Salty water can dissolve and thus destroy a whole bunch of other chemicals… We’re lucky we evolved in an environment full of it so much that we are adapted to it!

Same with oxygen. Such a corrosive substance, but we evolved to slowly react with it internally.

reminds me of this tumblr meme :P
An image of a Tumblr post discussing that oxygen is a powerful chemical causing human aging by slowly burning up your cells. It is added that aliens might be afraid of humans as “death breathers” for breathing oxygen and living in an atmosphere of “rocket fuel”.

Classic!
Reminds me of a HFY (humanity fuck yeah) novel where somone got stranded on another planet and just by taking a dump, their gut biome turned the planet’s flora and fauna to shit by digesting it.
