also what triggers breathing/gasping reflex is an abundance of CO2, not a lack of Oxygen. So it would literally be like being high up on a mountain. (also the startling realization that you can potentially asphyxiate if you open enough bags of chips in a closed space.)

Moly B. Denum posted:Oxygen isn't the only oxidizing chemical. Something like Chlorine trifluoride can make just about anything burn, can't be extinguished and reacts violently with water. Some other things that burn under water are a mixture of fuel and oxidizer, like gunpowder. Hah!

It burned its way through a foot of concrete floor and chewed up another meter of sand and gravel beneath, completing a day that I'm sure no one involved ever forgot. That process, I should add, would necessarily have been accompanied by copious amounts of horribly toxic and corrosive by-products: it’s bad enough when your reagent ignites wet sand, but the clouds of hot hydrofluoric acid are your special door prize if you’re foolhardy enough to hang around and watch the fireworks. So yes. There are things which cannot exist in nature because their own existence causes them to violently cease existing as a whole. Humans have crazy levels of Hubris.
