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!
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!
I bet you sheeple also drink dihydrogen monoxide every day!
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.
No, it’s too sweet because big soda brands are targeting Americans first and Americans just love too much sugar in all foods. There are plenty of non American sodas in Europe and they have only a fraction of sweetness.
Interesting, what’s a common one that the average person would consider good?
If oxidation didn’t happen, you’d suffocate. 😌
No you!
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.
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.
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.
