The more I learn about the sun, the more I realize those ancient civilizations who worshipped it got it right. Look at that thing it’s fucking huge, scary, and it’s like right there.

and like a millionth the size of betelgeuse

Yes, but it looks bigger because it’s much closer

I can say that about my finger tip too. Larger than everything. Also dangerous, really hurts when poking my eye a little too hard.

No, they were just superstitious, they did not know how huge the sun was.

But we know now so ALL HAIL THE SUN GOD!!!
