🧵 How do we improve stars?

Too many stars have an embarrassingly short lifespan despite being the most important celestial objects in our universe. They are the prime example of drowning in inefficiency.
Only the red dwarves seem to be smart enough to understand the need to be fully convective. Why can't the other spectral types even among the so-called dwarf stars (looking at you, G and F types) comprehend the fact that they have way more hydrogen and other fusible material outside of what they have in their cores? Doing it layer by layer is precisely what results in red giant/supergiant shithousery which is just assisted suicide by that point.
As for the O/B types, those guys might as well just be black hole factories. They don't even have the decency to blow up and recycle themselves and spread out all the heavy elements they produce, the greedy fuckers just eat all of it immediately. Fucking fatasses. This is not sustainable.

My man... We're struggling to not fuck up a single planet. Fixing a star is off the table for a very, very long time.

I know, but it is still something to strive for.

Forget interstellar travel, star lifting should be the main focus of civilizations that orbit a star at risk of going red giant. The rest of us might as well file a complaint with god in the afterlife (if he exists) about how stars are gas guzzlers.

Black holes are the ultimate stars, they are the opposite of greedy, they take all the heavy elements that would remain inert and decompose them into the base particles which enable new element formation

hold the fuck up, do they actually?

That's my hypothesis at least, it would explain why they evaporate, the materia absorbed gets ripped apart by the extreme forces until it enters a state, which is no longer governed by gravitational/atomic/electromagneti
