    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.

    Your body is essentially an oxidation reaction that it ponders its place in the universe.

    Yes. Oxygen does degrade our bodies. Unfortunately, we also need it to stay alive. Life be like that.

      It’s reported 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

    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”

        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.

    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.

        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.

    This isn’t wrong. Don’t put oxygen on a pedastal, it’s toxic stuff.

    source
    • WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I mean, it wouldn’t stay on the pedestal anyway. It would just float away.

      source
      • Draconic_NEO@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It won’t float away if you freeze it first, of course it will sublimate away but not all at once.

        That’s just lack of creativity from your part.

    I read some comment (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 free radicals and our burning up on a cellular level, albiet over the course of our lifetimes

    source
    • ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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. If you happen to have a good laymans source laying around already i could use a refresher. I mustve used the wrong search terms cuz i keep getting bunk ass health scam sites

      It’s true. The medical field over the last few decades has curbed when to give patients high flow concentrated oxygen for this reason.

    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!

    Oxygen is one of the most reactive gases. It can burn iron at 100°C.

    • PrimeMinisterKeyes@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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.
