>Uhm ackshually I think you'll find spiders are arachnids not insects

Yeah they're insects. Unless you're an entomologist or an arachnologist I don't want to hear it. For all practical purposes they're an insect
>>
>>5137125
spiders are fish

There's no such thing as a species. Every single birth is a new mutation.

The most soijak thing you could have said lol
>>
>>5137125
spiders are bugs alongside insects
insects are 6 legged bugs
bugs is the term you're wanting to use because it's not scientifically rigorous (unless you're referring to true bugs, which is a specific group of insects)
>>
>>5137125
Still bugs all the same.

I bet you also call apes "monkeys"
Fucking retard
>>
>>5137172
>THEY HAVE HECKIN 8 LEGS NOT 6 THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!
They aren't, unless you're a scientist studying these creatures I don't want to hear it. Same with apes and monkeys

>Two things that are completely different (dolphins can't even breathe underwater) are the same as two things that are virtually identical

Why are you so bad at Reductio Ad Absurdum? You don't even know the difference between insects and spiders beyond "spiders have 8 legs"
>>
>>5137298
you dont get it. if spiders and insects are "virtually identical" to you, you can make the same point about fish and whales or even plants and mushrooms. saying retarded shit like this marks you as a literal retard, who is yapping about shit he doesnt know anything about.
>well they only have 2 legs more, so there is no difference
being this fucking stupid, you should honestly just kys. like honestly, there is no hope for you. I already know what you are going to respond you fucking moron. just quit yapping
>>
>>5137296
The board is so consistently retarded there's no way to distinguish ironic stupidity
>>
>>5137125
Are lobsters insects too?
>>
>>5137350
ikr. there are people here who think cats should roam. total retards holding literal medieval peasant delusions. i wouldnt be surprised if half of /an/ were flat earth/micronova/climate change denial tards from /pol/.

fair enough. I took the bait

>>5137349
>you can make the same point about fish and whales
No you can't
Try again, take a deep breath before posting

>>5137298
Dolphins have more in common with sharks than spiders have with insects.
>>
>>5137125
>t. can't count past six.
>>
>>5137363
Its literally the same retarded argument.
>well to ME, there is no difference between them, therefor they are the same
>spiders are little creepy crawlies with lots of legs like ants and beetles so they must be insects
>dolphins swim in the ocean and have fins so they must be fish
You have a childlike "understanding" of cladistics
>>
>>5137363
Case in point. Also, you didnt understand the assignment
>>
>>5137125
The fact alone, that they dont even have the same amount of limbs, should tell you, that they are very different animals. Also what "practical purposes" are you talking about?
>>
>>5137125
They're bugs not insects
>>
>>5137419
>>spiders are little creepy crawlies with lots of legs like ants and beetles so they must be insects
Correct
>>dolphins swim in the ocean and have fins so they must be fish
Incorrect, those niggers can't breathe and there's a few man eating sharks or giant shark
>>
>>5137426
It's just a gotcha for redditors to feel smarter about themselves. Again unless you're actually studying them and know the indepth differences between Ok fair enough but most people don't
