Salty water can dissolve and thus destroy a whole bunch of other chemicals... We're lucky we evolved in an environment full of it so much that we are adapted to it!

Same with oxygen. Such a corrosive substance, but we evolved to slowly react with it internally.

Classic!

Reminds me of a HFY (humanity fuck yeah) novel where somone got stranded on another planet and just by taking a dump, their gut biome turned the planet's flora and fauna to shit by digesting it.

Our body is a machine that is built from the most aggressive chemicals put together.

Take it one level lower on down, when you're the size of an electron, orbitals are wild, turbulent places, sometimes sharing electrons which also often get zapped by light, so they jump to a higher orbital, then they randomly spit out that photon and reappear back down... all the orbitals of a molecule violently jiggling all the time.

Take photosynthesis. Simply put and to oversimplify but it's essentially accurate, a photon hits an electron bullseye in a leaf molecule, which sets off a wave of energy in motion, breaking up molecules, reassembling them into sugars and waste product (oxygen).
A red photon raises an electron one orbital up, that sets off one process at a certain level of energy. A blue photon raises an electron two orbitals up, that sets off another process at twice the energy level.

You're missing the fuckton of heat that is generated during neutralization. I've had a few lab volcanoes because of it (LOC due to the low-boiling organics flash boiling).

Na: I will BURN you! You put me in water, I WILL DESTROY THE WATER.

Cl: You can't even be near me! I will get into your lungs and DESTROY them!

NaCl: I will make your food taste better unless you use TOO MUCH OF ME AND THEN IT WILL TASTE BAD AND YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE WILL GO UP A BIT!

Due to parents unrealistic expectations the child will be forever salty.

On unrelated news, mixing an orange and a red liquid doesn't give you an orange-red liquid in all cases.

And mixing the scent of an apple with the scent of cat hair doesn't give you coconut scent.
