcd #2872: Hydrothermal Vents

Benthic Santas weren't even discovered until the 1970s, but many scientists now believe Christmas may have originally developed around hydrothermal vents and only later migrated to the surface.
Thank you. This made no sense to me at first.
xkcd's comics will be the next summerian bar jokes a couple thousand years from now.
I mean, take away the context of what santa claus is and this would be incomprehensible.
There is little to no evidence that actual humans live down deep in the sea
Little to no evidence? I'd love to see the little evidence for benthic humans
We did our second SantaCon this year. I’m thinking Benthic Santa for next year. What is SantaCon, you ask? https://www.santacon.info/
