I think you can nap. As evidence I present the scene where Rita and Larry go to the morgue to identify Phil’s body. This suggests that the time loop continues the day beyond Phil-specific events (like death, and naps)

I don’t know, that’s not really in my wheel house

Australian xmas is a mishmash, you take cold traditions and make them warm, the food is similar but different, outdoor sports or swimming are common, it’s easy to get around

For my money breakie and presents with one family then lunch with another, prawns from the barbie, roast ham served cold with salad, beers by the pool and backyard cricket make for a distinctly Australian xmas

If that’s just a Winter Xmas to people from the Northern Hemisphere I’d be surprised

I’m going to a Christmas in July party in Australia tonight!

In Australia you have Xmas in July because it’s an excuse to have a party. It’s understood not to be like real Xmas though, more a themed party.

As an Aussie I would not set out to have Xmas in July in the Northern Hemisphere specifically because I wanted a hot Xmas, but living there you might do it to show off Australian Xmas customs to locals.

The reason I would call reddit social media is that I don’t agree with any of those rules

The closest I would agree with is 2, and not based on lack of anonymity but instead on persistence of identity, and that being core to the experience

I was part of subreddits where users knew each other as distinct personalities, and could converse across different threads across time, and occasionally IRL from various meetups

When a website doesn’t have a lively and persistent ‘local’ community (maybe geographic, maybe subject etc) it can’t really be social

For some reason I don’t count youtube as social media - If I went to reddit and read comments without voting that would count, but youtube is just a video delivery platform (and I don’t read the comments). Not sure if that’s a real distinction I can make

Hackernews is a link-based message board, Ars is a article-based website

Both used to be just tech, but have started being a bit more general or tech-adjacent
