gollark: Oxygen is needed to run aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration is needed by lots of body stuff - muscles can run on anaerobic respiration for a bit, but not things like the brain.
gollark: I mean, you can go without oxygen input for a few minutes (I think because of stuff held in the lungs, though - stopping time would break absorption of that), but stuff does actually need it.
gollark: You can't just "not require oxygen".
gollark: The air doesn't move, so you're fixed in place (by air), but also can't breathe any.
gollark: If you stop time for everything but you, you can't actually do anything and rapidly suffocate or something.
