- Tomte 9y agoUnfortunately, I have so far failed to get a (1538) submission to stick. Well, let's try again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16444460 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16444460
- O_H_E 9y agoI think it does not stick, because I don't understand anything from the title
- Double_a_92 9y agoWell at least you know that it's by Andreas.
- O_H_E 9y agoLOOOOOOOL :D
- hashbig 9y agoLooking at the source code, it only considers titles from 1900 to 2010 as classics.
- bberrry 9y agoTomte is Swedish for "Santa", which seems fitting.
- erikb 9y agoWhy? Does he know when you are naughty? Do you also feel like watching out and not crying when he comes to town?
- randpeck 9y agoIf I recall correctly, the story of Tomte is one where he is alone on Christmas night, pondering what life and death is, and decides that the art of giving is best virtue. He then knocks on everyone's door with a pig beside him and hands out presents to everyone who opens it for him.
- MR_FEET 9y agowe need more Tomtes in this imperfect world of ours.
- nedt 9y agoTomte is not really Santa. It's more a gnome like creature. He's normally living near farms and protects the family and animals. The connection with christmas is quite new and seems more connected with it's other name Nisse, or Julenisse in particular. "The Tomten" by Astrid Lindgren seems to give a good overview of the folklore.
