Apples and web pundits are basically the same plant, we've just bred apples to have worse typing skills.
I’m pretty sure an apple rolling over a keyboard would produce more coherent output than many pundits.
“This has been today’s lesson in talking about politics on Lemmy”
That counterargument is stupid. Apples have been known since ancient times (in the old world) while potatoes had to be imported from the new world. If they were the same, then their common ancestor would have to have traveled with the first Africans to leave for the Americas way before the invention of agriculture 10000BC.
It's not just stupid, it's false.

We all know the story of Newton sitting under apple vine, right?
Does this person know nothing.
Vegetable is a political (lower case P) term, defined by legislation for tax purposes.
Tomato is clearly a fruit botanically but classified as a vegetable in the United States (and most countries) and is taxed at a lower amount than fruits.
