If I breath air, I die. If I don't breath air, I die. Then what the fuck am I supposed to do?!!!!!!!
Believe in yourself, you find the answer in your heart. Haha jk eat foods that have antioxidants.
Nothing.
just wish that u dont die
Daniel Davoodnia Well I guess we have to experiment with trying to get us to breathe something else? Perhaps a more stable gas? No idea how tho. Maybe that would be an interestic topic. Would it be possible to make us breathe and live of another (more stable) type of gas?
erfho8y yes but that's the most abundant type of gas in our atmosphere and will be more abundant if we don't breath it
This title is even better than the dihygrogen monoxide movement!
+DragoniteSpam
Dihydrogen Monoxide: It's in our water supply, it's in our bodies, and it is what tortuously prolongs our march towards death. Sometimes it bonds with salts, sometimes with other polar molecules...what's your story, Dihydrogen Monoxide?
Vercingetorix But you forgot the part where it kills three thousand people a year by getting in their lungs, is the best solvent on the planet and both its gaseous and solid forms can permanently damage your skin!
+DragoniteSpam I saw a warning for dihidrogen monoxide. I just laughed myself silly. ROTFL!
Last year I went around to all my schools water fountains and stuck a sign that read "Caution, may contain large amounts of Dihydrogen Monoixde" Everyone but the chemistry teacher went mad!
Jera Nichols Your school is amazing.
Sci Show: *says oxygen is killing us* - *goes into detailed explanation about how it is helping us*
millecht midfaern Since all living things die, if it helps us live then we will eventually die.
Tbh with chu, without oxygen you wouldnt even survive 1 second.
@2:30 he actually goes into detail about it killing us...slowly from the inside
oxygen, the double edged sword
The double edged molecule
OMG! THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!
1. stop breathing
2. live forever
100% of people breathing oxigen will die.
DONT BE STUPID.
STOP THE BREATHING
+A Banana and 100% of people who dont breath die
+Brick Gamer false
gemme proof
+aung Oo *Stops breathing*. *Cells die from lack of oxygen*.
Brick Gamer
No! the latest scientific tests have shown that people die of oxigen,it just kills you slow. and its a drug so you are addicted to it
Scary fact:
100% of all organisms who breathe oxygen eventually die. 😟😱😵
And 100% of all living organisms that don't breathe oxygen will die.
Not correct what about that weird ass jelly fish
jellyfish is immortal when ever feel close to dead it well just repeat it self
The jelly will get eaten
100% organisms that breath air,water, anything, nothing, all of them will die except for hey zues
A certain priest got killed by oxygen
**Starts breathing heavily to speed up my death**
Jumbles The Cat ur ded inside.
Lmao
wait hold on
is that
@@marisaeggs a jojo reference?
I KNOW I AM JUST JOKING.
Am I the only person who doesn't inhale oxygen? It's just too mainstream for me...
TheRandomHat JF I lick it, I like my oxygen like I like my hallucinogenic toads.
+theRandomHat JF i would help with that ;)
i prefer to freeze or can my oxygen so i can always have something to eat/drink on the go.

TestSubject11 oh my goodness that was lovely. Portal is fantastic.
When I was a kid, I read science fiction stories about planets with deadly atmospheres, like methane and ammonia.
Truth is, if you want a really dangerous atmosphere, it's hard to beat plenty of oxygen and free water vapor. It's seriously hazardous and destructive - but it's what we're used to.
And explosive.
When I heard that Oxygen is killing us imma just like "oh hell no." so I switched to carbon dioxide. Now imma tree.
*rrrrrrrrrr* the chain saw's comin boi !
I switched to 1/100th of the atmosphere of earth. I am now Marsformed.
Jacob Koch😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Jacob Koch good luck with the caterpillars, they will be hungry.
Trees breathe oxygen... they only use co2 for photosynthesis... sorry but I had to.
Who can resist from clicking on a video that says that the essential element of life is killing you? :3
ME!!! Oh wait... I'm here...
Anyone that didn't click
Not you apperently
Kim Jong Un
Drakinite The title doesn’t mention Carbon!
"oxygen rusts you from the inside" oh tHATS AWESOME :C
OMFG! what doesn't give cancer these days!?!?!?!?
obviously not your profile pic
+Emil Skriver I think people used to die from cancer a lot in the yore but people just signed it as natural causes since they couldn't investigate it much further
every thing can make cancer
+Emil Skriver Not living
+Emil Skriver You know what can also cause cancer ?
NOTHING .
Yes nothing. DNA is a molecule that is very staple. But not completely. Sooner or later it may lose it's bond and become a free radical itself.
Now i can finally take care of that florida priest
I'm going to do an experiment... I'm going to breath less my whole life, if i hit 200 years, you have to leave your life savings to me.
Oxygen...WHY?!
why not
Does that mean that people living at high altittude (Andes, Himalayas) will live longer than people living at sea level altitude?
wtf is with this question?
Good question!!!?
@@lemonboi_project wtf is your existence
yes they do live longer
This is how Emporio beat Pucci
Watching SciShow everyday
stare deep into hank's eyes, it will seem almost like a cry for help.
nah hes just dying from the inside
It looks like he’s in a lot of pain
I'm still breathing in oxygen
Thug Life
no its not thug life, its normie life
I read a news sometime that was kinda Bizarre, it was like that:
-"In 2012 time was accelerating and it caused a priest death by oxygen"
How someone make a news like that.
Imma burn down the house
The last part about "can't live with it" was pure genius.. Very funny!
I'm afraid to breathe now...
Then dont🤣
but your still breathing cause this is an automatic response made by the brain
I have learned more in this video than I would learn in class! Thank you so much! Clear, condensed, easy to understand information. Love it! :D
i was gonna slap sci show for this title then i watched the video and slapped my self and died when i tried to extend my life
Im afraid to breath now
MUSTN'T....BREATHE
jesus calm down, you are hyperventilating
So, EVERYTHING CAN FREAKING KILLING ME
1. McDonalds
2. Microscopic Organism
3. Sex(HIV)
4. Poison
5. NOW EVEN OXYGEN
6. What's next? living?
Yes... its called aging
the sixth called.....NOTHINGNESS
the french call orgasms the little death i guess (or did once upon a time)
Living is the only way to die
Actually yes, life is a one way ticket to getting cancer, too much meat, depression, too much oxygen, too little oxygen
As a proud vegan feminist, I can safely say that this is my third year off oxygen and I couldn't have felt better. This dangerous gas was killing me from the inside out, I could feel it in my arms to my legs. I'm now residing in the Pacific Ocean where I speak to Dolphins, diving down to the underwater volcanoes to satisfy my thirst for vital minerals and Methane, which I now respire on. We must convince the majority to make the change now. The sea dwellers are planning an all out attack soon and we must prepare
Lol
Water has oxygen, its h20, one atom of hydrogen and two of oxygen.
And oxygen atoms are mixed with the water. Animals with gills take that oxygen in . Water without this oxygen is dead and nothing that needs oxygen in it can live.
+Stan McSerr you just said what I said.
+Captainfunnyhead just letting both of u know... H2O is two H atoms and 1 oxygen atom, in order to break this molecule into h2(gas) and O2 (gas) u require a serious amount of energy (electrolysis) which doesn't appear in any organic respiratory system. The oxygen that life underwater (eg fish) breathe on is dissolved oxygen that is either produced through photosynthesis of phytoplankton or mixed into the water through any form of agitation, the fish are able to separate this molecule from the water using somewhat like a filtration technique which resides in their gills, the above comment was a joke, not to said seriously
Guys, your videos are just awesome!
So I guess you can call water hydrogen oxide. LOL
this may be true but we are still evolving and if it is causing mutation our body could adapt to make it not damage us, but it is cool to know there was once a time humans didnt need oxygen which begs the question what did we need?
Ten! ten! ten!
this channel is very trippy
DUDE! You're an awesome host! I'm digging your videos, thanks !!!
Hank I love the way you talk (your accent) and how you get across to your messege.
Here is a question for you, "Who counted the electrons in each atom since they can't be seen?"
Keep up the great work.
computers...?
This Hank Green is killing me.
That's true ;) Don't stop making videos: You're the best ;)
Hank, I don't know if you'll get bored of making videos, but I don't think I'll ever get bored of watching them! :-D
thank u for the info hank. love you❤️❤️
Yeah, when I was younger I wondered if rust was caused by oxidation, wouldn't it mean that it harmed us as well? Turns out it does hah. I was a pretty observant and curious kid. Still am
...I wondered: if rust...*
JCarolR oxidation is the loss of electrons, not when oxygen reacts with something like iron to form rust
still am
Is there any way we could be sustained without oxygen? Like a way to keep the brain/organs active without oxygen.
MASSIVE loads of ATP, which is the actual power of our body, but it takes Oxygen to produce it.
It only takes oxogen to produce ATP when making it along the aerobic pathway, the ATP-CP & Lactic acid pathways don't use oxogen.
Yeah but the lactic acid pathway makes lots of.. yeah, painful cramping
Jake Beadle What if you are male?
If we can find a way to block those oxygen cell things?? Idk
no clue why but the mercy killing part had me dieing lol
That start was killer
Good thing I love Orange Juice and Blueberries. :)
MinionOfDeth2112 #OrangeJuiceGaming
haha they still contain liquid oxygen too!
Anyone else having a hard time breathing while watching this?
I am.
nah just you
hank explains the best in scishow
1:31 Aey! My favourite Disney character!
So that's where the word antioxidants comes from. Neat.
I really enjoy listening to these. I especially enjoy the ones like the teenage brain explained and obesity. Could you do more relatable videos like that. Full of new facts
Thank you so much for this reference! :)
I guess i'll just stop breathing then.
k bro
Pucci dislikes this video
Shylock Shy always great to find another Jojo fan on a random vid lol
Emporio dislikes the video too. He doesn't really wanna think about it.
this is insightful
This Channel never ceases to make me nervous with all the facts.
2018?
Yes
Med student here. Very well explained based on your viewer base. Making the complicated seem simple is true art.
Precious guy
This was also a theory.
Maybe this is why we age. Anyone think of that?
Gee for being such a Noble gas, oxygen sure is volatile.
james Last Its not a noble gas...
Oxygen is not a noble gas. Don't know where you got that from.
It's a halogen!
Not a halogen either
Msuhail9 It is in the Chalcogens but that is disputed the Chalcogens contain Sulfur
Very educational. I love your channel. How did you get so smart (for a young wipper snapper) ? And cute, I almost forgot cute ! Thanx for a great video, once again. 💝
I have always known this, but now I know the science behind it. Pretty interesting stuff
Is there a substance other than breathing liquid perfluorocarbon that can serve the same purpose?
chlorine.Trust me,its good.
What if life is just a hallucination caused by oxygen poisoning?
What a lovely way to title your video.
This is something else... i like it
That's ridiculous!
Why?
It's true, because oxygen is harmless.
I don't know.
Emwinslimshady Wow calm down.
Harmless? It can be explosive you know?
I'm going to go live in my pool now bye
Hope crash course and sci show provide transcriptions for printing
Me: watches this video
Also me: has flashbacks of everyone that died in the past decade, just now realizing they all used to breathe oxygen
I was breathing during this. (sarcastic comment about oxygen)
it was subtle
So... To survive the " air apocalypse " I have to eat loads of vitamin C and stuff in food
Can someone tell me which foods have vitamin C? So I can live. To be 83 years old. And get married. And not mutate. Or else know one will find me attractive ._.
Time to eat a boatload of oranges!
usually Citrus fruits like Oranges, lemons, or even limes have a lot of vitamin C
Chrissy stokes cool thanks for the info! "to the fruit bowl" *runs* *batman music* :DDDDD
Pickleo Pickleton._.
Remove Scurvy!
I held my breath during the entire video....
This was one of the articles in the practice ACT in the science section like a week ago
i swear when was 7 i told my uncle oxygen was killing us and he didnt believe me im a fkn genius
nah ur just a crackhead
So much to the "finely tuned" universe theists have been throwing around. We have such a fragile existence that in just one spectacular event we could end up like the other 99% species who have gone extinct, heck even our own "special home" is killing us slowly. We are just lucky that we are still able to survive as a species right now.
How do you know that's not by design?
How do you know that it is designed?
I will concede to the fact that I will never know whether it was designed or not. But if you think logically and if you look at the evidence around you, it is very likely that there is no such thing as design and there is no such thing as God whatsoever. It is most logical to assume that everything happened by chance.
But lets say it was designed... so you will still follow a God that is supposed to be "all loving and merciful" and yet creates a world and an existence so harsh for his "beloved" creations and will punish them for eternity for a finite transgression?
Its really obvious that God was just one of our civilization's early methods of keeping order and control to the masses back when everything was still very rudimentary.
Sid Burn *shrugs* Logic is not the be all and end all of the universe. And such limited beings as ourselves can hardly understand all the complexity of such things. To truly understand we would need to be a lifeform much greater and more capable of holding an unlimited amount of knowledge. Perhaps something that might be likened unto a deity by more primitive beings. Seeing as we are incapable of even conceiving of the idea of eternity without becoming dizzy we are ill equipped to calculate why such adversities are necessary to our existence. Learning to cope with them DOES contribute to our growth at least. You can't argue that. What incentive to become more than we are would there be without challenges? What would we learn in a life free of uncertainties? How would we learn compassion, love, beauty or joy without callousness, hate, ugliness and sorrow. All that exists has an opposite to keep it in perspective. That is the best answer that I, as an imperfect being, can give to such questions. Also I thank you for at least responding in a more thoughtful way than others might have.
Sid Burn
thats just it .... theistic scientists have observable measurable mathimatical science .... then there are the scientists that have pure theoretics based on theories which are based on an outdated gravitational model... that yes has working math but ignores the plasma physics model of the universe
iammadness Sorry for commenting on 3 months old comment :p
I'll give you the fact that it was designed. The 99% of species that have been extinct so far as well as the super volcanoes that could erupt at any second, wiping out all life on earth. However this would show a very capricious designer indeed if not an evil one to say the least. An all powerful deity with all knowledge yet decides to create a world like this. Where a star dies every second, where diseases kill children under the age of 5. With all this in mind it would be logical to assume that this deity is; either evil and enjoys this, does not care at all or the most logical does not exist in the first place. Sorry again for disturbing you with a 3 month old comment.
"This thing... will bond with about anything if you know what I mean" I haven't laughed so hard in ages
Just normally inhaling oxygen.
RUclips : Oxygen is killing you.
* Struggling to inhale . *
I am tempted to stop breathing. But then I realized that it would kill me faster. I think I'll just keep living with it. Or dying with it... DANG IT SCIENCE, YOU CONFUZZLED ME!
yes but if u have enough antioxidants then u will have less chance of die ing
OXYGEN KILLS YOU WAYYY SLOWER THAN ANY OTHER GAS so be happy
Guys this is serious. Oxygen is killing us. Boycott oxygen today!
Leah Streader Just become a vampire, find your nearest one and provoke them in to biting you and your need for oxygen is over. If they have a different mythical creature in your area do some research on it, if it has immortality you can probably steal it by eating it's leg or some shit.
True. I used to like Vampires, until Twilight happened.. I think I'll become a zombie instead. I hear there's a heard of them not too far from my area. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks Rob Fraser!
LoL u know why i found this funny because couple months ago i wouldnt knw one thing he would saying but now I actually do
Im scared to breathe O.O
but you still do it tho
So breathing less will make you live longer?
For a few minutes.
Aerobic exercise is still good for you.
No, your body needs the oxygen. Breathe less and your body will have less oxygen for respiration.
HOW ABOUT WE ALL STOP BREATHING AND LEVE THIS PLANRT FOR CATZ XD LOL
Whos Watching in 2018?
ItsAlex Aye 2019?
That intro is why i liked it though hahaha
I've been saying this for years. It's slowly rusting our insides.
more antioxidents dont do anything... you have plenty of ways to deal with toxic forms of oxygen, namely enzymes that form toxic oxygen into less harmful substances. It's not much of a problem for us, so long as we are healthy.
Actually, studies show that taking antioxidants as well as a balanced diet actually increases the risk of cancer.
Andrew Daniels I would have to see a damn good source to find that credible. Balanced diet will reduce your risks for cancer, from the research I've seen.
They are genuine studies dating from the 1970's to the present day, and, at least to the best of my knowledge, are not from those that could benefit from such research.
porkinitup210 I apologise for any confusion, antioxidant supplements as well as a balanced diet, not a balanced diet itself.

Oxygen is even more dangerous if you have an Iron Lung. Heh.
Aw title and omg i knew it i have been thinking about this for years
*sees title*
*voluntary pulmonary arrest*
Someone call Donald Trump and declare war on oxygen!
No. Just NO.
YourPalAL and. Fake news..
But oxygen does not have oil
Your really hurting my mental health
You're*
I wasn't trying to come across as rude or anything but it really bothers me when I see 'you're' being used as 'your'. Sorry if I offended you or anything.
+Rose Gao grammar nazi
Although I don't correct grammar often enough to warrant being called a "grammar nazi" feel free to do so. I won't deny it.
ooh, this is an oldie.
That's it, I'm holding my breath from now on!
I guess you could say SciShow sure...
*Killed* this one.
*reads title and starts breathing intensely* "why isn't it working please just"
I like how "is killing" and "kills" are different in this context.
3:10 - Challenge Accepted!
R.I.P. In Peace Plissken Armitage 1989 - 2017
To be clear
You breath natural air, not pure oxygen
Breathing in pure oxygen can hurt you
