A time traveler’s survival guide. The vertical green bars are the only times in Earth’s history with enough oxygen to breathe (hypoxia) and low enough to avoid oxygen toxicity (hyperoxia):
My grandfather would tell stories of how the planet used to be covered in plants and you could breathe the air outside. Back when the sky was blue.
First off, weird to point out that they’re “age appropriate”
If your kid reads above the age level and understands it that’s generally a good thing
Number two I don’t get why this is such a weird concept on how to explain things to a child. Seems pretty normal and “age appropriate”
“No parenting class would have ever prepared me for having my kid ask me why we don’t need artificial oxygen storage.”
No, but a grade school science class would have…
Yeah this is mindboggling. It wouldn’t have ever crossed her mind to tell her kid that they don’t need oxygen canisters on this planet? I mean, what the dad said is good, as it opened the door to some more learning… but wow.
You completely missed the point.
This was about the elegance of the answer, not the answer itself.
Sounds to me like Dad needs a little credit here.
Get some perri-air
I’m very disappointed there was no praise for dad at the end of all that.
As far as I can tell, the whole thing was praising the dad.
So, where do I find this dad, as opposed to, “Dunno, ask yer mom, and fetch me a
bud lightcoors.”?
