Yeah, SpAce Hardware, off of Main and 1st?

If you find yourself drifting through nonlinear time or are informed that you are frozen, you have entered the event horizon. Light cannot escape the event horizon so anything you do past the threshold cannot be detected by observers. Rude gestures are expected but not encouraged.

Operating clock-based technology in the proximity of your new singularity may cause malfunctions, security issues, and potentially eldritch madness. Please do not send away teams. If you feel the urge to violently murder your crew, stop observing the singularity and seek medical attention.
December 29, 2025 at 5:04 PM
However, if you have followed these directions accurately, you should be observing your singularity now, consuming all mass ejected from the outer layers, and causing a matter stream to flow from the "small" star to feed our new black hole.

If you have a spaceship captained by a madman, dock now.

If the mass ejection was large, you will need to find a new binary star system. Feel free to continue to observe and poke at your new stellar nursery, as your host star should have blown itself to smithereens. Dwarf remnants are not unusual.

Wear proper eye protection.

At this point, we should expect our appliances to be vaporized, along w/ about 200K of our extension cords. Even if the ejection of mass is insufficient to create a new stellar nursery, we should expect total appliance loss.

Discard damaged extension cords: fire risk.

At this point, your primary stellar mass should have increased sufficiently, in combination with the runaway fusion reaction, to send the star supernova.

Our star should be quivering, as it is at the tipping point to where nuclear fission cannot sustain the stellar core against its own gravity.

Ensure all connections are tight on your ~1M 1AU extension cords. Given the potential for unexpected magnetic waves and interference, you may experience power spikes and lulls depending on the speed of electrons in the interstellar medium. Connect each appliance to a new surge protector.

...can now hit the runaway fusion stage. If time is a factor, another space heater set to "8" can be added. Do not use a power strip to power the heaters and the hair dryer together; this could cause your breaker to trip. Instead, find 3 separate outlets in your house on different fuses.
December 29, 2025 at 5:04 PM
The addition of either a hair dryer or another forced-air drying device can be used to begin blowing the coronal ejections of the small star toward our primary star, being coaxed into fission by the space heater. Our goal is to hit the mass tipping point where the now-small-and-hot-and-massive star
December 29, 2025 at 5:04 PM
it's advised to turn the heater up to roughly an "8" setting to encourage our new stellar mass to more rapidly consume its resources.

At this point, we need the mass to increase dramatically to short-circuit fission, so ideally we're targeting a binary system with a vestigial star twin we can eat.
December 29, 2025 at 5:04 PM
the heater should turn on in about 4-5 business years.

However it's strongly advised to not daisy chain extension cords across your living room, nevermind the dark, cold, empty, vacuous maw of insterstellar space.

Once the fission has sufficiently eaten the outer cold bits of the planet,

I think the heater causes the singularity. I'm assuming it's 3ft away from a very large and tenuously stable mass, and the addition of the space heater might be the heat required to tip it into nuclear fission. Now, assuming your extension cord is about 1AU long, and you have about 300K of them,

yeah hey if anybody's free can you take a look at this SQL query for me? it's slow and I... can't be bothered

Yeah I've never done one but if I approached the speed of light I'd 100% one and come home to find the twin brother I don't have died without ever having 100%'d one

Ping this thread or DM if you have questions. I have noticed so few problems that this is a very comfortable recommendation to give. There will be quirks, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Also there's a million guides and also duck.ai so I think you'll be sorted for people to answer Q's!
