The Sun Is an Eldritch Abomination

The Sun being compared to a Lovecraftian deity is terrifying. The sun is probably the closest thing we'll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here- Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its billion children People used to sacrifice other people to appease it Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes dont talk or think about this please

A screenshot presents a humorous argument that the Sun resembles a Lovecraftian eldritch deity: it is ancient, blinding, cancer-causing, non-humanoid, surrounded by dead planets, historically worshipped through sacrifices, and seemingly screams through solar activity. The final plea not to think about it makes the cosmic-horror comparison even more absurd and is used as a reaction to unsettling existential thoughts.
