Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Or you could just shoot at it, Florida-style.

No thanks I rather not live in endless darkness. Remember the Sun produces warmth. Do you want to live in never ending dark and cold? Where nothing grows? 😢

But we've got to do something about global warming. Nuke the Sun!

Nope I’m against nuking the Sun 😛

Rather strange to hear from the Sun Goddess herself.

Why is it strange? I’m for the Sun, others are talking about getting rid of it. I want the Sun. Give me that sunshine goodness that makes me happy. I swear I must’ve been a flower in my previous life because whenever the Sun shines on me. I stop, turn my head in the direction of the light and just bathe in the warmth. Sun = good! So not sure why you’re saying it’s rather strange??? I think you might’ve incorrectly read what I wrote above

Oh my gosh. Forgive my insolence oh mighty Goddess of the Sun.

I have indeed misread your comment and this have made a fool on myself and insulted you.

I have clearly not had enough sun today. I apologise and pray for your forgiveness.

Because you apologised, I’ve decided that you are forgiven this time. Hopefully you’ll get a chance for more Sun time in the future. Have a brilliant evening. ☀️
