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.

Nobody got punched down, please

That's literally how they setup the joke, they even admit that.

And what are you doubling down on?

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

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Not being rude to strangers for your own personal amusement.

No one cares about the pun.

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.

I get the joke, the person they're being rude to didn't. Simple.
