    Your body is essentially an oxidation reaction that it ponders its place in the universe.

    A slowly burning fire that pays taxes.

    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.

      It’s reported that many people who have died had varying amounts of oxygen in their bloodstream at the time of death.

    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”

    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.

    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.

    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).

      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.

    We joke but oxygen is a caustic poison and when it came on the scene, evolution practically had to start over
