Yea humans are animals lmao
No they aren't roflcopter
Shit guess I’m a plant then. I’m genuinely curious what in the world makes you think this for a second.
Ditto
Literal science? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_taxonomy?wprov=sfti1#Homo_sapiens_subspecies Kingdom: Animalia. The scientific literacy on Lemmy is astounding
Science is not the same as colloquial speech. Literally no one uses the word that way outside of a scientific setting.
Also I'm not using Lemmy so maybe don't pretend to be a pedantic authority on terminology while being so confidently incorrect.
Goalpost: moved. Meaningless anecdote: used. You were literally talking about animal behavior that is inherently a scientific endeavor, saying no animal does that behavior besides orcas and saying “humans don’t count” is just wrong. You don’t get to choose colloquialism as a convenient out. I’m not sure what you’re trying to defend here. You’re adverse to humans being called animals? I don’t know why you’d think we’re so special if that’s the case.
Literally none of that happened. Has anyone ever told you that you're an incredibly and needlessly combative and pedantic person?
