No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I was 10 years old 30 years ago and the sun was exactly the same then as it is now.
Your friend is an idiot.
That's ... uh ... that's one hell of a LED. Who installed it? From where was this colossal diode purchased? Just, y'know, given the sun has 99.99% of the mass in the solar system, it would've taken quite the team. Ask him if it was illegal immigrants, 'terking the jerb' of galactic stupidity away from him and his peer group!
Time for a new friend.
Iโm stupid because Iโm younger than him and vaccinated.
Your friend is not for taking seriously.
How does the atmosphere and particles in it affect the color of the sun and other mysteries that are easily solved by Wikipedia. Warning contains a lot of science.
Here is another link to help your friend through their delusion.

Everyone knows the sun was not replaced with a giant LED.
LEDs give no heat. It was replaced with a giant halogen bulb.
LEDs produce about half their input energy in heat, with the other half being light. Incandescent bulbs output about 90% as heat and 10% as light.

Do not let your friend near any literature written by L Ron Hubbard.
Off his rocker.
Your friend is a moron.
You need to upgrade to a better friend.
Your friend is an idiot and if these are his sincerely held beliefs you should just assume everything he ever says is probably wrong.
The friend is right.
The sun has been an orange forever, while the moon is a lemon.
/s
He is clearly stupid if he believes that. Impressively so.
You need better friends. This one is a lost cause.
Ask him why it is orange?
We know why most flames are orange, we know why steel glows red, and for the same reason (and many others) we know that the sun is white, so what his is reasoning for it's orange color claims?
Also ask him why sunsets and sun rises are more orange, and if he doesn't know asj him what the color of the sky is and what color would you get if you combined all colors (white) and then removed the blue (you get yellow)
if sun was orange, it wouldn't be orange, it would be just precieved as regular white light, and new-orange would be even more oranger than what we know today
Shadow government repainted it. /j
