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.
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
You're telling me this snake is eating a person questioning their gender? Wtf why are they taking photos instead of helping?
You're not supposed to interrupt nature. I know that it might seem cruel, but the snake also has to eat and you don't want to upset the balance of the ecosystem
there's a joke in there with a trans person asking the question and the answer being an egg but i can't think of a good one
I'm glad someone else also thought of this exact page
I am now saving this picture, and spreading it as far and wide as I can.
And I will never, never, never translate it into English.
Why don't people read before they respond?
It takes a small fraction of the time and effort, and they still have to read the responses to their comment to get the benefit.
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.
egg
Haha, classic
Eating a common egg?
He looks so happy.
It is obviously pretending to be a pufferfish.
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.
Not to be confused with the ping pong ball eater snake, or the larger basketball eater snake
This is how I eat eggs too
This snake has eggcellent taste.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
