I am looking really hard to find the humour in this because you canNOT
be serious.


There is no humor. It's going to run out of hydrogen eventually. But I
guess that that's so far in the future that you don't care what generation
gets saddled with the problem.

No problem. After the hydrogen is consumed, it will burn helium, for a
while. The real problem will be when it becomes a red giant and expands to
a size somewhat larger than the Earth's orbit. You'd better hope they've
come out with SPF 1E+12 sun screen when that happens.
