Fish is just a survival strategy. Like trees

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

Chronologically, fish is bugs

What does that even mean?

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.

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. . . .

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

[–] vonxylofon 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Call me Ishmael.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Turkeys are the most advanced fish?

[–] FilthyShrooms 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago
