Why do people think gills are the nose?

Well, the water enters the gills via the mouth...so obviously it would smoke using it's mouth to inhale and gills to exhale smoke, making option 1 the only answer.

How could a fish smoke underwater?

That just raises more questions!

Perhaps his existential crisis is a real "fish out of water" moment

Obviously it leaves the water for a cigarette break. Have you never seen fish smoking on the river bank?

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

If you understood how badly Big Tabacco wants to get rich, you would not ask that question.

I’ve been a smoker since 1993.

I just wanna know how to smoke underwater

[-] Natanael@infosec.pub 1 points 10 hours ago

With oxygenated fuel in the cigarettes. Wrap a storm matchstick in it.

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

They don't care how long you've been smoking, I guess it has more to do with how much money you have. Maybe they figured out they can't suck you any more dry then you already are. Or they dont think you would spend enough to justify the R&D. Because i am quite sure, if people would not spend money for abovewater cigs but would for underwater cigs, they would find a way to make money from that.

It's 2026. I I'm no Ichthyologists, but I think they'd be vaping.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

hey everyone this dude's three ichtyologists in a trench coat get 'em!

[-] mrfriki@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago

I mean, do you put your cigarettes on your mouth or in your nostrils?

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago
[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

The cool way

[-] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 6 points 16 hours ago

Do you smoke through your nose?

If I remember correctly, fishes actually "breath" water through their mouth, and then pump it through their gills to extract the oxygen.

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Not really the same thing...

[-] J3N5T4R@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

There is another hole you failed to consider.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 12 hours ago

Ah yes the ear hole, surely that is what you meant:-P.

[-] Natanael@infosec.pub 2 points 10 hours ago

Dolphins smoke from their neck

[-] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 4 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Definitely 1 cause the carp strikes me as a fish that wants to look cool.
