Every creature that had ever breathed oxygen, dies. That’s a 100% mortality rate.
Every creature that hadn’t breathed oxygen also dies. Can’t live with it can’t live without it.
A necessary evil
Anaerobes have entered the chat
They don’t breathe oxygen and still die though
I breathe oxygen, I’ve never died
All current living creatures are basically a rounding error in that calculation
Your body is essentially an oxidation reaction that it ponders its place in the universe.
A slowly burning fire that pays taxes.
A slowly burning fire that pays taxes.
That’s poetry. Nicely done.
Yes. Oxygen does degrade our bodies. Unfortunately, we also need it to stay alive. Life be like that.
It’s reported that many people who have died had varying amounts of oxygen in their bloodstream at the time of death.
Oh yeah, reactive oxygen species, right? But iirc those are only confined to certain parts of the cell
Rust on the Myrtle Beach ferris wheel has also been shown to reduce fertility levels of crabs nearby, causing a dramatic drop in their population and California Bill 34 was passed to drastically limit how many can be caught, devastating the local fisheries!
For more information, Google “Rust ferris crab rule 34”
Just eat enough antioxidants to flush all of the oxygen out of your body!
there are three constants in life.
taxes, rule 34, And oxidation.
the fact that I made a rule 34 joke about this without even seeing this comment is so great
great minds think alike, or something.
I bet you sheeple also drink dihydrogen monoxide every day!
Jeez, imagine coding in rust, that can’t be good for you.
HOW DARE YOU BAD MOUTH RUST LIKE THAT! Rust is natural, and isn’t anything bad. Let your body rust, and accept it’s warm embrace.
!/s!<
Have you tried doing it in Rust?
In rust we trust!
Seriously, though, when those blue-green fuckers came up with oxygenic photosynthesis and started shitting oxygen all over the place they killed practically everything else on the planet, the bastards. Paleontologists call it the Oxygen Catastrophe or Oxygen Holocaust.
Be sure to drink plenty of Coke to dissolve the rust your body builds up from breathing!
Is Pepsi okay?
This isn’t wrong. Don’t put oxygen on a pedastal, it’s toxic stuff.
I mean, it wouldn’t stay on the pedestal anyway. It would just float away.
That’s just lack of creativity from your part.
The OP didn’t say the composition of the pedestal, if it has cavities, its temperature…
It won’t float away if you freeze it first, of course it will sublimate away but not all at once.
Edit: Melts, doesn’t sublimate, still won’t melt all at once though.
At atmospheric pressure it wouldn’t sublimate. It would just melt, then boil.
Good point, though it still won’t melt all at once though it takes time to melt and boil (not much time but still takes time).
That’s why breathing pure oxygen is bad idea
I read some interesting comment before (so take it with a grain of salt) where someone who knew a bit of chemistry said, ‘in a way we actually are damaged by the oxygen we breathe’. Details foggy but they mentioned that’s kinda what free radicals are about, that we are burning up on a cellular level, albiet over the course of our lifetimes
Yeah it’s why we have antioxidants. The idea is oxygen is constantly stealing electrons from nearby molecules and antioxidants help replace those electrons.
Life is just a constant form of slow death. Up until your body simply can’t replace the old cells fast enough anymore.
Oh good i remembered it roughly right. you happen to have a good layman-friendly source just laying around? id love a refresher. I don’t usually outsource my searches but i mustve used the wrong terms earlier, cuz i keep getting bunk ass health scam sites
This website I found has a decent summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_stress
Hey, tyvm :)
We joke but oxygen is a caustic poison and when it came on the scene, evolution practically had to start over
