What is the exact distance to which we actually have to give a shit? I'm genuinely curious if you happen to know.

Because people can understand when someone asks a question, what they're really trying to learn is sometimes is not the question they stated.

I also had the exact same interpretation of this question. I figured the person wanted to know what the odds of a local star going supernova was, because literally if that happened, it could bleach the earth clean of life.

So this answer is not unreasonable, but even if OP doesn't care about it, it doesn't hurt anybody. It was interesting for me to read anyway.

Be nice to people online. They are actual humans just like you. This person was just trying to contribute something helpful to the conversation, they didn't need to be attacked.
