What about those people who can hold their breath for longer than two minutes?

[–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're playing at half speed

This has to be the right answer

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We should all help them upgrade!

Except, if you refuse to breathe, you won't die, you'll just pass out and start breathing again...which kinda kills the tension implied by the meme.

It never mentions breathing voluntary/consciously, though. It is technically correct

I can hold my breath for 4 minutes. Does that mean I'm technically living more life than the rest of you?

Might have a longer life expectancy.

But like for real, that probably means your body gets better oxygenation which would make you a bit healthier, on average.

If you only took 1 breath every 2 minutes you would be what they call in France "le dead."

It doesn’t say you only breathe once every two minutes, though.

You just reset the timer more frequently than once every two minutes. It doesn’t change the fact you only have two minutes from each breath.

With the essence of chlorine gas its again 2 minutes time without the reset part💀

[–] silverwing@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Or carbon monoxide

About to die? Breathing is the solution.

You can power charge the timer when you breath in pure oxygen.
