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
Turritopsis dohrnii would like to have a chat.
take it out of context right now
Damn you got me, was hoping no one mentioned the immortal jellyfishes. Though if you think about it eventually when the planet dies they’ll die as well
They also die when they get eaten.
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”
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.
its apparently safe
Prepare buckets of water for melted processors
Yeah, that is what “the government” tells 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 acid100% 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
great minds think alike, or something.
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?
nah, i do tea
In rust we trust!
Isn’t that there one of them… “forever chemicals”? 😂
Never trust atoms, they make up everything.
I’ve also heard that electrons in them cannot be relied upon - especially to be anywhere that they say they will (instead, they zip off to the other side of the whole galaxy/universe, then before you can tell anyone they’re gone, they are back again!) :-P.
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.
We joke but oxygen is a caustic poison and when it came on the scene, evolution practically had to start over
Be sure to drink plenty of Coke to dissolve the rust your body builds up from breathing!
Not just drink, inhale.
Is Pepsi okay?
is local store cola okay?
I had one of those local boutique sodas the other day and their coke knockoff was nasty. Tasted like old grandma candy.
ew, an American.
C’mere I’ll give you my diabetes
walk across the ocean and most of Europe then.
Check the label. Anything with sulfuric and phosphoric acid is good for rust removal. The reason why it’s in cola is simply because without it, it would be way too sweet from all the sugar.
Isn’t it the opposite? Soda would be bitter AF cause of the caffeine and the carbonic acid is added to give it the fizz, then they dump a ton of high fructose corn syrup in.
The carbonic acid is for the fizz, yeah. The sulfuric and phosphoric acids are to regulate sweetness. Sodas are syrups that get diluted with water hence the need for all that sugar.
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).
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 :)
This may be a good source for it: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25663961-how-not-to-die
The book is about food, but mostly it talks about oxidation of the body and how various foods affect that, because that seems to be the main factor for aging and other degradation of the body. (TL;dr: eat a lot of broccoli)
I’m not an expert though, so cannot judge how accurately the science is presented
Thanks, I’m not either so this will help me a ton. Thanks!
It’s true. The medical field over the last few decades has curbed when to give patients high flow concentrated oxygen for this reason.
