Your body is essentially an oxidation reaction that it ponders its place in the universe.
A slowly burning fire that pays taxes.
A slowly burning fire that pays taxes.
That’s poetry. Nicely done.
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.
A necessary evil
Anaerobes have entered the chat
They don’t breathe oxygen and still die though
I breathe oxygen, I’ve never died
All current living creatures are basically a rounding error in that calculation
Jeez, imagine coding in rust, that can’t be good for you.
Holding my breath from now on.
Be sure to drink plenty of Coke to dissolve the rust your body builds up from breathing!
Is Pepsi okay?
is local store cola okay?
I had one of those local boutique sodas the other day and their coke knockoff was nasty. Tasted like old grandma candy.
ew, an American.
C’mere I’ll give you my diabetes
walk across the ocean and most of Europe then.
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.
Isn’t it the opposite? Soda would be bitter AF cause of the caffeine and the carbonic acid is added to give it the fizz, then they dump a ton of high fructose corn syrup in.
The carbonic acid is for the fizz, yeah. The sulfuric and phosphoric acids are to regulate sweetness. Sodas are syrups that get diluted with water hence the need for all that sugar.
No, it’s too sweet because big soda brands are targeting Americans first and Americans just love too much sugar in all foods. There are plenty of non American sodas in Europe and they have only a fraction of sweetness.
Interesting, what’s a common one that the average person would consider good?
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!
I bet you sheeple also drink dihydrogen monoxide every day!
That’s why breathing pure oxygen is bad idea
Jeez man this oxygen addiction is too great cant withstand 30 seconds without oxygen
I can do at least 45 seconds up to a full minute.
We joke but oxygen is a caustic poison and when it came on the scene, evolution practically had to start over
there are three constants in life.
taxes, rule 34, And oxidation.
the fact that I made a rule 34 joke about this without even seeing this comment is so great
great minds think alike, or something.
Wait until OP learns about dihydrogen-monoxide.
Yes. Oxygen does degrade our bodies. Unfortunately, we also need it to stay alive. Life be like that.
It’s reported that 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
This isn’t wrong. Don’t put oxygen on a pedastal, it’s toxic stuff.
I mean, it wouldn’t stay on the pedestal anyway. It would just float away.
That’s just lack of creativity from your part.
The OP didn’t say the composition of the pedestal, if it has cavities, its temperature…
It won’t float away if you freeze it first, of course it will sublimate away but not all at once.
Edit: Melts, doesn’t sublimate, still won’t melt all at once though.
At atmospheric pressure it wouldn’t sublimate. It would just melt, then boil.
Good point, though it still won’t melt all at once though it takes time to melt and boil (not much time but still takes time).
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.
