HFY thread, because i miss them

>oxygen is a very dangerous chemical used in rocket fuel and chem bombs
>humans breathe oxygen
would humans be the bogans of the universe?
would alien captains be paranoid about human stowaways huffing their gas?

We also inhale hydrogen, which is automatically dangerous.
Do we inhale an 80/20 H/O mixture? Or was it 20/80...

>>oxygen is a very dangerous chemical used in rocket fuel and chem bombs
Every time I see this, it pisses me off more. Yes, if you want combustion, you need an oxidizer. Oxygen is also the third most common element in the universe, which means that most alien life will be using it as well.

This shit's one step above "we drink rocket exhaust lmao".

It's ~80% Nitrogen, ~20% Oxygen. N2 is notable for being one of the most chemically boring things we've found in nature. There's probably some trace amounts of Hydrogen, but if there was enough to start a significant reaction, every time someone flicked a lighter there'd be a massive fireball.

>WE BREATH ROCKET FUEL AND FART POISON
Already a good start.

>third most common element in the universe
wouldn't that be lithium?

Why does HFY seem like such reddit posting now?
Has it always been this cringey and I just didn't realize it before?

That is not how the periodic table works.

People take the cringe to heart more than the good stuff. And there is good stuff.

Weirdly, no. That's because the second step of stellar fusion has Carbon and Oxygen as its products, and the lighter elements are made in rarer processes (Lithium IIRC is mostly made in brown dwarves). It's not really common sense if you look at the periodic table, but the universe doesn't care how we arrange our charts.

i dunno why they're taking it so far, this wasn't meant to be a "man, we so awesome" circlejerk, just a stupid conjecture about retards huffing fuel

well, inside a star
- H+H=He
- H+He=Li
- He+He=Be
....
so would it not be lithium?
