    Our bodies have multiple enzymes and antioxidants to keep oxygen from slowly killing us. And this guy wants to concentrate it. Hyperbaric has its uses, making a normal person live longer is not one of them.

      I remember seeing a meme about what alien life might be like and they say “what do you mean all life on Earth breathes rocket fuel???”

      It was a complicated time when life switched to oxygen. We still have life without oxygen btw (mostly in the depths). But those damn plants fucked up a good life for everyone back then.

          90% sounds about right. We’re two legged supports for our bacteria. Without us it would take them ages to go places. That’s why we shit at least once a day. Toilets are our bacteria’s malediction.

          Also you have to breathe more from the belly.

          Edit: those lazy oxygen deniers are squatting the guts of all the land dwelling animals, as it protects them against the new (relatively) toxic atmosphere. We should probably encourage them to face their fear and discover the world. Diarrhoea for all, that’s what I say!
