as I was told from early education that the air we currently breathe in contains 21% oxygen and 77-ish% of nitrogen and the rest are other particles.
So I have a dumb question on what the body uses nitrogen we breathe in for?

Nothing.
Some nitrogen gas is dissolved in the blood, but it doesn’t actually do anything there. If you go diving, under the intense pressure more nitrogen gets dissolved, and if you return to the surface too quickly, that gas comes out of solution forming bubbles in your blood. This is called the bends and is very dangerous. You need to slowly rise to the surface while constantly breathing to avoid this, allowing the nitrogen to leave your blood through your lungs like other gasses.
A 100% oxygen atmosphere is actually dangerous to breathe because of how reactive it is. It can actually burn your lungs.
Nitrogen (N2) is a triple bond, so it takes a lot of energy to break that bond, so once it’s in that N2 state, it tends to stay that way.
Kinda off topic but came to mind. We produce nitric oxide in our sinus cavities and on our tongue, a highly reactive substance that has a very short half life when it enters our lungs it dilates our blood vessels making us take in more oxygen
I blame your unethical ways of cheating the system.
I completed a challenge in one of my games. It was supposed to be on a specific date. But I was late. So did my thing and bam. Done on the date I was supposed to have done it.
