If other stars burn out, than will the sun burn out too? - Lemmy.World

If you think about it, our planets were made from the ashes of a nebula, which is a dead star. But that took hundreds of years. Will our sun burn out too, or do I just need to find a hobby?

You should find a new hobby like googling because it would tell you the sun will burn out in ~5 billion years

Questions are a good thing and preferring to get answers from humans instead of machines is a good instinct. Less harshness and more humanity makes the fediverse a better place.

The correct thing would have been to look it up and share the information with the fediverse, this is a basic fact question not a matter of opinion or discussion

This is just pure laziness.

I agree with the sentiment OP should have just googled this, but we dont know who this person is. what if they are a child? Who says basic questions arent allowed? am I missing something?

I’m neutral on this kind of question, I just don’t answer in the hopes someone else does and just move on

If they’re a child all the more reason for everyone to tell them to google stuff

A child won’t necessarily know how to filter the slop from actual correct info. At least in a forum you’ll more than likely have a bunch of voices stating the facts and a few stating untruths. Unless they’re asking for some arcane knowledge that only a dozen people on the planet understands they’re probably better off on a forum.
