Nope. Ignorance is not safety.

    Not knowing basic physics is not being right.

    They are correct - nitrous oxide inhalation does not automatically cause brain damage.

    When inhalation of high concentrations of nitrous oxide is discontinued, high partial pressure in blood transfers nitrous oxide to the alveoli rapidly. This dilutes the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli and may lead to hypoxemia. [...] This concern is more theoretical than clinical, however. Hypoxemia is significant for only a matter of minutes and has been documented only when high concentrations (>70%) have been delivered by full mask or by endotracheal tube. These conditions cannot be met with the use of conventional dental nitrous oxide machines with nasal masks, and any tendency for diffusion hypoxia is trivial.

    Yea, if you do it once. How many dipshits do it once? Besides, I personally know multiple people that have chronic issues from doing it too much.

    Again, your ignorance does not reflect reality. Period.

    I'm terribly sorry, but do you happen to have any sources? The literature does not reflect, well, absolutely anything you're saying.

    People do not huff pure lab grade chemicals in the real world. People do not stop when it's prudent in the real world. The fact you're defending huffing oxygen-displacing gas is not just weird but exceptionally pathetic.

    Not only confidently incorrect, now youre even insulting. Maybe try learning some actual facts about the stuff you are talking about instead of relying on fearmongering abd being butthurt.

    No need to hurl slurs over this - besides, it's not an explanation of their behavior here; by any classic definition I would be considered retarded, and I'm far more informed on this subject than they are.
