Wait till this person finds out about basically every other element they're made of

This made me look up what the actual ratios of elemental composition in the human body are, and I learned we're 67% oxygen by atomic mass, which makes sense, with only 9.5% hydrogen, but I still find that idea that we're mostly oxygen oddly upsetting.
