    It can be out for a matter of minutes.

    Humans are just ludicrously overdependent on aerobic respiration, our brain metabolism is overcharged to the point of being broken.

    Most other animals have a lot more room to function sans oxygen, they’re more limited by stored energy reserves.

        Can’t speak for op but it usually adds cheek. Sans’ use was revived a few decades ago. It tends to alter one’s tone to sound slightly stuffier, like putting on a top-hat and monocle. I’ve also seen it used more randomly by younger people who recently learned its meaning.

        Edit: disclaimer and use case

          I’m old, from when it was first revived, it’s slightly snarky and removes seriousness from a topic in the middle.
