Panel 1: A narrator's voice begins, "The Sun has risen. Its golden orb quietly—" The Sun, depicted with a grumpy face, interrupts with, "EXCUSE ME, I do not 'rise.'"
Panel 2: The Sun, now with an angry expression, shouts, "You all revolve around me!"
Panel 3: The Sun continues, "Without me, you idiots would all be DEAD!" The background remains a clear blue sky with mountains in the distance and people looking at the sun.
Panel 4: The narrator's voice resumes, "The Sun, a narcissistic asshole, has risen." The Sun glares down at the tiny people below shooting sunrays. The people flee.

Why does the sun have shading/a shadow? 🤔

If you stare at it long enough it will actually get dark. The elites don't want you to know this.

Sorta, but the sunrise/set are due predominantly to the rotation of the earth about its axis, not the revolution about the sun.

Plus the sun doesn't care. It's there... fissionating. Why would it take that antroprocentric view? H and He are the Sun's thing, not C or O.

I know it’s quite the sidebar, but I sometimes think about if there’s any mental roadblocks we have in sciences or other understandings of things because we’ve named them something erroneously enough that our minds have a hard time undoing it, and “sunrise” and “sunset” were the words that made me originally think of this.
Like iirc there’s an emerging idea that our minds are not one consciousness but two minds in one brain a bit silod from one another; your thoughts come from one and actions from another, but it’s a hard idea to explore because it involves dissecting how we think of ourselves as one being/mind/consciousness.
