I think we're headed for an Orange Giant phase... not so good for living creatures.

Me too.

Reality is not collapsing it is just deflating perceptions.

doesn't even make a ton of gold like a real dying star

It’s making a ton of cancer, does that help?

ianscottmcgregor.bsky.social•72 days ago

had no idea dying stars made cancer that's crazy

sinfoid.bsky.social•72 days ago

Well I’m assuming, lots of radiation and the like. Though in actuality if you ever got close enough you’d be dead of all sorts of other things first.

ianscottmcgregor.bsky.social•72 days ago

ohhhhhh, for sure. ain't no spf for that.

Amusingly, most gold is made when two already dead stars collide and spray their rapid decay products across deep space. 🤓

Make of that societal metaphor, what you will.

Every day I make the sound of someone who just got punched in the gut, and lately it’s multiple times a day.

It's the bounce of the outer layers against the core that is the real brain mangler when a heavy star finally dies.

Not super keen on seeing the societal equiv TYVM

Watching reality pass the Chandrasekhar limit is what gets me up in the mornings
