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] 3 points 6 days ago

What does that even mean?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

But bugs are a specific branch of insects.

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

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

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. . . .

So witches are fish?

Found the pope's account

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Turkeys are the most advanced fish?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

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

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

As it should be.
