What if oxygen is poisonous and it just takes 75-100 years to kill us?

My science teacher said he thinks that’s true actually

Yeah this is actually pretty much exactly what is going on. It’s why anti-oxidants are such a big deal. Bonus fact: oxygen oxidizes stuff in your cells or, in other words, it’s not toxic, just setting you on fire very very slowly.

What if there are aliens out there but they subsist on entirely different substances and they’re just scared as shit of us and our crazy ass hell planet? Once in a while some alien anthropologist type suggests checking out the people on this inhabited planet out towards the galaxy’s edge. The other aliens just look at the naive academic with horror. No!! We do not go to that world. That is where the DEATH BREATHERS live. They recreationally consume poisons and are more or less composed of biological fire. Their atmosphere is made of rocket fuel. We must leave the DEATH BREATHERS in peace. Do not go there. Do not.

I tend to always reblog posts about humans being terrifying weirdos to aliens.

okay but…that is actually what went down on earth about 2.5 billion years ago.

Earth was doing just fine with a mostly nitrogen/carbon dioxide atmosphere and everyone was happy to go on living in anaerobic bliss and then cyanobacteria suddenly hit the scene, altered the atmosphere composition so that there was a ton of oxygen gas and killed practically everything (97% or more of all species on earth).

We are literally descendants of the DEATH BREATHERS and cyanobacteria is our deadly mother.

The cyanobacteria holocaust is so big, it doesn’t even have a cool name; it’s just called “The Great Oxygenation Event”; the *second* most apocalyptic extinction event in our planet’s history is the one that’s called THE GREAT DYING (the Permian-Triassic event, about 252 million years ago).

This shit makes like the rock-throwing that wiped out the dinosaurs look like kindergarten.

so hey who else was taught as a kid that “”””wanting attention”””” in any way was wrong and shameful and has grown up unable ask for help or support even in great distress/suffering

prideofyunmeng

Parent: why do you never come to me for help

(two days later)

Me: I need help with something

Parent: CAN’T YOU SEE I’M BUSY WHY CAN’T YOU DO ANYTHING BY YOURSELF GOD YOU’RE SO-

i’ll help you if you ask (unless its something that i consider easy in which case i’ll make you feel bad and think youre a dumbass for not knowing it even though its something i never taught you)

confusedapprentice

You’re doing great and you’re very good I’m glad you’re helping me out ( until you drop something or bring me the wrong thing, then you’re a clumsy useless child and can’t do anything well)

Also I’ll give you the option to decide to either come with me/help me with something or not and I’ll do it alone ( but if you’ll say no I’ll make you feel really bad and say that you don’t want to spend time with me)

inkwingart

For anyone confused about why they feel so off about their parent(s) even though their parent(s) never physically hurt them: all the above examples are textbook emotional abuse.

my favourite trope is when both people understand that they like each other but it’s still unsaid between them and they’re not quite 100% sure the other likes them back so they keep having awkward-flirty moments/interactions and don’t know what to do after it happens so they just ,,, look at each other for a moment before changing the subject…and then it happens again

quiet-reassurance

listen, not to be dramatique but i’d be fine with the terms omnisexual, polysexual, pansexual, etc to describe people’s experiences if they weren’t a continuation of the lgbt+ community’s biphobia and desire to avoid the term bi

like you can id however you want, it isn’t my place to police anyone, but please think critically about why there are so many terms for identities of attraction to multiple genders, but there’s generally one accepted term for most other sexualities

quiet-reassurance

honest to god, everyone in the comments trying to limit the definition of bisexuality is pissing me the hell off

don’t deign to tell me what I can’t be without even doing any research off of tumblr

bisexuality has and always has been the attraction to TWO OR MORE genders, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THOSE GENDERS ARE

within bisexuality there are a lot of separate experiences, however all fall under “bisexual”

https://www.binetusa.org/bisexuality/being-bi/1990-bi-manifesto

please go read yourself the 1990 bi manifesto, which sought to eliminate harmful misconceptions about bi people in 1990, including that bisexuality only involves two gender attraction or only involves attraction to binary genders

it honestly hurts that all of these still exist today and that so many of them have been echoed on this stupid post

quiet-reassurance

also if I ever have to read “bi means two!!! :)))” again I’m gonna actually scream

listen

THE BISEXUAL COMMUNITY DIDNT NAME ITSELF

THEY CLAIMED A MEDICAL TERM THAT WAS USED AGAINST THEM IN PRIDE

therefore any argument about “but they named themselves 2!!!!” is bullshit, bc no they didn’t

doctors who were trying to “cure” them oversimplified bisexuality into “two”, the bi community never claimed to be so simplistic

I will always support girls who figure out that they’re lesbians after thinking they were bisexual and girls who figure out that they’re bisexual after thinking they were lesbians. It can be really hard to determine whether what you are feeling is compulsory heterosexuality or genuine attraction, and we should always show a girl love and support when she tries to figure that out and when she does figure it out.
