I remember reading A Short History of Nearly Everything a few years ago and in his introduction the author (Bill Bryson) spoke at length about how odd it was that life developed in a šŸ”„flammablešŸ”„ atmosphere. And that we are Dependent on that dangerous gas to live! How weird. He postulated that aliens coming to visit would look askance at us.

ā€œWhat are you?!?ā€

Humans.
