a dying neutron star

A Black Dwarf is a thing, but not yet.

Edit: nope, White Dwarfs have a different evolution path.

Btw, what hapens with a pulsar after he's done pulsing?

maybe they should’ve been a little more tolerant if they didn’t want to engulfed by a giant ball of plasma

Can neutron stars die?

If cooling down counts as dying. They don't produce heat or have much activity at all

They're still neutron stars though. As far as we know the only ways for a neutron star to stop being a neutron star is for enough stuff to fall into them that they collapse into a black hole, two merge to become a black hole, or if they get eaten by a black hole. Otherwise neutron stars are just about the most stable things in the universe.

Interestingly enough, the inner Layers of a neutron star are commonly modeled to have a temperature of 0K, since the extreme density prevents thermal movements

Yes, if you throw them hard enough

Kase ,

I don't think I get it

Cethin ,

My guess is that it's an anti-joke. A dying neutron star will destroy anyone no matter what you can or can't digest.

Kusimulkku ,

Original joke was something specific to lactose intolerance, like milk or yogurt. This anti-joke just replaces it with something that would destroy them like that regardless of their lactose bigotry.

lactose bigotry.

How is it bigotry to be lactose intolerant when it's not a choice any individual can make? Being lactose tolerant isn't even a trait shared by half the world's adult population.

Kusimulkku ,

It's a joke about intolerance

Cethin ,

Tolerance of intolerance is intolerance!

Riven ,

I appreciate the deep layers of jokes lul.

Raxiel ,

I'll be fine, I took a lactase tablet twenty minutes ago.

Damn, I knew the moon was just a slice of cheese, but I didn't know that neutron stars were a dairy product, as well. The universe really hates lactose intolerant people.

Lactose fuels the universe.

It’s where the ‘lactic’ part of galactic comes from.

Jackie_meaiii OP ,

I'm galactose intolerant and I just eated 10 million stars and 10 quadrillion tons of space dust (my tummy hurts 🤧)

sunoc ,

Omg are you Sagittarius A* ?! Such an honor to meet you here!

Impound4017 ,

I got bloated now my tummy is defined with a Schwarzchild radius :(

Prunebutt ,

It's called "the milky way" for a reason.
