      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 definitely did not think they were being rude, and thought their reply was hilarious.

          Sometimes I reply with these bland and lifeless replies, knowing full goddamn well what the OP is saying, just to get the conversation juices flowing. This one went great till I noticed all the downvotes 😵

            Your dogshit diaphragm joke is a pun. Whatever that jumble of shit is would be word salad.

              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.

                  And what are you doubling down on?

                  There’s so many silly puns out there, your job must be exhausting!

                    Not being rude to strangers for your own personal amusement.

                    No one cares about the pun.
