For those of you who aren't familiar with Reddit, it's basically a social media site where people post links, ideas, rants, etc. The site is based on an upvote system, which means the links that display "higher" or earlier in the thread you're looking at are more popular and therefore get viewed more often. The following is unrelated, but as a side note, because a majority of the links are legitimately hilarious, most users who post (understandably) steal from one another and pawn off the ideas they read as their own. I am what the website refers to as a "lurker," because I don't actively participate in posting, upvoting, or commenting, yet I still judge everything I read and bitch about incorrect use of the site. Anyway, there is a mildly popular "subreddit" called "Explain Like I'm Five." Every so often, an ELI5 post will get upvoted enough times to find its way onto the front page. Today, I found the following post and scrolled through the comments only to find that no other users reacted the way I did to it: 

"ELI5: If humans continue to cut down forests, will there eventually be a point where oxygen produced can't compensate for oxygen being used?"

Answer: I'm pretty sure a five year old wouldn't ask this question, and if they did, they wouldn't use the word "compensate."

    I’ve decided to add a blog onto my website because despite my best efforts to keep my opinions and personal experiences to myself, I simply can’t resist.
