The human body generates heat at a rate significantly higher than an equal volume of the Sun.

@freemo A photon created by fusion in the centre of the sun takes a million years to the surface of the sun!
(I learnt that by watching Harald Lesch. That's our Neil deGrasse Tyson)

@commandelicious Well to be fair it would never make it to the surface of the sun. It would be absorbed and reemmited countless times before that energy hand a chance to make its way out :)

@nerthos Yea Though the output of heat of any object is always directly proportional to the rate of fuel you use. Everything is 100% efficient at producing heat (well really a little less if you dont count light as heat, but usually light, or at least IR, is considered heat).

@freemo

And the next thing you know, we're blowing up the sun and the machines have us plugged in with needles in the back of our necks...
