Wait, whales are bees?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

What does that even mean?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

But bugs are a specific branch of insects.

There's no such thing as a fish

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

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

One of my favorite podcasts

Except beavers.

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

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. . . .

. . . Is this the aiop communi- . . Oh.

Ummmm. Sssssorry.

Turkeys are the most advanced fish?

If it swims, it's a fish

Found the pope's account

ducks, well known fish

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 21 hours ago
