      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?

              It’s punching down to intentionally seem foolish for the sake of a joke? What bizarre reality do you live in? You have no leg to stand on. Like a snake.

                Uhh, they should have covered this in school even if your parents neglected to do so, but here you go.

                That’s punching down.

                You imply they’re stupid or ignorant. You imply their parents didn’t teach them life lessons and you do all that while speaking down to them like you’re better than them. They clearly didn’t get the joke and instead of elucidating them you go on this tirade about how it’s ok to be a jerk if you’re making a joke. It’s not.

                  I really feel like you missed my original intent, and now you’re just so dug in, and refusing to back off. The joke was fucking got, I promise

          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?

              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

        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?

              I know you weren’t the original person, and yet you’re clearly upset. I can only assume it’s because you felt personally insulted.

              I think I’ll continue playing the fool to middling success. Feel free to stay endlessly angry to achieve the same result.

                So, I’m under the impression that they’re white knighting for my original comment asking ‘what diaphragm?’ which if anyone want to get all fucking technical, was me punching down on you. So, I don’t know, wtf is this thread?

                Doubling down again, cool.

                I don’t think you have much choice but to play the fool boss.
