We'll be gone a long time before that.

A bitchy trampoline might invite some ultra wealthy aliens to watch it burn, though.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

Is that a doctor who reference?

You're lucky, that was the only non 1976 doctor who episode I watched

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Why would S1E2 of Doctor Who (2005) be the only episode you watched? That seems weird to me.

But, I personally wasn’t the biggest fan of Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor. He did a fantastic job, but David Tennent had so much more energy and flare. Him and Katherine Tate’s Doctor + Companion in Season 4 was comedic genius.

I can’t speak to the last two Doctors they’ve had, but up until then, the series is simply fantastic. And, they go out of their way to pay homage to the original Doctors many times over. Probably even in ways I’ve never noticed because I’ve not watched the original Doctor Who.

Alright, it was a slight exaggeration. I watched episode 1 of the same series too.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I’d strongly recommend powering through. Though I guess you could skip season 1 if you wanted. You’d miss a few references, but IIRC, nothing major. It does get better.

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

Nice try sunny, but we’re on track to offing ourselves way before that.

[-] tate 5 points 2 months ago

But ironically, the main way we're trying is by ruining our planet's ability to protect us from the Sun.

...other than nuclear war.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 2 months ago

Which is odd bc chemistry does not work that way - probably a consequence of calling it "global warming" in bygone eras.

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 14 points 2 months ago

Joke's on you, sun, we'll make this planet inhospitable long before you can get us!

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Well, the Sun's going to be the thing making it inhospitable, just not due to "dying"

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Not if we kill ourselves first!

[-] tvarog_smetana@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

The first time I learned about this as a wee lad, I was genuinely Concerned

[-] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 2 points 2 months ago

Remembers me of where my sis told me as a child that "the sun will explode" and we got staring at it with those cardboard glasses. It didn't and i was disapointed. Learned later that it was meant to be sun coronae.

It giveth and it taketh. Honestly pretty fair, I think we get a good deal here.

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Don't wait, fuck

[Outer Wilds cycle end music intensifies]

[-] Yor@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Looking forward to it!

[-] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Outer solar system: Try me, bitch.

[-] macaroni1556@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Outer solar system becomes inner solar system. The king is dead all hail the new king!

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago
[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago

Joke's on you, Sun. We can just leave. Or maybe even fix you.

(So many doomer "we'll kill ourselves first" responses in this thread. How science of everyone.)

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

We can just dump some comet ice into the oceans and cool Earth off. And if it gets really bad, we'll just get all the robots on one side of the earth and hit the gas at the right moment, thus increasing the distance from the sun.

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

How science of everyone

For 50 years, science has been telling us that we're well and truly fucked if we don't do something about climate change. We didn't. I don't think the species is gonna die out (thought millions of other species will and are). You're talking like we're gonna be building a Dyson sphere (or swarm) in the next 20 years? Or colonize outer planets? It's science fiction...at least for next few 100 years. We can't rely on a deus ex machina save...we gotta take care of the planet we evolved to live on...if we aren't strong enough for that, I don't think we're getting anywhere near K-II.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 0 points 2 months ago

You're talking like we're gonna be building a Dyson sphere (or swarm) in the next 20 years?

Hardly. We have plenty of time for that, there's no rush.

Or colonize outer planets? It's science fiction...at least for next few 100 years.

Again, a few hundred years is nothing. The sun won't become problematic for a few hundred million years.

We can't rely on a deus ex machina save.

Things like Dyson swarms and star lifting are not "deus ex machina", they're scientifically rigorous proposals.

if we aren't strong enough for that, I don't think we're getting anywhere near K-II.

Getting to K-II means not needing the planet we evolved to live on.

[-] vga@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

We'll have a Dyson Sphere that's able to retrieve all of the energy of the supernova. The energy will be used in an hour to mine some crypto.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 2 months ago

This is fine meme.:-)

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Fuck you buddy, we're gonna cook ourselves first!

That'll teach ya...

[-] matmarspace@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

The music from The Outer Wilds starts playing 😅

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

And what a great funeral pire it will be.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

But not today

[-] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Even if we don't cause our own extinction, the sun is getting hotter as it ages and in approximately 1 billion years it will have gotten hot enough to render Earth uninhabitable for life as we know it.

Then, 3-4 billion years after that, it'll finish the job by most likely swallowing up 3 of the inner planets when it reaches the red giant phase of its life. Even the corpse of Earth will die.

[-] thefrankring@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Are there insurances for that?

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Boy, do I have a book to sell ya. I tell ya what, it's a real miracle, changed people's lives.

[-] thefrankring@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Holy insurance.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You won't though.

[-] unreasonabro@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Honestly I can't wait
