The stardust is a given. As for sunlight, all the energy including somewhat arguably geothermal (using the suns gravity to help form the earth and I guess radioactive material being formed by other stars) comes from the sun and gets converted into chemical energy you eat so you’re stardust animated by sunlight (mainly).
Also we’re chemical compounds, eating chemical compounds to produce more chemical compounds fighting off other chamical compounds to prevent them from converting our chemical compounds into their chemical compounds.
This is the meaning of life BTW
I’m a bunch of wave functions increasing entropy.
Meh that entropy was going to increase anyways, maybe just a little slower…
yeah it depends on the level. we are earthdust and eat earthstuff to stay alive. Go one out and its sun. go another and its maybe black holes or at the very least the big bang which could be one more iteration. maybe membrane at that point and vibrating strings and such.
True, sometimes as a joke when I’m meeting someone for the first time I’ll say “omg it’s been so live since I’ve seen you, like nearly 13.8 billion years since we met last”.
also, the continuous path from our mouth to our butthole is a glorified twisty straw
A twisty straw made out of stardust where we excrete the leftovers from our sunlight (chemical energy) extraction.
That’s why when doing high dives and such where you jump into water from a great height, you need to cross your legs and clench your asshole; if you hit the water wrong without doing so, you’ll shoot water up your pooper and out your mouth. 😌
Did you know that dogs cant look up?
Topologically, we’re just meat donuts
great name for a grindcore/death metal band
A straw and very fine sieve
I am what i eat and i eat enchiladas de mole con queso blanco y cebolla.
I like what you eat and you are what you eat so I like you.
All of humanity is powered by a massive fusion reactor.
I’m going to eat exclusively life from geothermal vents just to prove you wrong.
I don’t know how much but I’m sure at least some geothermal energy is due to tidal forces on the earth.
Which would make some of it technically lunar power.
How did the moon get there? Would it be there if there was no sun? It’s a shit argument I know but the moon and its mass is in some form due to the existence of the sun.
Tidal forces on earth are a combination of the moon and the sun’s gravity
Only when a moon orbits around a planet faster than the planet spin on its axis, then only will this moon transfers its orbital energy to the planet.
Our planet, by the means of tidal forces, transfers a small part of its rotating energy to the moon’s orbital energy.
… in this process most of the rotation energy lost by the Earth is converted to heat.so … you’re saying that earth will eventually slow down the spinning until its angular velocity equals that of the rotation of moon around earth?
That is accurate. However, there is also an effect from the Sun. I think the Sun will do it first, but I have not checked.
Take it further. You process energy and also also made of energy.
True statement. About equally true and useful as: you’re made out of shit and you eat shit to stay alive.
Dude, you eat shit to stay alive? Brother is the irl human centipede.
yeah and what’s crazy to think about is that we’re probably at a point where it took 4 billion years to go from bacteria to humans but it will probably take less than a few million years to settle most of the milky way.
But a few hundred to create our own mass extinction event
