Corona virus

And yet again I'm reminded why the quote notification system on this site is woefully fucking inadequate.

^ pisses me off every time.


Why does this need two threads btw?

Do I need to fire more torpedoes or did the ship already sink to the bottom of the ocean?

Like stated earlier, never awaken dragons.

Why did I get kicked out of BLOW during the summer of 2017? Eagerly awaiting your response, charan !!! Time to throw your cards on the fuckin' table. I am callin you out or do you fear the sunlight?

It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'sun' is.

A quick wiki pull


The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. Its diameter is about 1.39 million kilometers (864,000 miles), or 109 times that of Earth, and its mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth. It accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. Roughly three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen (~73%); the rest is mostly helium (~25%), with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron.

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on its spectral class. As such, it is informally and not completely accurately referred to as a yellow dwarf (its light is closer to white than yellow). It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of matter within a region of a large molecular cloud. Most of this matter gathered in the center, whereas the rest flattened into an orbiting disk that became the Solar System. The central mass became so hot and dense that it eventually initiated nuclear fusion in its core. It is thought that almost all stars form by this process.

The Sun currently fuses about 600 million tons of hydrogen into helium every second, converting 4 million tons of matter into energy every second as a result. This energy, which can take between 10,000 and 170,000 years to escape from its core, is the source of the Sun's light and heat. When hydrogen fusion in its core has diminished to the point at which the Sun is no longer in hydrostatic equilibrium, its core will undergo a marked increase in density and temperature while its outer layers expand, eventually transforming the Sun into a red giant. It is calculated that the Sun will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of Mercury and Venus, and render Earth uninhabitable – but not for about five billion years. After this, it will shed its outer layers and become a dense type of cooling star known as a white dwarf, and no longer produce energy by fusion, but still glow and give off heat from its previous fusion.

The enormous effect of the Sun on Earth has been recognized since prehistoric times, and the Sun has been regarded by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Earth and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the predominant calendar in use today.

Yes, it's very scary. I use Corona as an excuse to talk about how terrible life is. All my friends (lol) agree it's terrifying. We cry together every night. And, we have already bought all the toilet paper to last us for 25 years. Further, I'm considering hiring a bodyguard to keep that damn virus out of my sight! Yeaaaahhh.

That's not what you meant when you said it.

Honestly what do you mean?

I just want to know the truth (see the light), that is basically it.

Charan kicked me out of the guild while I was in Africa and I want to know why.

My admittedly obscure joke was that if Charan and I were each asked to point to where the truth comes from, we wouldn't be pointing in the same direction. Different suns, so to speak.
