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.
Aliens need to start using paper straws
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!
It took a deep breath…
The sun isn’t burning. Wtf are you talking about? The sun is a projector. Projecting our live onto this planet earf.
Modest Mouse intensifies
It’s burning with hatred for earth. It wants to consume it, but it will take time to gather enough strength…
Time in which frustratingly, its flaming hate transformed earth into a unique, living planet, and lead to the most vile and disgusting creation in the entire universe, My Little Pony.
The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma.
The sun is a bad smell that creates disease?
Yes, a disease called “life”. Easily curable though.
Not quite as catchy as the original
The sun is technically not burning. It’s just lesser freezing than the rest.
the souls of the damned
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.
It is the flaming tail of the turtle that the Turth (turtle-earth…
This is an often misunderstood aspect of the sun. The sun doesn’t need to pull oxygen into itself to burn. It just does a bit of fusion magic!
When a star is dense enough it starts to fuse Helium together through a process called the “triple alpha process”; which results in Carbon! From there it’s pretty direct for the star to fuse one more Helium to the Carbon via stellar nucleosynthesis to create Oxygen!
So you see, the Sun doesn’t need to draw Oxygen from space. It just makes its own!
Because it isn’t burning, it’s exploding like a very big big big stick of TNT that’s going off veeeeeery slowly
After it gets dark, they refill it with lighter fluid. Every morning they light it fresh with a big ‘ole Zippo.
Wind turbines are fanning the flames and keeping it hot.
There is oxygen in space, it’s just a different type of oxygen that we can’t see
You guys can see oxygen?
it must be the poop bear
space contains all of the oxygen
Am I the only one who can’t watch his shows or movies because he’s so unsettling and odd looking?
I think that’s precisely why he works so well for Mr robot
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
Hello friend
The sun burns differently, it’s burning generates the oxygen it needs to burn, its a perpetual motion machine
Because there isn’t enough water to put it out
The hilaries are making it
it’s flaming because of all the gay
it’s hot.
You are all mad! The sun is definitely getting oxygen! The giant space bellows hide just out of sight on the precisely opposite side of the sun from earth, so we’ve never been able to observe them.
Gringolth the oxidation wizard had been pumping them for millions of years. The biggest risk is that he dies before being replaced by an offspring!
*the Illuminati “stay where you are”
it produces its own oxygen , duh
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Why hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
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.
Secret organizations? Well I guess that rules out Boeing.
No one said they did everything themselves, they don’t mind outsourcing !

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.
