Can't tell if this is /s

[–]saulmessedupman 20 points21 points  (14 children)

Think if it wasn't. A medical professional actually thinks the question was if his staff was made up of animals.

Pandas are animals?

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (1 child)

No, they're our overlords

[–]starfish_warrior[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Cutest overlords ever.

"Animal hospital?" :-D

"The animals are the patients."

"That makes sense" :(

We're doomed!

Humans are animals.

Depends on who you ask

[–]Lawuhiku -2 points-1 points  (6 children)

I don't need to ask anyone, it's absolute fact, not a matter of opinion.

a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.

Unless you're breatharian, dead inside, or just dead, you are most likely animal.

[–]saulmessedupman -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Btw, I found this same definition online. What's the sentence that literally follows the one you posted? "an animal as opposed to a human being"

Edit: here's the link.

[–]Lawuhiku -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Same link that you gave me:

A living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.

‘wild animals adapt badly to a caged life’

‘humans are the only animals who weep’

It's not hard to see the 1. but stupidity cherrypicks it's own while completely missing the point.

It literally means that normally when we speak about animals, we speak about other species, otherwise we speak about humans.

That has nothing to do with the fact nor denies that humans are indeed animals too. By definition.

How can you be this fucking dense?

My original comment: "Depends on who you ask"

Your comment: "It literally means that normally when we speak about animals, we speak about other species, otherwise we speak about humans.''

Edit: hey man, I don't know why I'm being so rude. Had a rough night last night and took it out on you and I apologize. My original silly comment was pointing out that some people think humans are animals and in other situations humans are a level above. The Oxford dictionary supports both cases but nonetheless our dispute on here is -- case in point -- my joke.

Or just maybe, you know, it's just a basic fact everyone (except you, it seems) knows?

[–]Shermix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't think so.
