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.
Humans? Hello?
…I said animals? Hello?
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.
