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.

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.

Can you legitimately not understand or are you just upset? I’m willing to explain the correlation between contraceptive use and economics, if it’s the former
He’s referencing a legitimate talking point about birth control, and in that light his comment made perfect sense. The whole second half of this thread reads like you got whooshed and then double downed after you realized what happened.
That’s neat, no one gives a shit about the shitty joke. People care that they decided to punch down on some random to set up a terrible fuckin joke and instead of being like “hey my bad I could have waited for literally anyone who got the joke to set me up instead” they decided to double down on being a condescending dickhead.
Dunno, the joke becomes obvious if you check the link, and the link being “diaphragm (birth control)” is effectively the joke indicator. The comment works as a joke all on its own, it’s not a setup.
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.
Yeah we all get that, we don’t get why they felt the necessity to set it up by being rude to a random.
It seems like a bad attempt to cover-up a mistake but whatever.

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.
