What a nicely packaged little subthread to come across while decompressing after a super busy day, lol!
Comment on On trees...
Devmapall@lemm.ee 4 days agoTo add on for anyone who is lazy like me, the thing were Google summarizes says California has classified bees as fish under an environmental protection act. According to the first result (Reddit) it’s because fish is a catch all term in that law. Instead of listing all the animals they just use fish. Because fish,bees, and the other animals are all invertebrates.
Now whoever reads this has three Lemmy comments, a reddit thread reference, and an ai overview reference as some solid sources

Source?
Because all the sources I’ve come across say that “fish” is not a monophylatic classification and is essentially arbitrary.
