How do you think that star-dimmer switch actually works?
| It's some sort of freaky alien magic, ... any sufficiently advanced comic technology is indistinguishable from magic. | 20 | 7% |  |
| Could it work by sending a cooling beam at the star?, ... or maybe it's injecting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are lowering Betelgeuse's inflammation? | 1 | 0% |  |
| It's actually not working, the aliens are staging a practical joke on another alien race, by setting up the prop star dimmer, ... it's the oldest con in the galaxy, ripping off less advanced civilizations by telling them you can prevent a supernova. | 44 | 15% |  |
| Betelgeuse is actually just the galaxy's biggest space heater, so the star dimmer works like a modern light dimmer, rapidly shutting the fusion reactions on and off to reduce the total amount of energy radiating from the star, ... luckily it's in space, so the buzzing coming from the dimmer isn't so bad. | 16 | 5% |  |
| Obviously, it's channeling cosmic rays through filaments of Nitrozanium, which increasing the substantial energy barrier of electrostatic forces within the atomic nuclei of the star, blocking quantum tunnelling, and nullifying the compressive effects of gravity, yet maintaining the confined environment, ... it's the same method Nitrozac uses to get Snaggy to make her a coffee. | 134 | 48% |  |
| My mind went dim, so I just viewed the results. | 60 | 21% |  |
