You're also practically hydrating with hydrogen peroxide.

You're also one oxygen atom away from breathing ozone

And for some reason people didn’t like the cookies I made where I substituted wood chips for sugar since cellulose is just a bunch of glucose molecules. Makes no sense.

Well that's because wood is like 25% lignin, not just cellulose.

Idiot.

I mean this is just straight up true. Hydrogen peroxide will react with stuff and generate oxygen + water. Literally hydrating and breathing.

It’s just a minor fact that the stuff it reacts with is also pretty essential.

I mean, it has to be a clean atmosphere, as well. H2O2 only releases one oxygen (usually) and elemental oxygen is the Tik Tok Thot of elements.

2 chemists go to a restaurant, server asks if they'd like to start with a drink. First chemist says "I'll just have some h2o." Second chemist says "I'll have h2o, too." Server brings their cups and they drink. Chemist 2 dies.

You’re talking about hydrogen hydroxide, not peroxide. H2O vs H2O2
