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
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"
Wait a minute, something feels off...
I googled this and that's enough internet for today.
Just eat enough antioxidants to flush all of the oxygen out of your body!
Jeez, imagine coding in rust, that can't be good for you.
If you think that is bad, just wait til you learn about Dihydrogen Monoxide. That shit kills.
Stop downplaying it, call it by its most descriptive name:
Hydric acid
100% of the people who drink dihydrogen monoxide eventually end up dying. Shit's dangerous
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
I bet you sheeple also drink dihydrogen monoxide every day!
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!<
Be sure to drink plenty of Coke to dissolve the rust your body builds up from breathing!
Not just drink, inhale.
We joke but oxygen is a caustic poison and when it came on the scene, evolution practically had to start over
Isn't that there one of them... "forever chemicals"? 😂
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.
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.
Jeez man this oxygen addiction is too great cant withstand 30 seconds without oxygen
I can do at least 45 seconds up to a full minute.
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.
It's true. The medical field over the last few decades has curbed when to give patients high flow concentrated oxygen for this reason.
Holding my breath from now on.
That's why breathing pure oxygen is bad idea
Wait until OP learns about dihydrogen-monoxide.
Sodium is a dangerous explosive, choride is a poisonous gas, yet we put the mixture of two into our food.
Raise awareness of sodium-cloride!
This but unitronically
Oxidative stress is a major factor in health and longevity. People who stop breathing oxygen before dieing generally live a bigger proportion of their lives healthy on average.
It's true my friend works with it and their hair went blue
