Sun rule

I like that the sun serves us many of our god tropes.

• It hurts to look directly at Helios.
• Helios beams us life-giving energy consistently, day to day, year-to-year epoch-to-epoch.
• A very long time ago Helios burped (CME) and toasted all the surface life. No one knows what made Helios so upset or if They'll do it again. (small CMEs are common and give us Aura Borealis. One during the telegraph age might cook our satellite arrays if it recurs.)
• In contrast to Helios, the rest of the solar system is about th3 size of a blood draw. The earth is a smear on a microscope slide.
• Spend too long in the presence of Helios and we get burned. We cant survive more than seconds in the unprotected presence of Helios.
• Without Helios, we'd quickly freeze and die.

I give the sun a stern staredown every morning just to keep it in its place.

I used to stare at the sun when I was a kid. Now I have visual snow syndrome. Don't know if it's related, but sunlight for long periods of time definitely aggrevates it.

look, the last time i tried to make eye contact i couldn't see for like, 10 minutes

Hmm, I am gonna look into it

Oh you’re allowed to. You just won’t like the consequences thereof.

I did question it. Then I decided my eyes are more comfortable if I don’t look at the sun

We (in the US) had a president that questioned this on live television. So brave.
