Oxygen

Artist render of oxygen

## Description

Oxygen is a chemical element with the symbol O. It is a highly coveted resource and is commonly converted from Official United States Dollarydoos. Oxygen is so valued that people's spouses have divorced them for people who can put oxygen on the table. In the late 1500s, Britain began colonizing America for its rich supply of oxygen. Today, centuries later, Douglas Wreden is responsible for the supply of oxygen to his basement.

## Wreden's Exploits

Starting in the video "I challenged a Youtuber to the most chaotic Zelda race ever", Doug had started charging his viewers for Oxygen, and has been ramping up the price. The sick, twisted bell pepper enjoys watching his viewers suffocate, unable to afford oxygen.

Every few streams, he opens up the Oxygen Bank to let his viewers convert their Dollarydoos into oxygen. Twitch Chat often revolts, converting so much oxygen that Doug's bank freezes. It is currently priced at 500 DYD (DougDoug Dollarydoos) for 1 tank's worth of Oxygen.

## Price in USD

The conversion rate from Dollarydoos to the US Dollar is 13.977 DYD = 1 USD, and 1 DYD = 0.072 USD (for more information on this conversion, see this page). The average cost of 1 Tank of Oxygen in Washington State, U.S (Doug's place of residence) is **$16.67.** As stated earlier, the current price of oxygen in the Basement is 500 DYD. If we convert this to USD, the cost of oxygen is **$35.77**.

This makes DougDoug Oxygen cost $19.1 more, 2.145x more, or 114.58% **more expensive than the state average**. Although this doesn't take into account the average cost in other states, or nationwide, but the state average is a relatively good local comparison.

## Hydrogen Substitution

Because that the Oxygen supply is being capitalized on, some Basement dwellers have started using Hydrogen as a substitute. People even outside the Basement inhale very small traces of Hydrogen in the atmosphere, but it's not toxic. From recent medical studies, 2.7% Hydrogen inhalation does not cause any **significant** adverse health side effects in **healthy adults**.

While there exists some health benefits, it is discouraged from substituting **too much** Oxygen for Hydrogen, due to the fact that your body **does not** gain energy from it, and you will have a **very high chance** of getting asphyxiation from lack of Oxygen.

## Oxygen in the Doug-Hole

On October 9th 2022 Regent Dougholer WoollyWarrior, the leader of the wiki, raised oxygen prices in the Doughole by 200%. Read Wiki History for more information on the subject.

## Trivia

* It is said that this wiki was created solely for oxygen profit.
* Since the average Twitch viewer makes 220 DYD per stream, they would need to watch 2.16 streams to afford 1 Tank of Oxygen. This brings in the idea that a percentage of Doug's audience is only watching the streams to be able to afford Oxygen for their families.

Seattle's costs $23, Vancouver's costs $15, and Pullman's costs $12. If we take the average of these, rounding up, we get a state average of $16.67.
