I'm not. The Sun isn't real, it's just something The Church made up to control the sheeple.

[–] damnthefilibuster 9 points 1 year ago

So… the Sun is just a cold orb that reflects the Moon’s light?

But, if there's no sun, how do we know when it's time to wake up?

I do believe that's checkers, mate.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

You're trying to get me in trouble with the orb.

[–] themeatbridge 11 points 1 year ago

The orb will stop you. It will fill your retinas with white-hot energy waves that cause intense pain and permanent damage if you don't stop.

The orb wants you to know it's there, and will provide for you, but it does not want you to look at it.

There is a glowing red-hot disc on the top of your stove that you're not allowed to touch, and nobody questions that?

It burning out your retina if you stare too long isn't exactly the same as being unseen. I can see the fucker; just not for long periods of time in a row. :P

Oh, now I need to know. If the entirety of the radiation the sun puts out was concentrated in one beam - a laser - and it hit the earth, how much energy would that be?

Even concentrating a few square feet of the duns energy can start fires, so how much more would it be?

Hmmm...this can be saved by math I think using the fact that at twice the distance the energy is reduced 4 times...

How far is it to the fun...ummm..I need to get some figures.

It seems, though, that concentrating a single stars energy would destroy just snout anything.

[–] SCB 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Warning: rough napkin math

The sun emits as much energy as about a million high-end power plants. Call it about 100 million MW. I'm not taking into account diffusion, both because the earth is very large and because light takes 8 minutes to get here, and I have no idea how to do that math. Assume some fraction of the below.

We have a MW laser. In a 5 second pulse it can destroy missiles mid-flight. If the sun were a deadly laser, it would be as if a million of those were turned on the entire "sunshine" face of the earth at once. This would be beyond catastrophic.

To heat up 1kg of water 1 degree C, you need 4200 joules of energy. 1 MW is approximately 1,000,000 joules. If it hit the Pacific, it would vaporize 1,000,000 kg of water instantly. That's roughly 1,000 cubic meters of ocean water per second.

Obviously, if this hit land, everything on the land is catching on fire, if not outright destroyed. Metal will warp. Forests are burned. People are cooked. The sun is very large, so assume the entire "sunshine" face of the earth is hit, and you have anywhere from tens of millions to billions of people dying near-instantly, depending on time of day, and 1,000 cubic meters of ocean boiled away every second.

Alright. I shall reveal myself: It is I, Q.

You don’t know this, the democrats try to hide this from you: Looking directly into the ball of magic plasma in the sky for about 30 minutes straight will fill your ancient white blood cell batteries. Which means your eyes will turn golden, you will get super fast healing powers and your cock will grow. Works on males and females. But do not blink while looking into it. Not once. Or else you will turn black.

Seriously, why do you think my agents are speaking of „drinking liberal tears“ all the time? Just take the fucking hint dumbass. Look into the sun today.

Q out.

You are totally allowed to do so. But it’s one of the things you only do once if you are unlucky.
