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

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 am now saving this picture, and spreading it as far and wide as I can.
And I will never, never, never translate it into English.

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.

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.

Not to be confused with the ping pong ball eater snake, or the larger basketball eater snake

That’s interesting, I’m having a hard time picturing their diaphragm.

What diaphragm?

But they sound really good

i believe thier eosophgus is extended and seperated from the throat into the mouth so they can breathe while they are swallowing food, i think alligators have a similar system. and they only have one lung because of thier elongated body doesnt allow for the extra organs.

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.
