OMG in still confused at this.

"I don't eat animals"

"Do you eat fish?" (My thinking people say they are vegetarian but are actually pescaterian but don't like saying it for some reason)

"Yea but thats not an animal"

"Hahaha yea it is"

"No it isnt"

"Wait what? .. If its not an animal what is it? A tree? Haha"

"It's a fish!"

"Which is an animal"

"No! An animal is an animal, and a fish is a fish!"

"Fish are animals. Look, we can look it up to check if you want"

"I'm not going to look it up because I know a fish isn't an animal. I don't need to look it up!"

"... ... I guess I can't argue with that"

This all took place during pre drinks which is why I thought I was getting fucked with at the start. But I never realised how so many people are walking around blindingly, confidently, unshakeably wrong. She got mad.

It's wild to me... And then to get mad? Like "how dare you make me learn something"

Proud ignorance is basically a religion in the US now.
