gollark: Huh, it says on Wikipedia (all hail Wikipedia) that the Earth is already 30% oxygen.
gollark: Not all of it. Probably not the mantle.
gollark: I'm trying to look up the composition of the Earth, because I figure a good way to remove the oxygen would be to react it with some readily available metal or whatever.
gollark: Use it directly, I mean.
gollark: Though I guess you just need to reduce it to 10% or so to stop humans from being able to use it.
