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

Rimmer was right!

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.

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

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Well, neither option is helpful.
