What's this thing with people claiming tomatoes are vegetables? It's got seeds in it

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago (10 children)

I mean, that it's a terrible definition of vegetable, considering it rules out a very large amount of vegetables, including tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplants and cucumbers.

You can apply that to pretty much any categorization we make for the natural world.

The natural world doesn't care for our categorizations or social construct. It can, and will, make shit that just does not fit to any of our boxes, and like it!

Man: mammals have live births and give milk through breasts (technically mammary glands, though most expect nipples)

World: have you met my friend the platypus?

Ah yes, the semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action. A key part of god's fight against those who demand everything be neatly categorized into simple boxes

Also OWACA's fight against... incompetent villians?
