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

[–] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

But bugs are a specific branch of insects.

There's no such thing as a fish

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