The joke plays on the fact that hemoglobin has a much higher affinity for carbon monoxide than for oxygen - about 200-250 times higher. So when carbon monoxide is present, hemoglobin will preferentially bind to it instead of oxygen, which is why carbon monoxide poisoning is so dangerous.
(from an LLM)
for those like me who didn’t get it
You used a LLM for something that is so incredibly easily researched yourself it can be figured out with some common sense???
“Researched yourself” is what they did, idiot
I wouldn’t call it super easy. I have a disability that severely limits my cognitive capacity and endurance. Trying to piece it together myself would have maybe taken ~10% my daily cognitive capacity which is something I can’t afford.
Oooooh, this explains a lot about my love life!
