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
This snake has eggcellent taste.
Eating a common egg?
Actually this one got lucky and pulled a SSR egg this time.
He looks so happy.
I dont get how snakes breathe
Edit: yes I do now
His lungs apparently are somehow just warping around it
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.
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
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.
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.
There’s no need to be such an ass when it’s a super valid question about compared anatomy. And indeed, that user is correct: “what diaphragm?” snakes do not have one, they rely on large smooth muscle between the ribs.
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]
ha…ha? I guess?
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 incredibly sad for both the fact that you believe that in any way you had a funny “punchline” or “joke” in there, and for the lack of general snake facts posted here
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.
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
If it’s a joke it’s a shitty joke.
If it’s not you’re just doubling down.
Barring all that being a douchebag to people who don’t “get” your brilliant fuckin joke is… Douchebag activity who could have guessed?
Did… did you click the link?
Somebody put their diaphragm in the wrong way this morning.
You’re clearly upset that you believed I was insulting you even after I pointed out that I wasn’t. I’m not sure what you want from this interaction, at this point
They’re saying snakes do not have diaphragms.
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.
These snakes both lay and eat eggs, so they can get abortion with breakfast.
I think I’ll leave the snake jokes to you. That was really good
The fuck are you talking about.
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.
It’s a pun, you goober
what if the creature is born inside the snake?
No air in there
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
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.
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.
egg
Haha, classic
So, unrelatable & mildly infuriating? Cool.
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.
This is how I eat eggs too
Is it a young Chicken?
