Well one Stamets just shares content so not the author of the meme and second weird one off intrusive thoughts like these are pretty common. Now that being said if one begins dwelling and considering it rather than having the usual 'WTF brain" reaction we usually have then yes help maybe needed.
What else am i supposed to do? Sleep and fail at literally everything i am doing and that’s of any worth in my life just because i don’t want to be tired the next day?
There's a big difference. Zero sane adults actually believe in Santa.
The Santa tradition, I think, teaches something very important to kids: that they are the ones who need to figure out what's true and what's not, even when that disagrees with what trusted authority figures say. Religion doesn't do that, since there's never a time when the curtain is pulled back on it.

In antiquity maybe, but in modern times with access to information – Adulthood, that’s when one should have the mental faculties to understand that organized religion is a scam.
It’s one thing to believe that there may be more than science can currently demonstrate or worlds we can’t access, it’s another to believe the stories organized religions are based on.
My point being that there are great numbers of adults people who still literally believe in the organized religion of their choice. Those people do not "pull back the curtain" for their children when they come of age; they continue to propagate the religion as truth.
Oh god yeah. Some early video games are fucking horrendous for this. Thank GOD that it’s almost essentially now to have sliders for individual tracks. Always end up lowering the music to 75, the sound effects to 85-90 and the dialogue stays at 100.
I have a surprising number of games which I play with BGM at 1%. That is nuts! Why should any game be designed roughly 100x too loud!?
If memory serves, Age of Empires 3 DE is this way last I tried to play and chat on Discord. Earth Defence Force 4, and all of the new Counter Strikes are similar. It’s a war on eardrums!
the whole Taylor swift worshipping (from people and media) really irks me because I thought it was not so long ago that everybody was talking about her private jet use and carbon dumping, but apparently it was a long time ago and nobody cares anymore
Honestly if they made a normal Tesla pickup truck and then a few limited edition cyber trucks for some massive amount of money I think it would have worked out really well.
Like imagine if the average person couldn’t buy a cyber truck but they gave Keanu Reeves one as a Cyberpunk 2077 tie in. The Internet would go absolutely insane.
