If I remember my chemistry right, chlorine trifluoride would like to have a chat with you. It’s such a powerful oxidizer that when burned with oxygen, the oxygen is actually the fuel rather than the oxidizer.
But then this is the stuff that the Nazis decided was too dangerous to use as rocket propellant, then decided it was too dangerous to use as a chemical weapon.
I don’t want to chat with Chlorine Trifluoride, it’s nasty.
But yeah, there are some obscure situations where oxygen isn’t the oxidizing agent, but the name “oxidizer” gives a clue how rare that is. In most normal situations, oxygen is the oxidizer and the thing it reacts with is the fuel. Partially that’s due to Oxygen being a good electron acceptor, but mostly it’s because there’s a lot of oxygen in the planet, and anywhere you can have humans you pretty much need to have oxygen.
so the French are cowards, Canadians are teddy bears, but somehow when you combine the two they not only cancel our but hyperamplify the opposite?
The French will riot for weeks if you raise their retirement age. Americans will just complain online if you take away their human rights.
The French are not the cowards.
The French shut the entire country down when the government tried to raise the diesel tax by 10 cents, don’t fuck with French labor
good point 🤔
Hydrogen and Oxygen are extremely flammable. When combined they make water.
Oxygen isn’t flammable, Oxygen is what reacts with the things that are flammable.

It’s like Civ Gandhi with nuclear weapons. Aggression goes negative and wraps around to the max.
This is why one should be caution around unsigned numbers.
That’s actually a myth, btw.
Fun fact, numbers to numbers for personnel, vehicles, equipment, air force and navy, France has more stuff than Britain in every category.
I don’t know too much of how good their stuff is other than the Rafale being a fine piece of tech.
French are great when not led by a Frenchman.
Napoleon was French.

Two incredibly dumb generalizations proven wrong in this very thread, but people like you are still perpetuating them.
