Any r/theydidthemath refugees willing to calculate how long an essentially vantablack tarp would survive the light of the sun with absolutely no way to vent heat?

I've been saying this for eons. Blot out this eyesore and give us the void of black.
The moon's not the real issue here. We need to be thinking about how to block out the sun. And thirty thousand is rookie numbers
Astronomers everywhere rejoice
Cool
IT’S A TARP
But fr, I saw moon trap. And now I’m thinking, are we the moon’s trap?
The moon is part of us, we're use too insecure to allow it its independence.
Reminds me of that Adult Swim cartoon "Frisky Dingo" where Killface built the Annihilatrix engine to move the earth into the sun but accidentally fired it in the wrong direction solving climate change.
You can't fax glitter. You can't put coins in it. You can't ever go back to Arizona.
Would improve astronomy if we didn’t have so much light pollution
So that’s where my DOGE and tariff refund checks went.
Finally. The other three have been done for 80 years already.
I guess that we'll finally find out if werewolves are triggered by the light or the tidal pull.
obviously this would cause major problems irl, but it would be interesting to know what the actual effects would be, like environmentally. the gravity of the moon would be unaffected, but never getting light from the moon might fuck up a lot of the night time activities of animals.
Not any worse than what humans have already fucked up with our artificial light i imagine
This reads like some memetic SCP
It's already paid for by the moon!
Those lunatics!
Burialgoods has such a fine grasp on the dark absurdity of our society
Is this a plot to steal the cheese?
Shhh, don't mention it too loudly, they could h- *gets shot at his head*
The deaths were unrelated to the moon blanket
99.9954%
So... 10 times more black than it is today?
I sometimes think about how annoying a full moon would be if it's albedo was .3 like earth's.
Idunno, I would rather it be either bright enough to be useful, or dark enough to not bleach the entire night sky. Where it's at is the worst of both worlds
Where can I learn more?
Amongst the Starship Troopers.
i guess they needed something to do after neom went tits-up
Did they die because the tarp keeps igniting?
No they died because of the moon werewolves that we're trying to stop.
In what timeline has this not happened yet? They're behind schedule
