Hey man, the sun exists and you can see it. I'd pray to it before I prayed to any of the others.

Also considering:

Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient

Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long

Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths

Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion

Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children

People used to sacrifice other people to appease it

Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes

In 4.5 billion years, the sun will begin the fusion of iron.

At this time, the sun will become a red dwarf, swelling in size, and swallowing the earth.

Or at least, burning us to a crisp.

Even a built-in apocalypse conclusion!

We actually have only have 0.5 billion years left before the earth becomes uninhabitable for life.

I think this is relevant, because evolution thus doesn't have that much time left. Sure, 0.5 billion years ago there were no real land-dwellers, but still. As a layperson, I'm sceptical that evolution could create a spacefaring species in that timespan again.

I leave you with the wisdom of the late great philosopher, George Carlin:

TLDW: The Earth wanted plastic. The Earth made Humans. Now that the Earth has plastic, it doesn't need Humans!

Oh no, disagreement on lemmy! Quick, call them tankie while ignoring actual tankies!

Posting climate denial without context is still climate denial and those dictatorships have to deal with the reality of climate change mid-term as well.

Framing opposition to climate denial as red-auth is naive.

If you think that George Carlin was promoting climate denial then you're really uninformed.

Here is a reddit thread I found that discusses the nuance of his take, which was cinically that the earth will endure. It would gladly be rid of us and we won't leave a trace. Ie we can fix it or we can ignore it, until nature solves the problem. US. We're the problem.

Here's another boomer link

Unless we could escape the Sun before then!

Like if we flew away in a rocket.

[-] Veneroso@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Like if we invested in NASA!?

-edit-

And by funding NASA, you mean defying our lord and savior? THE SUN?!?!? /S

[-] ZarkleFarkle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Yes. We can already build simple rockets. We just need to encode more data in similar ways.
