Everyone at the beach would get sunburns.
The day-time sky would get darker.
Every internal combustion engine would stall.
All pieces of untreated metal would instantly spot weld to each other.
Everyone's inner ear would explode.
Every building made out of concrete would turn to dust.
Every living cell would explode in a haze of hydrogen gas.
The oceans would evaporate and bleed into space.
Everything above ground would immediately go into free fall.

Everyone at the beach would get sunburns. -While you have an increase of solar radiation, there are other mechanism for to block it. Magnetosphere, oxidation[?], and the density of air at sea level.
The day-time sky would get darker. -Yes and will turn either reddish-green or red, because of Nitrogen or Carbon.
All pieces of untreated metal would instantly spot weld to each other.
Everyone's inner ear would explode. -No, there pressure wouldn't drop significantly because if there are lesser air molecules (because of oxygen being taken away), the air molecules would recollect at sea level; 'almost' balancing out the missing oxygen.
Every building made out of concrete would turn to dust. -No that's physically improbable.
Every living cell would explode in a haze of hydrogen gas. -No, there is no reference to this even happening.
The oceans would evaporate and bleed into space. -Again no, this can only happen if the Atmosphere is completely gone, and the magnetosphere isn't present. The ionization of sea water happens over BILLIONS of years. The ocean would actually freeze.
Everything above ground would immediately go into free fall. -Partly, less air resistance.

konvicted you must be really stupid
Everyone at the beach would get sunburns. Ozone is molecular oxygen, and blocks the majority of UV light. Without it we are toast.
The day-time sky would get darker. With fewer particles in the atmosphere to scatter blue light, the sky would get a bit less blue and a bit more black.
Every internal combustion engine would stall. This means that every airplane taking off from a runway would likely crash to the ground, while planes in flight could glide for some time.
All pieces of untreated metal would instantly spot weld to each other. This is one of the more interesting side effects. The reason metals don't weld on contact is they are coated in a layer of oxidation. In vacuum conditions, metal welds without any intermediate liquid phase (Cold welding).
Everyone's inner ear would explode. As mentioned, we would lose about 21% of the air pressure in an instant (~ from sea level to 2000m elevation), so expect some serious hearing loss.
Every building made out of concrete would turn to dust. Oxygen is an important binder in concrete structures (really, the CO2 is), and without it the compounds do not hold their rigidity.
Every living cell would explode in a haze of hydrogen gas. Water is one third oxygen; without it the hydrogen turns into gaseous state and expands in volume.
The oceans would evaporate and bleed into space. As oxygen disappears from the oceans' water, the hydrogen component becomes an unbound free gas. Hydrogen gas, being the lightest, will rise to the upper troposphere and slowly bleed into space through Atmospheric escape.
Everything above ground would immediately go into free fall. As oxygen makes up about ~45% of the Earth's crust and mantle, there is suddenly a lot less "stuff" beneath your feet to hold everything up.

| If this happened, water will just be a double dose of hydrogen, because H2O is hydrogen squared and oxygen. Though I think the remaining substances in the atmosphere could stop the ocean from going into space. I don't know. I'm terrible at science. |

most of the atmosphere is nitrogen i think
71% or something
but maybe that loss of oxygen percentage would be over the line |

He doesn't explain the process in which most of these things happen.
He backs up his statements up with 2 to 3 sentences.
Very reliable. |

No google is my friend if I didn't know any better. I need professional statements, one that can be backed up by degrees; that is how the professional world works.
Other than that, I will not take this thread seriously.

there are sources like this you can find on google..
"Other than that, I will not take this thread seriously."
then get out
