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.
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?
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?
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.
Doubling down again, cool.
I don't think you have much choice but to play the fool boss.
