Comment on what would happen if a rogue, earth-size planet ran straight into the sun? anything interesting?

Yeah, but single large mass hitting in one place vs stuff spread out vs planet forming a ring and deorbiting over months/years would affect the outcome
Practically, I’d think there wouldn’t be a huge effect beyond some CMEs - the mass of the earth is a rounding error compared to the sun - but I’m not a cosmologist

I tend to agree, but I also am not a cosmologist.

I agree, and I once dated a cosmetologist.
