mammals produce milk and have hair

ergo, a coconut is a mammal

i know you're being facetious but this is an actual issue with morphology-based phylogeny

what are you talking about

that human ability to quantify and categorize natural phenomena is sketchy at best and wildly misleading at worst

this reminds me of the time plato defined humans as "featherless bipeds" and diogenes ran in with a plucked chicken screaming "behold a man"

i love how you say "this reminds me of the time" like you were there

listen if an immortal feels brave and supported enough to come out we should respect them

zeus: *hits joint* okay so like it's gonna have a duck bill, but an otter body, okay?

and a beaver tail

oh and it's a mammal

but lays eggs

hades: wait wait dude

give it poison

make it poisonous

athena: you mean venomous, and make sure the eggs have both reptile and bird traits

poseidon: it should be aquatic

demeter: and where exactly do you expect me to put this

everyone: australia
