What if the caped guy actually named a mighty fish instead of siding with one of two wrong answers?

I love these type of arguments. The idea that only the really stupid and the really smart are right. That the majority is collective stupid.

yeah this is one of my favourite meme formats when done right

Either that or there are no fish at all.

Fish is just a survival strategy. Like trees

I guess Jedi masters consider fish to be a monophyletic group.

Before the Filet-O-Fish, McDonald’s sold “the Hula Burger”, which was a grilled ring of pineapple on a toasted bun. For all the Catholics who practiced “meatless” Fridays. . . .

Turkeys are the most advanced fish?

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

We all came from fish, why can't whales return to fish?

As it should be.
