For all we know, oxygen is something only WE need. And is actually completely optional to possible extraterrestrial life.

[@CatManReal]

Exactly. The only reason we need oxygen is because it is what gives us energy from the food we eat. For all we know, any other element on the periodic table could do the exact same thing for a different species.

[@pancitogameplay]

Life started out without any oxygen, it was only until the great oxidation event that life was forced to adapt to oxygen, there's actually a group of organisms that do not need and/or cannot live with oxygen, they were discovered before oxygen was.

[@grzegorzgurtowski1071]

[@2ndbrain909]

For curious minds who are interested in this sort of thing I recommend looking up “Chemosynthesis” which is essentially a different version of a chloroplast. Aka what plants use to make energy. Additional topics include different forms of life such as silicon based, amonia based, Arsenic based life and so on. All very interesting hypotheticals that could realistically exist.

[@mgames3209]

For an abrieviated version, photosynthesis is making energy from light, chemosynthesis is making energy from chemicals

​​@2ndbrain909 earth has the only life in the solar system [edit: among the planets, we aren't certain about some bodies]. We have no clue about life in the distant universe or other planetary systems in general though, to be "sure" one way or the other is to reject critical thinking

[@manly-pumpking]

water is a 100%. literally no life we have discovered can live without water. every single organism also has water in it

[@Avian_slime]

​@manly-pumpking That's because it's the most abundant thing on the planet. Water is mostly used for moisturizing tissue, digestion, lubrication, sweat, and blood. Most if not all of those could be substituted with other chemicals or not needed at all in the right environment.

[@StrikerEureka13]

​@@manly-pumpking All life we have discovered shares a common ancestor. We have no idea if life that developed separately would need water.

[@Fitzcrackers4prez]

Its because it's a good sign and the conditions to have water means it also probably has the right conditions for life. Water is simply just the easiest way and we haven't seen anything else like it. It's easier to look for ourselves than to look at everything

I’m 100% confident that we are never going to find any kind of life out there in our lifetimes, because while life might always find a way, the conditions that made it begin in the first place are so exceedingly impossible that it only happened once.

[@wyattk300]

It's impossible to be 100% confident about speculation. It's most likely true that it won't be found in our lifetimes, but the statistical _Law of truly large numbers_ (which is more a maxim than a law) says that extraterrestrial life is fairly likely to exist because of the extremely large number of opportunities. One-in-a-million experiences happen 8.25 times a day in New York City, for example

[@AshK457]

This is exactly why I think looking for planets that meet certain earth-like criteria for life isn't the only option. We find life on earth all the times in places we didn't think possible, why wouldn't a planet we think wouldn't have life be able to have an extremophile there? Who says they need to be carbon based? Who says they need water, the same temperatures, the same light, the same gases?

[@sudharshanvignesh4643]

For me all this means is that our boundaries for what makes something "habitable" are completely wrong - we just think of temperature as something quantified and something to adapt to - whats boiling hot for us could be room temp for other organisms - the possibilities are endless - life cld be anywhere and cld just be in a dimension unsensable - like how some organisms cant feel certain things,, we just cant feel that dimension and its so unimaginable what they might even seem like seeming like that we just don't consider that aspect
