Actually,

There's no fire in the sun. Fire is some material oxidizing, and that's not what's happening (or at least not in relevant amounts). What creates the radiation is nuclear fusion.

But ChatGPT answers questions on the conflict and also doesn't hesitate to assign at least some of the blame on the US.

I'm pretty sure the reason for that is that the sun is actually mostly not hot enough to do nuclear fusion, but has to instead rely on quantum tunnelling. This makes the fusion rate much, much lower. Now while this is good, because otherwise, the sun would burn up far too quickly and kill all of us, it also explains the low power, or energy per time.

Actually a good point, tho. And also a good thought: If there is no special direction, what would be up? And that's where quantum mechanics gets even weirder: It's either up or down in the direction you measure.

The technical term you're looking for is "almost all" prime numbers. Not joking btw.

Gravity isn't a force tho...

Obviously, the apartment with the Confederate flag has a swastika inside.

USB plugs are spinors: They need a 4π rotation until they reach their initial orientation.

And it definitely looks it. That is, shitty.
