      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.

            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…?

            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 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

              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]

              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 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?

                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?

                    I don’t need to it says it’s the contraceptive in the url.

                    No one didn’t get the shitty joke, people have an issue with the shitty way they set it up.

                    Here’s a fun one, did… did you read the rest of the comment chain before asking redundant questions?

                  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

                    You’re clearly not checking usernames, you didn’t insult me.

                    No one asked you for anything boss so the answer would be nothing, find a way to not be a prick to setup a shitty joke i guess?

            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.

      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.
