    If even a single solar cell makes it to America from Asia, the US will collapse.

    Because 3,402% isn’t quite enough but 3,404% would be going too far.

      no-choice We had no choice but to nuke the Sun for giving material support to Terrorist Cells.

        Surely nuking the Sun only makes it stronger?!

          No, it uses hydrogen as fuel. When it gets too many heavier elements then the energy produced from fusion pushing outward becomes less than the force of gravity pulling inwards. When that happens it explodes into a supernova or becomes a black hole if it’s too giga. Therefore giving it more heavy elements like the byproducts of nuclear fission would cause it to end its lifecycle faster. Infinitesimally small difference, perhaps less than if you just put a 45lb iron plate into a warhead and shot it into the sun.

            Sure, but I’d bet that negligible time shaved off its lifecycle is less than the energy added by the nuclear explosion. The increased energy and outward force may even increase its lifespan.

            That’s dependent on the nuclear pile going critical, which I assume it would, but actually working that out is… some ways beyond me, and highly depends on the missile design/explosion time/what you count as “increasing sun energy” versus “exploding next to the Sun”, I guess.

      “Mr. President - US tariffs are as high as about 3,400% on solar cells from Southeast Asia. But now you’re saying—”

      “Excuse me, excuse me. You are the lying fake news media.”

      “I… I don’t understand.”

      “I know you don’t understand - lying fake news media. 3,40 and 3 percent.”

      “Ah. But now you’re saying you’re going to double that? We’re trying to get clarity.”

      “Yeah, double. So 9,80 and 6 percent.”
