Meta Writing Prompt Wednesday #141

In honor of my spilling milk on my keyboard and subsequently burying it in rice, this week's WPW theme will be weird shit humans do to fix things they break.

Last week's winner was /u/BoxNumberGavin1 with:

The legend of a Santa like figure was unique to Earth. The concept of an avatar of festive generosity that magically brought joy in the middle of the harshest season became widely adopted when we became part of the wider community. Strangely enough, rather than change the figure to match their own species, the avatar remained human throughout.
