    Because it isn’t burning, it’s exploding like a very big big big stick of TNT that’s going off veeeeeery slowly

    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.

    The sun is a giant lithium battery that became a spicy pillow and then exploded, and as everyone knows you can’t put out a lithium battery fire like a regular fire. The fire department just pushed it out there into space beyond the environment to let it burn itself out, which is expected to take at least 5 billion more years.

      Huh. And here I thought it was the furnace where politicians shoveled all the evidence of their graft. TIL

    It’s very simple - the sun isn’t burning. The sun is actually a very large healing crystal. As you may know, healing crystals capture the harmonic vibrations of the universe and turn them into things that are good for our health, like warmth, vitamins, essential oils, and positive ions.

    The sun is made out of a healing crystal that converts the vibrations into warmth, witch is what we see as sunlight. The sun is so big that it’s able to capture a lot of harmonic vibrations and so it makes a lot of warmth.

    The real question is who polished the healing crystal that forms the sun, and who put it up into space. The natural answer is that it’s clearly done by my good friend Moonlight Namaste, and she will teach you how to do the same thing if you visit her blog and sign up for her meditation classes. With enough guided meditation, you too will start to see the universal vibrations and learn how to change your oscillations to match the universal vibrations. The first 200 people who sign up will get a free dream catcher, so sign up today!

    A: The sun isn’t in space it’s its own self contained atmosphere,

    B: The sun has oxygen, or at least it would except…

    C: The sun isn’t “on fire” it’s a fusion reactor, which means it is so hot that the electrons are free flowing so they don’t form into traditional atoms and the nucleus is under so much pressure that the nucleus can combine into a new element releasing ungodly amounts of energy.

    D: magic probably.

    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.

    Once you realise the so called “sun” is really flat, the answer becomes obvious.

    They pipe the oxygen in from behind the sun.
