No, but you can teach a man to throw a fish to defeat a drone....

From the perspective of phylogenetics, if you believe that all trout species and all shark species should be called "fish", then all mammals are also fish, including you.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah. Fuck paraphyletic groups!

What is a concept of fish (and would the fish agree to it)?

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I dunno, do you agree to it?

Those very important veins in your neck are where your gills used to be.

I'm pretty sure you actually have them briefly in utero before they close up once the umbilical chord is delivering enough oxygen.

once the umbilical chord is delivering enough oxygen.

Are you just trying to insult my mother? She has never given me any such ... stuff. Only the best beer, always!

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Something between 2 and 17.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I never thought about it like that.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

That's why I'm a handsomely paid consultant, and you're not.

I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Shit, I didn't know you liked to get wet. But I understand the fish thing now.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The part that always puzzled me was.....why is only ONE of the number 45s with cheese, if they're all for him?

[–] SirBucksworth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t believe in fish. They‘re just actors hired by the government. Wake up, sheeple!

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Wake up, fishpole !

[–] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You're asking me to train someone else how to make an entire species extinct? For what purpose???

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

To see if it will impact the trout populations most likely

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No like how to defeat the concept of fish. Think of a fish, and then think about how to think about defeating that thought. You have to defeat the concept of the thing.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

defeating that thought

Now it gets real fishy. You're making progress!

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

youre going to need some nonsense like religion to accomplish this feat of ignorance

[–] boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fish as a verb or noun or adjective? That's what I thought nerd
