Every creature that had ever breathed oxygen, dies. That's a 100% mortality rate.

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

A slowly burning fire that pays taxes.

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

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"

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.

there are three constants in life.

taxes, rule 34, And oxidation.

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!<

I bet you sheeple also drink dihydrogen monoxide every day!

Be sure to drink plenty of Coke to dissolve the rust your body builds up from breathing!

We joke but oxygen is a caustic poison and when it came on the scene, evolution practically had to start over

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxidation_Event

If oxidation didn't happen, you'd suffocate. 😌

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

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

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

That's why breathing pure oxygen is bad idea

Isn't that there one of them... "forever chemicals"? 😂

Holding my breath from now on.

Wait until OP learns about dihydrogen-monoxide.

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!

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

This but unitronically

Just iron try to protect life from Cyanobacteria. The war is over, but it fights on.

Makes me think of the DHMO awareness campaign

I thought this will somehow relate to rust programming language

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
