As I said, I really hope not. Doesn't really matter what hypothetical situation you talk about, if it involves another star being in or close to our solar system, it's gonna end badly for us.
I assume it would be very fast and painless if it just comes charging in.
Even if it comes in very fast, you're still talking about many months of forewarning, perhaps even many hundreds of years if it was a "normal" star instead of something like a brown dwarf.
I've been living in the solar system for awhile, and lemme tell you, that rating's pretty accurate. Now if only I could find the manager to make a complaint...
Our sun developed in a big cloud together with a whole family of other stars. They all share the same composition. They've tracked most of them. The closest is relatively close by and just a bit heavier than ours.
The article "the" in "the solar system" means that we are talking about one specific solar system. It's left for the reader to decide which one should be assumed, but in this case it's actually clear that ours is meant.
That means, it's clear that the meme is talking about our solar system, not some other solar system somewhere nor some bunch of solar systems.
In the shire of Middle Earthworld of Watersun, Kevin Costner -I might not be able to carry the ring, Mr. Frodo- and Kevin Costner -but I can carry you!- join Kevin Costner -One does not simple walk into Mordor-, along with the help of Kevin Costner -They're taking the hobbits to Isengard-, and Kevin Costner -Brego?-, joined by Kevin Costner -And my axe!-, lead by Kevin Costner -Fly, you fools-, against Kevin Costner -Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys-
We should never forget the hydrogen Bob that ended the beautiful country of Samholy, that famous Samholian country just 2 miles west of SanDiego's Petco Parker. One cup of pure water contains more than enough hydrogen to do that and more. Samholy, ah yes the beautiful country of Samholy.

I assume it would be very fast and painless if it just comes charging in.
But I suppose if it just saunters by slowly and pulls us out of our usual orbit, maybe we have a few days or weeks of mass confusion and suffering?

But there are more hydrogen atoms in that star than there are in Earth's water!
And hydrogen plus oxygen plus energy equals water...
So if we oxygenate the Sun...

more hydro than stars
