Why is the reptile looking at me like that. What does he know that I don't?

"I could bite clean through your torso and this counter, spit it out and stomp on it before you realize you're dead, but sure, I'm the one that fucked up the app order that clearly states you asked for cold brew and not an Americano, but whatever, I don't get payed enough to kill the stupid customers."

Arguably the shark is not a fish, if by fish you mean Osteichthyes 🐟

Although personally I'm both "a fish is the thing I think of as a fish" and also "we're all fish"

You don't know me! I could be a cartilaginous fish for all you know. (I have to use voice to text because I don't have lobed fins)

Jokes on you, fish don't exist.

Welcome to taxonomical existentialism.

There's no such thing as a fish 🤓 (Edit: which btw is a phenomenally fun podcast by the staff of QI, absolutely worth a listen)

An ichthyosaur I think, although they’ve all been dead for a hot minute (as in tens of millions of years)

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 6 days ago

Sounds more like a cold couple of minutes, but I'm not good at math

What's with land vertebrates and evolving back to the sea?

Endless summer vacation.

Fish looks like he does not approve of those two weirdos edging in on his domain

I like this as a replacement for the Winnie the Pooh tuxedo image macro

Fish looks like me when I have a mandated office day.

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Soooo, fish, fish, and... Ummm... Fish, got it.

I love how every vertebrate is a fish or none are.
