I dont get how snakes breathe
Edit: yes I do now
His lungs apparently are somehow just warping around it
That’s interesting, I’m having a hard time picturing their diaphragm.
What diaphragm?
Uhh, they should have covered this in school even if your parents neglected to do so, but here you go.
I'm sure this is a woosh. Let me rephrase the thread.
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?
I’m sad that you’re willing to be a dick to someone on the internet for a silly joke. I imagine you’re also rude irl.
@Gullible@sh.itjust.works
the set up and punchline worked, i think. maybe people are just sensitive to ribbing that involves mild insult about lack of education.
I thought it might have been the mild sexual angle? In any case, I’ve never had people quite this angery about a contraception joke
And their comments weirdly get instant upvotes while everyone else's (who got the sarcasm and got that you're not actually being rude) is getting mixed votes. hmm...
I get that we have broader neurodivergence here but isn't it too much for someone being THAT invested about being butthurt about a sarcastic joke?
@xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works
it is sad. and also weird theyre offended for something not directed to them. the person who was being replied to was not offended in the least.
@Gullible@sh.itjust.works
thats part of the joke, which i found funny. exhausting how something witty devolved into this. dont understand where the anger is coming from.
I don’t know whether I’d call it witty, but I’m always game to look silly for fun.
Edit: on the internet. Doesn’t work out as well irl
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
Wtf, dude, I fucking lol’d at your joke, and I’m just floored at all the subsequent downvotes. I’m so sorry, I really only meant to trigger a fun conversation but something else happened… 🤷♂️😅
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 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.
I don't know what I was expecting, I suppose obviously all their organs would be long and thin logically, but I was expecting something else.
Looking like recursion with organs: all organs placed inside a large-intestine-like animal. And if it swallowed a mouse, another set of organs, and if that mouse swallowed ... etc
