I agree. With same logic:

  • Water is not mercury
  • Water is liquid
  • Liquid is mercury
  • Water is mercury
[-] L1to@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

Not all liquids are, or come from mercury, while all tretapods come from fishes. So that logic doesn't work.

I agree. All animals and plants are single celled.

[-] wanderer@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

'Single celled' is a characteristic, not a lineage. Organisms don't necessarily have the same characteristics as their ancestors.

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 0 points 4 months ago

You're seriously splitting hairs about lineage when you know humans are obviously not fish.

[-] wanderer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

A species can not evolve out of a clade. I am not splitting hairs, I am simply accepting cladistics classification as valid.

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 1 points 4 months ago

I am simply accepting cladistics classification as valid.

Obviously you are not, since fish are not considered a monophyletic group.

[-] shasta@lemm.ee -1 points 4 months ago

Yes but "mammals are tetrapods" is the incorrect one

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

That would explain why water is so deadly. 100% of people that drink water will die

[-] Fogle@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

But not 100% of people who died have drunk water

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

But their bodies contained water(possibly inherited from parent, who were addicted to water)
