Earth gets no energy from the sun

It's a common misconception, but we don't.  Think about it.  If we were constantly getting net energy from the sun, three billion plus years of it would have more or less melted the surface of the planet.  All heat energy we get is released on the dark side of the earth as higher-entropy IR radiation.  The earth's distance from the sun (amongst other things) defines the equilibrium tempurature.  But it's the low-entropy yellow light that we get from the sun that makes life possible.  All forms of life take higher-entropy intake and put it into a lower entropy state.  The result, however, is that we have to simultaniously output MORE entropy than we reduce.  Ultimately, this is via the IR light that leaves us at night.

Actually, this is not totally true. The true purpose of a troll is to incite anger and hate inside of a person, no matter how much they write. The length of a post, however, does carry some corrilation to the amount of emotion a person is going through, of course, as a person who is angry will try to either say something short like "fuck off" or long to try to express every bit of his anger and viewpoint. This is why the true way that a troll works is not in insulting someone, but confronting them with the unwavering certainty that their viewpoint is retarded. This way the person will feel inwardly insulted and feel that in order to avoid appearing like a weakling, and in an attempt to look like the Alpha Male that every person thinks they can be on the internet reguardless of how horrid, fat, ugly, and dumb they are in real life, they end up trying to qualify every bit of their viewpoint as valid. This is where the long posts come in, and why people who are trolled often respond with long posts. However, as I mentioned earlier, this is not the only indicator that a person has been trolled, or that a troll has done their job correctly. Negative emotion is the only currency for trolls. In this line, it is often useful to write a little more than one line. Either in an attempt to avoid looking like a troll, or in an attempt to insult someone on several different fronts, making them feel more strongly in defending themselves. Sometimes, just a one line troll will easily be ignored or brushed off as retarded. Writing a little bit more can make sure you're movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air. I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said "fresh" and it had dice in the mirror. If anything, I could say this cab was rare, but I thought 'naw, forget it' "yo home, to Bel-Air". I pulled up to the house around seven or eight, and said to the cabbie "yo homes, smell you later". I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to reign on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air.
