    Why would libs put it there in the first place?

    Big if true. Maybe as much as 330,000 the mass of the earth.

      That’s like… 1 sun. What a coincidence.

    I know it is a meme, but I feel this is a little too belittling of climate change being responsible for increase in temperature. Like, I can see this unironically shared on Facebook and twitter with people being “hurrdurr, fake climate change, heat comes from sun!!!”.

      My conspiracy theorist mom shared stuff like this all the time. This will absolutely be shared among climate change deniers as they roll coal on their way to the funeral for their daughters who died in the Texas floods.

      The solution to climate change is to blow up the sun. Obvious.

      Yeah, someone should put an Onion watermark on this thing for safety!!

    The number of times I’ve had to explain to adults that the sun is a star is way more than it should be. It never stops being so disappointing too that even the most basic shit, not this exclusively, is just something so many people don’t know, think about, have any interest in and don’t ever read more than the sparse title about that thing in the news (those titles and articles often being partly of fully false).

      I’ve explained to many adults, many with college educations, that insects are animals. Understandable for those who don’t realize corals are animals, but they think bugs are plants or something? Smh

        I think for many people, when they say animal, they think vertebrate. When asked what insects are, they can’t answer.

    Idk anything about stars or solar systems, but when my house gets too hot I just close the curtains and it helps everything cool down. Maybe we can close earth’s curtains and will fix it?

      This does happen and it’s an effective way to decrease the temperature:

      Might be difficult to implement at scale though.

      • nexguy@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        By more importantly, what color should the curtains be?

        That’s literally a photo of it happening at the only scale that matters. The solution is that once the moon is there, we just need to stop it from moving away.

        Problem solved forever.

        A remote positional moon-sized sun shade? That’s crazy enough to work I think you’ve solved the heatwave here

        source
      • Pandantic@midwest.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Couldn’t we do this in a more localized way for large cities? Like a big ol’ shade satellite for areas being dangerously affected by heat waves? I know it’s just a bandaid but we will need these kinds of extreme weather mitigation techniques to keep us alive so we can solve climate change or die trying.

        It’s not really hard to implement at all but would just trade pest for cholera. We could just burn a lot of coal again, the dustier and dirtier the better. But that’s pretty bad for air quality but it would seriously cool the planet.

    They should try to extinguish it… with water…

    source
    • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Well, if you add enough water quickly enough, it should cool down.

      And if you add it slowly enough, it should just go out after “just” a “short” while.

      source
      • Kornblumenratte@feddit.org ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I doubt this would work. The sun runs on hydrogen fusion. Adding water is just adding fuel to fire.

    Why is Saturn bigger than the sun?

    • ladicius@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Perspective can’t be the answer.

      source
      • jaybone@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        But it’s behind the sun, so perspective should make it even smaller! Also this is obviously to scale.
