@thepoliticalcat @VoiceofDuum So? We can wait.
@wendinoakland @VoiceofDuum Gurl, you YOUNG. I'm old as dirt, and let me tell you, by the time you hit your 70s, you got enough pain that you're ready to go someplace better. I ain't waiting for that day, I am FLYING to meet it.

Eventually there will be nuclear winter. Where will your precious solar power be then? -

@VoiceofDuum At that time fusion energy will work.

@VoiceofDuum can we be entirely sure this isn't a serious talking point among evangelicals who hate environmentalism
@mxchara @VoiceofDuum Nah, this is a billions-of-years thing. They don't do billions of years.

@thepoliticalcat Five, but do NOT downplay humanity's ability to choose poorly
@VoiceofDuum @thepoliticalcat Actually the move off the main sequence will start already in some 2 billion years. After that, when that 'explosion' occurs doesn't really matter. And BTW it won't be an explosion: Sun-sized stars just shed their outer layers as planetary nebulae and collapse into white dwarves. Hard to turn into a good meme.

@ArtHarg
Yes, because it would enable them to make the biggest profits imaginable, with all the subsidies and the passing on of all risks, including disposal, to the general public. -

@ArtHarg @aerofreak @VoiceofDuum indeed, it would take away all our problems!

@VoiceofDuum if humans are still alive in 40 billion years, when the sun explodes we will simply pop in another one as we do a light bulb

> Actually the move off the main sequence will start already in some 2 billion years.
To be clear, a slow brightening of the Sun as the core fuel stock is depleting has already been going on over geological time. The switch off the main sequence is just an acceleration of this.

@robinsyl@meow.social @VoiceofDuum@mindly.social They push it quite hard these days.

@fenixmaster @VoiceofDuum i would be surprised

@bjarkess Our sun will go into a novae in about 5 million years. You cannot be surprised because you aren't there anymore.
