      i believe thier airway is extended and physically seperated from the throat into the mouth so they can breathe while they are swallowing food at the same time, i think alligators have a similar system. and they only have one lung because of thier elongated body doesnt allow for the extra organs. if you seen a snake swallowing you can see a hole in thier mouth thats what they use to breathe.

              You did nothing wrong! And you did, for better or worse. I still had fun learning about lemmy’s perception of irony. Actually, I wanted to know whether you had some specific way of filtering out AI anatomical images? My top 200 images are all AI or unrelated and it makes me sad. I misremembered who replied first. My b. Disregard. Unless…?

              I’m sure this is a woosh. Let me rephrase the thread.

              A can’t imagine a snake’s diaphragm.

              What diaphragm? (There is no diaphragm)

              Stupid silly! This is the diaphragm: [not the diaphragm we’re looking for]

              I had the same kneejerk reaction to the comment, until I checked the link. OP could have worked on their setup a bit better, and is doing themselves no favours by doubling down on it

              It’s entirely necessary when I set myself up for that punchline. Was it a bit conspicuous when I mentioned a very specific body part they lack, and then made a joke?

                the set up and punchline worked, i think. maybe people are just sensitive to ribbing that involves mild insult about lack of education.

                If it’s a joke it’s a shitty joke.

                If it’s not you’re just doubling down.

            They’re saying snakes do not have diaphragms.

            Ed: it’s their own alt, they could have just said that and not reveled in the drama they caused but whatever.

              Access mostly relates to socioeconomic factors, but you’re largely correct. Use is notably higher in more affluent areas, but snakes are largely homeless and unsupported through reproductive legislation so that rarely matters.

                  Diaphragms are a form of birth control. They are making a joke by deliberating misinterpreting the specific meaning of the word used in an absurdist way, in the Mad Hatter style.

      The joke is that they know it is an egg. The user, somewhat like myself, is clearly trans, and “egg” means something important to the trans community. The extra question marks and the “:3” set the rest of the humorous/teasing tone. The post on here is itself the same kind of subtle meme, with the post text just saying, quite plainly: egg.

      I imagine this wouldn’t be intuitive or amusing unless you’re really in the loop.

        As an outsider I can say that I didn’t even know that was a trans reference. I hadn’t linked their trans status with the joke because that’s not my arena and there’s zero context clues. So I read it literally.

      Nature is amazing. Here’s an animal thats habitat is no where near the ocean, but it’s smart enough to camouflage as something very alien, yet real, in order to defend itself. It’s predators must shit thier pants when they see it become this crazy ass monster from the deep.

      Such beauty.
