All concrete collapsing, massive drops/increases in pressure that can shatter your eardrums, untreated metals cold welding, full UV rays going through an Ozone layer that no longer exists, planes fall out of the sky… oh and yeah the Earths mantle just fucking collapsing in on itself and essentially dissolving as its composition has an enormous amount of oxygen

    Yeah, I suppose all the water everywhere just be hydrogen. I wonder if this would make us all explode, since H2 is gaseous at room temp. Also get a little heat as it goes from atomic to molecular hydrogen.

    I suppose it depends on what happens to the lipids that form our cell membranes, whether we explode or just kinda dissolve and fall apart. I’m thinking dissolve now, kinda like a Thanos snap, just leaving behind something like soot.

      Not to mention that in the atomic oxygen case it all comes back 5 seconds later, resulting in the greatest firestorm the Earth has ever seen as it recombines.

      It wouldn’t explode, you need an oxidizer for that. But yeah, we would all dissolve into a pile of goo, since the lipid bilayer of the cells would lose their hydrophile component, probably leading to something similar to soapification, and even if that doesn’t kill us, our DNA would degrade in an instant, since oxygen is the binding element between the phosphor atoms which hold the nucleotides together.
