Apart from children, who usually don’t snore. People have told me I don’t snore at all. No one has told me I do and I even recorded myself asleep once.

That is so untrue is approaches absurdity.
Edit: Now, if you’d said something about apnea rather than snoring, it would be only mildly inaccurate.
Overweight people are more likely to snore because excess fat around the neck and throat can narrow the airway, increasing resistance to airflow and causing vibration during sleep.
So how exactly is that ‘absurd’ lmao?
That’s not what you said before
That’s what you said.
If you had said that obesity increases the probability of snoring, that would be accurate. If you said that a higher percentage of overweight or obese people snore, that would have been accurate. But that’s not what you said
Overweight and obese people do have a higher percentage of all snoring people, particularly when the snoring is more severe. But that’s also not what you said.
You said that “most” as in at least half by any standard issue usage of the term, people don’t snore unless they’re overweight. That doesn’t match incidence rates, and it’s phrased in a misleading way.
There’s even some early indications that snoring may be causative to overweight and obesity, or at least make people more prone to it. Which makes sense in a lot of ways, but isn’t really directly relevant to either of your comments
Look, maybe you thought it was just an offhand comment. And it definitely read like you put zero thought into it, and that’s okay. Nobody has to be detailed every damn time they make a comment. But, if you’re going to throw out low effort comments about medical issues, you gotta also be okay when people come along and object. Shit is important; there’s people that don’t think they snore at all, because they don’t fit what they think snoring is. Then they spend years ignoring what’s actually apnea, and is fucking up their body.
So misinformation like your offhand comment merits a low effort counter comment. At least then the one skinny dude that’s going to end up with cardiovascular or cardiopulmonary issues from apnea at least doesn’t ignore their issue because they aren’t fat. Which isn’t some random unlikely occurrence. There are people that genuinely think that they can’t have apnea because they aren’t overweight at all
Most people don’t have sleep apnea or a medical condition that causes snoring.
Most people are overweight.
Hence, most you encounter won’t snore unless they’re overweight. Medical conditions are the exceptions to the rule, I didn’t say ‘People can’t snore unless they’re overweight’, which is what you seem to be assuming oddly.
You really aren’t bright at all
Rich coming from someone who can’t read.
