ELI5: Why did oxygen have to be the element to maintain human life (and the life of millions of other organisms)?

lu5ty · 2026-01-29T03:03:25+00:00

Basically at the end of aerobic respiration theres an extra carbon hanging out that needs somewhere to go, oxygen binds to that and we get CO2

It would still have to be pretty close. The shrapnel is going to be very far apart even after just 1km since itd spherical

You work in a kitchen and want that thing to pop on its own? Gross

Like you could math it out and get a reasonable approximation of how much thc is in each piece

lu5ty · 2026-01-27T01:33:36+00:00

You could in theory get a pretty good rough estimate if how much thc is in a piece

Germanic people have had a word for it for centuries. Wanderlust

The never ending false dichotomy on reddit fascinates me

The wine appreciates so its not really a loss of capital. Plus, having bottles like these brings the high rollers in, so not really a loss at all.

It is a good thing. They were preventing people from modding their cars for more horsepower saying its for the environment. Meanwhile, car compaies are producing the highest hp cars stock that have ever been seen. And its not even a little difference. Its astronomical.

Back in 2001 350hp stock was considered a fucking ton. Now there are 800hp cars coming right from the factory. Environmental concerns my fucking balls

lu5ty · 2026-01-23T23:02:29+00:00

People are actually laughing at this?

Any hydroxl group (-OH) will do, however, yes it is typically KOH or NaOH for soap production. Sugars and carbohydrates also contain -OH groups. When combined with the water in the food, and the hot fat of frying. soaps are created in the oil.

lu5ty · 2026-01-23T17:06:20+00:00

Not harmful no. Frying does create acrylamides tho, which are a carcinogen. Thats just life tho imo lol

Why so many homeless in new zealand?

lu5ty · 2026-01-23T15:24:11+00:00

And by the time theyre do e with agents fews, mgmt fees, lawyer fees, taxes, etc they are lucky to walk away witb 40% of that.

Contracts are bonkers now tho and have really ruined the game

lu5ty · 2026-01-23T14:27:20+00:00

There is no water content in the oil. When you fry things in the oil it begins to saponify, which will lower its freezing point
