Actually, hexapoda was moved taxonomically to be classed as Crustaceans due to new research. The new clade is called Pancrustacea. Insects can now properly be called "terrestrial crustaceans"

I would however like to point out that literally none of the pictured animals are bugs.

You guys keep saying that with such confidence and then post the research that says it definitely contains a significant amount of urine but absolutely doesn't claim that it's literally just pee. They taste different, they smell different, they sometimes but not always have a very different viscosity.

Now you're getting it, human fish fact would be far more technically correct than a cephalopod being there. But fish doesn't have to be a scientific term, just like tomato and cucumber can culinarily be vegetables, so too can a cephalopod be a fish. Just not scientifically. https://youtu.be/hVjSJV0WoDQ scishow did a shorter video on the topic too.

My position is literally that of modern evolutionary biology. Fish is not really an accepted scientific term anymore because it doesn't really mean much. Coelacanths are more closely related to humans than they are to trout, which are more closely related to you and me than they are to sharks. Dolphins, obviously being mammals are much more closely related to us like you said than any of those, but you still can't not classify them as fish. Clint's Reptiles is a great youtube channel made by an evolutionary biologist that does some good crash courses on the modern science if you want to understand it better.

Mammals are tetrapods yes, which fall under lobe finned fish.

Can't evolve out of a clade. Dolphins, and all tetrapods, are lobe finned fish, and bony fish, and jawed fish, and chordates respectively. There is no clade that includes trout and sharks that does not include dolphins, nor is there a clade that includes trout and coelacanths or lungfish that does not include dolphins.

Dolphins are fish, they are Sarcopterygii, lobe finned fish. All lobe finned fish are more closely related to each other than they are to ray finned fish like trout.

Yes, that is how a war typically works. One side attacks, then another side counterattacks. Amazing.

Maybe if they spent more money making it a good experience that respects customers and developers alike and less on bribing platform exclusives they would be better?

I do this too, I'm the only one I know who doesn't think it's weird to do, I'm glad I'm not alone.
