Wind turbines are fanning the flames and keeping it hot.
space contains all of the oxygen
they're actually was oxygen in space but they used it all as fuel for the stars and since then they've been converting them to electric.
secondary fun fact: burning all the oxygen in space as fuel has caused space to heat up and is what's leading to the imminent "heat death" of the universe.
After it gets dark, they refill it with lighter fluid. Every morning they light it fresh with a big ‘ole Zippo.
Because it isn't burning, it's exploding like a very big big big stick of TNT that's going off veeeeeery slowly
it must be the poop bear
This is an often misunderstood aspect of the sun. The sun doesn't need to pull oxygen into itself to burn. It just does a bit of fusion magic!
When a star is dense enough it starts to fuse Helium together through a process called the "triple alpha process"; which results in Carbon! From there it's pretty direct for the star to fuse one more Helium to the Carbon via stellar nucleosynthesis to create Oxygen!
So you see, the Sun doesn't need to draw Oxygen from space. It just makes its own!
Hello friend
There is oxygen in space, it's just a different type of oxygen that we can't see
You guys can see oxygen?
it's flaming because of all the gay
Because there isn't enough water to put it out
The sun burns differently, it's burning generates the oxygen it needs to burn, its a perpetual motion machine
The sun can also use souls as a comburant. It's kept alight by the stores of sacrifices it's accumulated over time. But sacrifices aren't as common and the stocks are running down... Thankfully, there are some secret organisations handling this problem.
*the Illuminati "stay where you are"
it's hot.
Am I the only one who can't watch his shows or movies because he's so unsettling and odd looking?

You are all mad! The sun is definitely getting oxygen! The giant space bellows hide just out of sight on the precisely opposite side of the sun from earth, so we've never been able to observe them.
Gringolth the oxidation wizard had been pumping them for millions of years. The biggest risk is that he dies before being replaced by an offspring!
