And I’m a fish. But that’s not very helpful.

Believing people who say that sort of thing about the meaning of perfectly cromulent words like "fish", "bird", and "berry" is like going to the butcher shop to learn about horsemanship.

I'm going with "dinosaurs are dinosaurs!"

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Now that's just silly.

Some dinosaurs were fish. Therefore you're a dinosaur.

Technically? All dinosaurs are fish. You are a fish. But you are not a dinosaur.
