Wait, whales are bees?

Either that or there are no fish at all.

Fish is just a survival strategy. Like trees

Fish didn't independently evolve that strategy so mammals are fish.

Chronologically, fish is bugs

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

What does that even mean?

[–] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

But bugs are a specific branch of insects.

There's no such thing as a fish

[–] prex@aussie.zone 1 points 13 hours ago

First birds, now fish. It feels like the dead internet is leaking into reality.

Sure, that's why you are allowed to eat beaver during fasting season

I love these type of arguments. The idea that only the really stupid and the really smart are right. That the majority is collective stupid.

yeah this is one of my favourite meme formats when done right

What if the caped guy actually named a mighty fish instead of siding with one of two wrong answers?

Before the Filet-O-Fish, McDonald’s sold “the Hula Burger”, which was a grilled ring of pineapple on a toasted bun. For all the Catholics who practiced “meatless” Fridays. . . .

Ummmm. Sssssorry.

ducks, well known fish

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

Turkeys are the most advanced fish?

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

I guess Jedi masters consider fish to be a monophyletic group.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

We all came from fish, why can't whales return to fish?

[–] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 day ago

As it should be.
