        I don’t have the tools to know how to respond to this comment. You win.

        Edit: Holy shit. I just did a quick google. Boydster is not shitting us. Just google “bees are fish.” Oddly enough, this actually furthers the thesis of fish not existing.

          To add on for anyone who is lazy like me, the thing where Google summarizes says California has classified bees as fish under an environmental protection act. According to the first result (Reddit) it’s because fish is a catch all term in that law. Instead of listing all the animals they just use fish. Because fish,bees, and the other animals are all invertebrates.

          Now whoever reads this has three Lemmy comments, a reddit thread reference, and an ai overview reference as some solid sources

            What a nicely packaged little subthread to come across while decompressing after a super busy day, lol!

          This is the best way I’ve ever seen utter befuddlement expressed. Chapeau!

          This is like the whole, “triceratops didn’t exist, it’s just a young Torosaurus” thing all over again. My world can’t handle this!

        A large variety of aquatic phylogeny that is edible and nutritious for a carnivorous aquatic mammalian diet.

        Admittedly it’s going to be harder to put into a show tune, but I’m sure they’ll come up with some catchy names.
