Rust is so dangerous it has even infected computers and several programmers’ brains
I know this is a joke but it also kinda isn’t, we are all constantly dying because of oxygen we literally die of old age because our bodies kill themselves so Oxygen doesn’t kill us earlier, well that’s not entirely true it’s also because of cancer but close enough.
Tried to hold my breath but couldn’t for long.
You must be really addicted. Some people slowly wean off it with a belt.
There are chemicals that can make it so your blood stops reacting with oxygen but big pharma doesnt want you to take them and sometimes doctors even force people to take drugs to counteract them
Oxygen makes up a full third of dihydrogen monoxide which kills thousands of people a year.
It’s well over a third by mass…
Doesn’t matter, I’m not Christian
Unironically, oxidative stress shortens your telomeres and therefore, your lifespan.
100% of people who breathe this die.
100% of people
who breathe thisdie.I happen to know multiple people who haven’t died.
But they will, eventually. Even if only at the heat death of the universe.
This is why antioxidants are good, right? /s
I don’t know why you’re adding /s to a literal fact. Yes age is a form of cellular oxidation, yes that’s why anti-oxidants are said to prevent/slow aging:
Ooh no no nooo
We’re not the first organisms to alter the atmosphere and cause a mass extinction. The first ones were cyanobacteria and the gas they released was oxygen. They caused
a decrease in the size of the biosphere of >80%
We’re descended from the survivors that adapted to a high-oxygen environment but to this day there are many microorganisms that die if exposed to even small amounts of oxygen.
When oxygen was first released during the great oxygenation event, it killed all other life on earth.
