Humans are mammals, Sparky. Fish and mammals are completely different and distinct classes of animals. Again, this is basic biology. For instance, dolphins are mammals and not fish.

Repeating stupid shit doesn't make the stupid shit any less dumb. If anything, it makes them more idiotic for the duplication.

Someone asked if humans have gills. We do early in development as we shared an evolved development pathway with fish.

Guess what that means for "gamete types"?

Go on brainiac. Tell me. Which these creatures does not have exactly two gamete types.

During early stages of development, humans have ovotestes, and so they lack gametes just as much as they possess gills.

"Gamete type" isn't a meaningful term, either.

I am afraid it is. We see two very different type. Large, resource rich and immotile. Few are produced with large parental investment in them. Very small (a million times smaller), resource poor and motile. Parents invest almost nothing in each individual gamete.

"We see two very different type." Erudite!

They asked it in a separate line of thinking that has nothing to do with platypuses and your inability to understand a joke or to apply basic biology to the what the platypus is.

I am messing with people who claim to understand biology. Anyone who understood biology would know about clades and what I was doing. There is an interesting thing to discuss there. But you and the others here are pretenders. Ideologically warped to reject actual science.

Clearly by pretending to be a person who doesn't understand biology or jokes for that matter.

The platypus was not intended just to be a joke. It was a stupidity offered as an insight under the guise of a joke.

The reference to it being a bird was a joke though, Lenny. You addressed it as being a serious assertion rather than addressing the underlying message that bringing up a platypus was meant to do.

Everyone has been triggered. They thought they knew biology. They do not.

Why are you referring to yourself in the third person? And in plural?
aug 26, 2025, 9:54 pm • 2 0 • view
And now you show a failure to understand the difference between "triggered" and "unbelieving exasperation." Triggered requires strong overwhelming emotional or physical reactions to your statements. Unless someone has been laughing uncontrollably to your skeets, no one has been triggered here.

Fish are currently considered to be paraphyletic rather than a monophyletic clade.

In a really stupid cladistic way which no one would ever actually use because see prior, all mammals are lobe finned fish. So are all amphibians, reptiles, and birds for that matter.
aug 26, 2025, 9:23 pm • 12 0 • view
Indeed. Cladistics highlights shared common ancestors and relatedness. It is a classification system based on the reality of evolution rather than the arbitrary grouping of features..

My girl, now you just sound like you’re copying and pasting from an LLM. If it weren’t for the sloppy punctuation I’d assume you were a bot.

I see you have no actual response.
aug 26, 2025, 9:35 pm • 0 0 • view
Response to what? Your reply was a regurgitated fact tangential to the actual topic. There’s no thing to reply to, except to point out that the fact is exactly the kind of response you’d expect from an LLM that didn’t understand the topic.

Unless the bot was instructed to use sloppy punctation occasionally. That can be done, right?

That's just some extremely basic, Peterson-tier sophistry. Like...the kind of thing that'd score you some points on a middle school debate team, MAYBE.

Because it would means that there are no differences from any of them. Especially since all life on earth comes from the same ancestor being single-celled organisms.

Yep. If you extend it beyond just "fish" it gets REALLY silly.

No it does not. We are all chordates for example.
aug 26, 2025, 9:33 pm • 0 0 • view
Yes it does. You are mixing up two different ways of classification and calling that a "gotcha". It can sound impressive to someone who doesn't know any of this but it really just makes you look dumb to anyone with more than the most basic knowledge of the matter.

Wait until we get to the “we’re all carbon-based life forms” assertion.
