      Replacing Jupiter with an equally massive black hole shouldn’t make a difference. We’d only have one bright dot less in the night sky.

        Except squid aliens will develop a way to move it and annihilate several planets on its way to Super Earth. RIP Angel’s Venture.

        (This is currently happening in helldivers 2, we turned a super bug infested planet into a black hole and now the illuminate are steering it towards earth)

      The sun is debatable, since I think we already use it’s photons both for photosynthesis in plants, heat (although we could get infrared warmth from the hole) as well as other benefits

      Why shouldn’t we holify Jupiter? It would be a testament to our technological progress as well as helping us study black holes "close"ish by rather than in labs

        Sometimes our technological progress makes us do things we think are a good idea at the time. Then like years, decades, centuries, millennia later we realize it was not such a good idea after all.
