Top tier title OP
i try
Cuz they are trees
Technically you’re not wrong. Mainly because there’s no agreed upon technical definition of what does or doesn’t constitute a tree.
the definition of tree is literally just something that looks like a tree: a woody trunk with branches.
TIL that trees are the same as vegetables and weeds, arbitrary cultural groupings. We should make an arbitrary cultural group name for arbitrary cultural grouped things!
So far the group is: -Trees -Vegetables -Weeds -Pets -Continents -The culinary use of fruit
Berries, insects
I think both of those have rigid scientific definitions.
Oh yeah. I thought you meant how they are used culturally. Because we have many nok-berries with berry in their name.
Fish
I feel like sports could fit into that pretty well.
Most won't consider it a tree but who am I to judge
Most are wrong then. If you can make toothpicks out of it, it's a tree.
You can make toothpicks out of anything if you're willing to find a hard bit in it that can be sharpened or whittled.
Holds up a chicken. Behold! A tree!
bones are trees? o_o
Nope, that's not how the definition of a tree works. Look at swednek's definition in the comments: it is a woody trunk with branches. There are many other plants you could make toothpicks out of (e.g. that are woody) that aren't trees. For example, shrubs and lianas.
So... Everything is a tree? 🤔
Because there is no such thing ad a tree. A tree is just a way some plants like to grow.
My favorite slightly different perspective today
Every lawn would look like a forest if grass were as tall as bamboo. Every forest would look like grasslands if trees were as tall as grass.
He can't see the forest for the grass.
For me personally it's this damn neighborhood I came across once called Woodfield. Which one is it??! Woods or a field?! I lie awake at night, guys.
