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.
Turritopsis dohrnii would like to have a chat.
A necessary evil
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.
Oh yeah, reactive oxygen species, right? But iirc those are only confined to certain parts of the cell
Just eat enough antioxidants to flush all of the oxygen out of your body!
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"
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!
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!<
Have you tried doing it in Rust?
nah, i do tea
In rust we trust!
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.
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.
Be sure to drink plenty of Coke to dissolve the rust your body builds up from breathing!
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.
Wait until OP learns about dihydrogen-monoxide.
If oxidation didn't happen, you'd suffocate. 😌
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...
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.
Holding my breath from now on.
That's why breathing pure oxygen is bad idea
So I know it's a joke, but isn't this why dietary antioxidants are good for you, is because they literally help inhibit the oxidation of your body?
Oxygen ravages electrons all day at the end of the electron transport chain and nobody bats an eye, but you steal one pair off some DNA and everybody loses their minds!
Also pure oxygen is bad long term
Oxygen is one of the most reactive gases. It can burn iron at 100°C.
It can burn diamond at 720 °C, what do you think it'll do to soft tissue over the course of an entire lifetime. Things helping aerobic life survive are
a) partially consisting of partially oxidized polymers in the form of carbohydrates (remember, the only thing that cannot burn is what has already been burned);
b) oxygen's peculiar, natural triplet state which greatly slows down its kinetics compared e.g. to its horrible relative, ozone.
This but unitronically
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!
I thought this will somehow relate to rust programming language
What oxygen does to your lungs is what Rust does to your brain
Just iron try to protect life from Cyanobacteria. The war is over, but it fights on.
Makes me think of the DHMO awareness campaign
Linking to this got me permanently banned from the entire Libera IRC network, apparently because a random snowflake mod also happened to be named Walter and decided it was a personal attack.
I mean it's not wrong, there's a reason antioxidants are a thing.
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
Oxygen toxicity is an iatrogenic illness caused by exposure to high FIO2 during oxygen therapy. Oxygen saturation should be monitored in patients receiving supplemental O2. As the oxygen gets metabolized, some molecules convert to superoxide anions known as hydroxyl radicals, which are human tissue toxic. The resulting pathophysiological changes at the alveolar level result in decreases in lung compliance, diffusing capacity, and PaO2 levels. Central nervous system (CNS) toxicity can occur with exposure to high partial pressures of oxygen. Acute changes in the lungs resulting from oxygen toxicity consist of alveolar and interstitial edema, alveolar hemorrhages, and proteinaceous exudates. Further prolonged exposure to oxygen leads to a proliferative phase, which includes the proliferation of type II epithelial cells and fibroblasts, followed by collagen deposits. Exposure to FIO2s greater than 0.60 for as little as 24 to 48 hours can lead to severe irreversible pulmonary fibrosis.[6][7]
uhhh, get ozoned?
Oxygen is one of the key components of dihydrogen monoxide, and we all know how dangerous that stuff can be.
Wait until they hear about a particularly nasty form of oxygen, dihydrogen monoxide.
I prefer the IUPAC name: Oxidane. Terrible stuff, it's even used as an industrial solvent and yet we are exposed to it every single day of our lives!
Ask Willjum about it.
