      The sun hasn’t changed. We’ve just been spending decades altering the atmosphere to retain more heat. Now it’s like a boulder rolling down a hill, we gave it a push, and now that it’s rolling, getting it to even slow down is going to take a major effort.

        And the ocean has been an absolute champ at taking a bunch of that heat and hiding it away in the deep. But can’t really keep up any more. Which is fair.

        No thank you I’d rather the Sun just stop it with all this shining and heat and combustion. Just stop it and be cold. Can I order one ice planet please 🧊?

        Tap for spoiler

        I know it’s not the Sun’s fault but it’s so hot and I’m fat so I feel even hotter 🥵 🥵 🥵 🥵

    Some particles of light begin their journey in the Sun, then they travel for 8 - 9 minutes to Earth, only to end up blinding some ape as they’re hurdling down a stone road in a two ton explosion-powered locomotive.
