    The sun is the male of its species, and it’s appearance is bright and flashy, used to attract a mate. Unfortunately there’s no female stars nearby. So the poor, stupid thing has spent billions of years courting Jupiter instead.

    But not only is Jupiter a whole different species, it already has a mate - Saturn. You can easily tell that Jupiter’s the male because of its own flashy coloration. Plus, you can even see the ring it gave Saturn when they got married, as well as it’s own much more modest wedding ring.

    From my head the sun use its enormous gravity turn hydrogen gas to plasma called nuclear fusion, this reaction is so powerful that it keep “burning” hydrogen to millions of degrees which is hot enough to radiate heat into earth that make life possible and for humans to make unfunny memes

    You got it the wrong way round

    Space has no oxygen because the Sun burned it all.

    It’s the ultimate min-maxed fireballb spell, slowly expanding after its initial casting some 4 to 5 billion years ago (relative local time). We’re in range of its blast radius, but the caster’s turn still hasn’t ended so it hasn’t reached us yet.

    Because it isn’t burning, it’s exploding like a very big big big stick of TNT that’s going off veeeeeery slowly

    The sun is a giant lithium battery that became a spicy pillow and then exploded, and as everyone knows you can’t put out a lithium battery fire like a regular fire. The fire department just pushed it out there into space beyond the environment to let it burn itself out, which is expected to take at least 5 billion more years.

    After it gets dark, they refill it with lighter fluid. Every morning they light it fresh with a big ‘ole Zippo.

    It’s very simple - the sun isn’t burning. The sun is actually a very large healing crystal. As you may know, healing crystals capture the harmonic vibrations of the universe and turn them into things that are good for our health, like warmth, vitamins, essential oils, and positive ions.

    The sun is made out of a healing crystal that converts the vibrations into warmth, witch is what we see as sunlight. The sun is so big that it’s able to capture a lot of harmonic vibrations and so it makes a lot of warmth.

    The real question is who polished the healing crystal that forms the sun, and who put it up into space. The natural answer is that it’s clearly done by my good friend Moonlight Namaste, and she will teach you how to do the same thing if you visit her blog and sign up for her meditation classes. With enough guided meditation, you too will start to see the universal vibrations and learn how to change your oscillations to match the universal vibrations. The first 200 people who sign up will get a free dream catcher, so sign up today!

      This reminded me of a guy I knew who unironically believed we could theoretically wiggle through walls since atoms mainly consist of empty space. (“it’s all about the right frequencies”). He and his wife also sold all that other quack, of course.

    A: The sun isn’t in space it’s its own self contained atmosphere,

    B: The sun has oxygen, or at least it would except…

    C: The sun isn’t “on fire” it’s a fusion reactor, which means it is so hot that the electrons are free flowing so they don’t form into traditional atoms and the nucleus is under so much pressure that the nucleus can combine into a new element releasing ungodly amounts of energy.

    D: magic probably.

    Once you realise the so called “sun” is really flat, the answer becomes obvious.

    They pipe the oxygen in from behind the sun.

    The sun can also use souls as a comburant. It’s kept alight by the stores of sacrifices it’s accumulated over time. But sacrifices aren’t as common and the stocks are running down… Thankfully, there are some secret organisations handling this problem.
