I admit I second guessed myself before hitting “reply” so I googled it to be sure, and they are indeed classified as reptiles!

6226

No, I had to look it up myself.

My mind is blown by this Wikipedia article.

6227

This is one reason why many parrot owners (myself included) refer to their birds as their “little dinosaurs”. ;)

6228

I mean, yes to little dinosaurs, but I always thought Reptiles where one of the separate animal kingdoms
Mammals, Birds, Insects, Amphibians, Fish, reptiles and so forth.

Now I am learning that most crabs are not crabs, that fish aren’t a single thing at all but all kinds of different branches of animals that just decided to evolve in the same way, and that everything under the sun is a reptile.

And that is on top of Dinosaurs being warm blooded and possibly feathered (although that I have been learning about in starts and stops for a while).

That idea that Reptiles is such a vague classification as to include both Dinosaurs, Birds and Lizards… Well, it can’t be its own kingdom anymore then.

You mean “class” not Kingdom btw - Kingdom is two steps up from class in the classification heirarchy

Ever since hearing birds were “dinosaurs” I look at the blue jays in my yard differently.

He has to know what that means right? Right?

6233

Poor Joe, I like him, but sometimes he’s just an old dude who can’t keep up with all the bullcrap.

6234

The last thing that deserves a single neuron of space in Biden’s head is whatever bullshit traitorous cowards are memeing about.

6235

It’s a shame that I don’t really remember this perfectly, but animal, plant, bacteria, the old thingy where the weird stuff is, Archaea? and fungi?

6236

This is the genus thread now.

6237

I am a stable genus. :)

6238

But are you a fun guy?

6239

Why of course I… um… leave the guys in my shower out of this.

6240

Oh, try as you must, I guarantee there are some fun guys in your tub.

6241

Well they were fun guys. Until the nitric acid.

Did I say that out loud?

6242

Hard fetish confirmed. No fungi in Rich’s tub.

6243

Well… on my off weeks… Occasionally.

The current WoW expansion is shit, but one of the highlights is a mushroom NPC. If you grind his quests to exalted you’re awarded with the title of Fun Guy or Fun Gal.
