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.

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.

Because the Telltubbies perform live human sacrifice at the Winter Solstice to summon a New Sun.

Because there isn't enough water to put it out

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!

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.

At the center you will find a cat tied to a piece of buttered toast.

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

They pipe the oxygen in from behind the sun.

It's just very angry

Am I the only one who can't watch his shows or movies because he's so unsettling and odd looking?

When I was a kid, I had no context for a lemur and saw a photo of one in my grandpa's encyclopedia. I thought for the longest time lemurs were human sized and their faces were so creepy and haunting to me. I think of that lemur when I see Rami Malek

they're actually was oxygen in space but they used it all as fuel for the stars and since then they've been converting them to electric.

secondary fun fact: burning all the oxygen in space as fuel has caused space to heat up and is what's leading to the imminent "heat death" of the universe.

I remember reading once that if the sun was made of entirely wood .. it would take about 5,000 years to burn out.... which is roughly the same timeline and age given by the Christian Bible.

The sun is actually a sad FAILED star! SMALL! When you look at the stars I look at Big stars strong stars. The sun is Nothing! Crooked Mercury props it up! That's why Mercury lops so bad now. Sad. The other stars they want toake our sun into one of those shithole stars. BLACK HOLES!! Not me though I love the Sun ask anyone. No one can take care of the sun like me. We're practically the same color

Wind turbines are fanning the flames and keeping it hot.

Like rocket engines in space, the sun has its own oxidizer tank. Let's hope it won't run out anytime soon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I think it’s got about 3-4 billion years left in the tank, if I remember reading correctly. It won’t be humanity’s problem.

Hello friend

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Don't tell me you still believe in oxygen! The sun is made of phlogiston, so it instantly ignites. Since there's no air in space for the phlogiston to saturate into, it can keep burning for millions of years!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is to blame on solar panels. Modern ones are very black, i.e. a serious lack of light, creating a photonic imbalance that forces light upwards, where gravitational clustering creates an illusion of a burning spherical object.
If you are in doubt about this, check old photos- there’s no picture of the sun before the invention of solar panels. Same goes for paintings, although really old ones have a sort of symbolic sun-like object, which may be caused by the solar panels on visiting aliens’ starships (ref. Von Dänicken, 1968).

it's flaming because of all the gay
