    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.

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

    A slowly burning fire that pays taxes.

    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”

        I’ve also heard that electrons in them cannot be relied upon - especially to be anywhere that they say they will (instead, they zip off to the other side of the whole galaxy/universe, then before you can tell anyone they’re gone, they are back again!) :-P.

      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.

    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

      Yeah it’s why we have antioxidants. The idea is oxygen is constantly stealing electrons from nearby molecules and antioxidants help replace those electrons.

      Life is just a constant form of slow death. Up until your body simply can’t replace the old cells fast enough anymore.

      It’s true. The medical field over the last few decades has curbed when to give patients high flow concentrated oxygen for this reason.

    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?
