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.

If you think that is bad, just wait til you learn about Dihydrogen Monoxide. That shit kills.

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!

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

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

Jeez man this oxygen addiction is too great cant withstand 30 seconds without oxygen

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. 😌

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

Wait until OP learns about dihydrogen-monoxide.

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?

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

Holding my breath from now on.

That's why breathing pure oxygen is bad idea

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

I thought this will somehow relate to rust programming language

Makes me think of the DHMO awareness campaign

I mean it's not wrong, there's a reason antioxidants are a thing.

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

Oxygen toxicity is an iatrogenic illness caused by exposure to high FIO2 during oxygen therapy. Oxygen saturation should be monitored in patients receiving supplemental O2. As the oxygen gets metabolized, some molecules convert to superoxide anions known as hydroxyl radicals, which are human tissue toxic. The resulting pathophysiological changes at the alveolar level result in decreases in lung compliance, diffusing capacity, and PaO2 levels. Central nervous system (CNS) toxicity can occur with exposure to high partial pressures of oxygen. Acute changes in the lungs resulting from oxygen toxicity consist of alveolar and interstitial edema, alveolar hemorrhages, and proteinaceous exudates. Further prolonged exposure to oxygen leads to a proliferative phase, which includes the proliferation of type II epithelial cells and fibroblasts, followed by collagen deposits. Exposure to FIO2s greater than 0.60 for as little as 24 to 48 hours can lead to severe irreversible pulmonary fibrosis.[6][7]
