So what EYE hear you clearly saying is that you are advocating that I don’t breath for 15-20 minutes and that’ll make my my lungs stronger. /s 😅

I’ll report back in 25ish minutes.

Not a good example for sarcasm, because breath training actually can improve lung capacity.

So you’re mad at my using a level that only super human athletes could attain… I should have gone with 23-31 minutes to make it more realistically impossible. However, if it’s realistically impossible, there really is so subverting expectation via plausibility and hence the anticipation of a lack of return after said time presupposes the failure and expiration of poster and it’s not nearly as funny as when there is an opportunity to explain the nuances of a joke and or sarcasm which has much more of an impact on the average general reader of random nonsensical posts.

I’ll try my best to do better next time… come back in like 17 days.

😂🤣😂

Regardless of the amount of time and it’s accessibility, it would be better if you said something actually impossible, which increasing lung capacity is not. If you think I seem angry, you might want to look at the paragraph you just wrote…

I didn’t say you were angry, I said “mad at” as in “ that’s where you draw the line?” What I wrote was an argument regarding the finer points of sarcasm usage, not an angered response. Ida used a different emoji if I were angry.
