Mind = blown
^This
also, is this keanu reeves?
yes… yes it is.
^This
^ These
Air; not even once.
I will not breathe anymore.
Problem is, we’re so addicted already, withdrawal kills us even faster.
This.
This; and the one before.
Air actually is destructive in a sense that it creates free radicals, destroying DNA and producing the aging process that we can physically see.
Now wheres my smartass award?
Here you go, you’ve earned it.
STOP THAT! LEAVE ME BE!
haha! made me laugh pretty hard
This^ and also the one above it
already knew that.
I was about to write that… so signed!
OMG! You are exactly the type of person ….. I never ever want to sit opposite at a dinner party.
He is exactly the type of person I’d love to sit opposite to at a dinner party.
He is the type of person I do sit opposite the table.
He is exactly the type of person I would sit on at a dinner party.

So if we hold our breath long enough, will i not be killed fast enough?
anti-joke chicken
Was going to say that, but you win good sir!
Damnit, I was about to post this. Interestingly, if we could breathe pure nitrogen instead of oxygen there would be about 10% less cases of internal cancer (i.e. not skin cancer) every year.
There would actually be 100% less cancer.
there would be about 9001% more cases of people suffocating though
%age > 9000
interestingly enough he said “if we could breathe pure nitrogen
That would actually be oxygen which is a minority component of air.
Came here to say this (specifically: oxygen).
No it doesn’t. Respiration causes free radicals to form, not the oxygen itself.
Yeah, but it’s the properties of oxygen in the respiratory process that leads to free radical formation. If we could utilize a more stable element… actually, maybe not. Any oxidative reaction would probably throw off free radicals if you did it often enough.
Put another way: “Life is a terminal condition.”
I learned that from George Lopez! =D
without it we’d die in a minute anyway
Then we breath ironically.
Annoying hipster is annoying.
Annoying hipster spells “breathe” incorrectly.
Propper spelling is too mainstream.
^ WIN!
^ thise.
Aagh too many people are spelllign imporply. Now im just doing it to be irnoic.

Breathing is too mainstream.
no he spelt it right “we breath air” “you take my breathe away”
This is true, actually…
Oxygen is both corrosive and poisonous.
It’s only because it’s so reactive that we get so much energy from it.
was about to say that, main reason we age is oxygen.
Anti joke chicken:P
This is actually scientific fact. Oxygen is a poison. Look it up.
Anything can be a poison in high enough concentrations. Look it up.
already knew that
Charlie Sheen can be poisonous in ANY concentration, regardless of what you have. Shut him up.
A C-C-C-COMBOBREAKER can be a poison in high enough concentrations too.
So much win!
Concentration can be poisonous if being done constantly, causing a literal mind-blow. True story.
if the poison is concentrated enough then i lost the game OH F**K YOU INTERNETS!
only in sufficient quantity
Not the oxygen we breath. It’s not a high enough concentration to be toxic. Also, what JK said.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a byproduct of breathing and are toxic. A lot of toxicology research these days is about ROS generation and how cells deal with them. The concentration isn’t high enough for acute oxygen poisoning, but certainly is for chronic toxicity (aging). This is why anti-oxidants are considered good for you.
*goes out to buy anti-oxidants*
you are actually right, oxygen “ages” us
True that
mother of god…
I saw this on Reddit yesterday. my mind exploded.
4chan > Reddit > Membase/Tumblr . Facebook
Welcome to the internet
Oxygen releases free radicals, free radicals make us old.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_theory
TimeSplitter????
what does Keanu have to do with this???
I find Ted Theodore Logan’s “Whoa” to be a proper response after reading the statement.
who the hell is Ted Theodore Logan
^ That awkward moment when I realize I must be getting old.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Ted's_Excellent_Adventure
No, you’re not old. There needs to be a meme:
“If she doesn’t know who these two guys are *points to Bill and Ted* she’s too young for you.”
Im 16. . .in Africa. . .and I know about Bill and Ted.
What the hell is wrong with you? Banned from the internet.
*cough* Bill & Ted *cough*
I know who he is, I know that feel bro
Bill and Ted’s, EXCELLENT adventure!
EXCELLENT DILLYDEDEOWWWWW *air guitar*
Oxygen is toxic, we are just immune to it
Technically everything is toxic..
And no, we aren’t immune. In high concentrations it is toxic to humans.
If you consider us immune because we can handle it in smaller concentrations, then we’re immune to everything.
Nope, not immune. When our body use oxygen to produce energy, it also pruduce small amount of ”garbage” that it can’t eliminate. Thus, the cells stock those ”garbage” inside themselves until it kill’em.
Oxygen is poisonous, and your breathing is killing you. This isn’t a philosophical question, it’s a known fact.
That’s not what my biology book says. So citation needed..
dear god… what if we’re addicted to food.. and starving is actually just withdrawal symptoms..
What if the stars above are just the lights of the cameras to observe us. They don’t need stars in the cities – we have plenty of cameras for them to hack there already.
What if… we live in the Matrix? O_O
TOO… MANY… TROLLS!
*boom*

Does anyone have a sewing kit?
And i new brain…. i might need a new one….
what if airplanes in the night sky are shooting stars?
^Not this ;D
We eat food for the energy stored in bonds comprised of electrons. Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the ETC (electron transport chain) in the membrane of our mitochondrion, and enables our aerobic metabolism… However, oxygen accepting electrons forms radicals, that while short lived, wreak havoc on important structures in the vicinity. It does indeed poison us, to some extent.
Cool story, bro.
it’s true, wait until high school sophomore biology
hah we just did the ECT… nicely left out free radicals…. out of date book FTL….
tl;dr
Did anyone else read “Mitochondrion” as as “Midichlorian”?
This is true, its the reason why our DNA gets damaged, and thus the reason why we age. Oxygen is highly toxic, but we have partly adapted, but not completely.
Well, while it may be a factor, the body is much more complex than that- especially in terms of its capacity for healing. Aging is thought to be more primarily due to bits of our DNA called telomeres.
For thought, belief does not constitute reality.
Take the blue pill anyway. Virtual steak is good.
I WAS JUST LEARNING ABOUT THOSE IN BIOLOGY TODAY! | :-O
Virtual steaks in Biology? ..Weird.
no, I meant telomemeres
My grandfather is 81.
intredasting
He is part of the conspiracy.
ballin’ immune system bro
morpheus?
In that case it would have a negative effect on enzymes, and actually there wouldn´t be much we could do about it. But we can, so your argument is ivalid.
Anti joke chicken approves.
Then explain the people who grow up to be 100 years old.
it lasts longer to kill’em
They don’t breath as much.
No! Explain that 80% of people over 100 are on Life Support?
Perhaps Tobacco is the anti-dote?
The same way cancer doesn’t take the same exact number of days, minutes, and seconds to kill every one of its victims.
i don’t want to breathe on this planet anymore
Yeah, oxygen actually is a poisonous gas.. or am I just not getting the meme?
Wait, you mean people actually didn’t know oxygen is poisonous? WTF is wrong with our schools’ education?! D:
what are you TALKING about?!
I just don’t know. I have to wonder the same thing. This is middle school level knowledge here.
Shouldn’t this be a Philosoraptor poster instead?
more like paranoid parrot
GUYS. OXYGEN ISN’T AIR. IT IS IN AIR. normal air itself is not poisonous, but if you do have too much of any of the elements in air then it will become poisonous.
Technically with all the carbon emissions and cfc’s floating around. AIR if comprised of all the perfumes and exhaust fumes and air fresheners would actually be rather toxic…
This is true. Its called free radical dammage and if we didn’t breath, we wouldn’t have it.
well then let’s evolve to not breathe. problem solved.
Great! You start. That also means you get to breed a lot more than the rest of us. Well, have you started yet? The whole future of the human species lies on you… you might be the next step in our evolution! Hurry up and evolve already!
Want some rare candy?
if you know about free radicals, then you should know that they have to do with RADIATION, not AIR
Everything radiates some form of radiation though. D:
False, only the elements that end in -ium
lithium,beryllium,sodium,magnesium,aluminum,potassium,calcium,
scandium,titanium,and vanadium are all elements that end with that syllable and are not radioactive, jut to name a few. look at a periodic table.
^biochemistry understanding FAIL
This dude looks like my friend….
cool story bro
Lawl
9GAG
Mother of god…
MIND BLOWN
*facepalm* this makes PARANOID PARROT look sane!
This is why aliens don’t visit often
WHOA!
Well, technically, oxygen is EXTREMELY destructive; it’s just that it only makes up about 15-20% of the air. The rest is nitrogen (a relatively nonreactive gas) and other gases like argon. NERD RANT GET!
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.
*rubs forehead twice*
See? That’s what happens when you leave the womb. You die a slow and prolonged death.
Is that why you refuse to leave your mother’s basement?
“Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time” -George Carlin
Oh, and can’t tell if knockoff of Paranoid Parrot or Philosoraptor.
Yeah, I’ve thought that before. But then again, every poison has its antidote. What’s air’s?
why not zoidberg?
Further proof that men are superior to women, i.e. they live longer, and are more tolerant to oxygen.
+1 internets for me.
On average, women live 7 years longer than men you idiot -.-
-2 internets for you.
You sexist bastard!
Not sure if no brain, or just had too much oxygen
The science behind this post is most triumphant!
Joke’s on nature, I’m going to stop breathing!!!
“Bill, my friend?”
“Yes, Ted, my friend?”
“This has been a most EXCELLENT adventure.”
*Air guitar*
YEAAAAAHHHHHHH!
thay is kindof what happens
If you turn out to be right, then you can feel very good about yourself in heaven. If that turns out to be real.
I often hold my breathe without thinking about it. So I’m now expecting to become 130 years old!
Wait a minute. Since athletes and such are better at picking up oxygen for their blod that means… THE MORE WE MOVE THE SHORTER LIFE-SPAN!!!
WE HAVE BEEN FOOLED OUR ENTIRE LIVES, EXERCISE IS NOT HEALTHY AT ALL! THE WORLD MUST KNOW!
ah~~ cute cute Keanu Reeves ^__^
Oxygen in dutch is zuurstof, Zuur is acid and stof is a matter. So oxygen is an acid-matter, Therefor…
that would explain asthma!
No, it wouldn’t.
Good stuff!
In a documentary I watched, they said that we get old because our cells oxidize. And they oxidize because of the oxygen we breathe in. I’m not sure how true this exactly is, and maybe I did get something wrong, I watched it long ago.
Or about 20 years, that is, if you live in L.A.
Air needs to learn to work faster.
you go live without air for 80 years, and tell me how that goes.
Any substance consumed in a high enough quantity will kill you, even water. ‘Poisonous’ is a relative term.
so how come my granny is 81 ?
Then It would explain why Keanu Reeve is Immortal… he realized from an early age that air was poisonous… and so he stopped breathing.
Then the people living over 80 are trolling us pretty hard.
I hugged my cellphone because that’s how I roll
Warning: Improper logic buildup, Philosophical meltdown imminent!
If air is poison, but it makes us live, then it is not poison. But it also is, because it is not.
Therefore, this is the Matrix.
I knew that, I just really wanted to make a post today that ended with “therefore, this is the Matrix”. I also claimed Jimmy Wales was Slender Man today, so let’s not question exactly how sane I am.
I guess you’re just SOL either way, huh
this is what happens. oxygen mutates your cells to the point of which they cannot replicate anymore, and that process is called aging
Pot is the antidote guys!
its called oxidation.
actually it is true.oxygen makes iron rusty right?it actually goes for human body too but most people dies because of disiase.
Better find out. *Stops breathing*
