Humans and potatoes are basically the same, precursor gods just bred humans to be cuter. Why is one animal and the other plant?

Consider the cows bred to give chocolate milk. We consider *them* fruits just because the milk is sweeter.
-
... and *that* is why GMO has to be banned, and all the knowledge about it must be purged from all the books and archives!
-
Concern about GMOs seems really overblown, humanity has been using CRISPR/Cas-9 since dawn of agriculture.
-
dawn of agriculture is a hoax, why would anyone ever believe that? Scientists found proof in the africanian permaforest!

Huh? Botanically, and in culinary use, they are obviously very distinct. Even nutritionally, it's starch vs. sugars.
-
Botanically, an apple is a potato with more sugar and a shinier peel. They grow on similar vines and are often interbred.
-
Same order in different families; they seem about as related as lemurs and chimpanzees... (And culinary & nutrition is diff.)
-
Wait, no. They are very diff botanically as well. They are different orders - but they are both Eudicots.
-
(And I notice I'm very confused by this conversation.)

who wasn't a confused potato once

Bullshit. An apple doesn't come close to clearing the neighborhood around its orbit, which makes it by definition not a fruit.

I think I get this. I was wondering today why the media bothers to be even as honest as they are.
-
if they just totally made up whatever shit they felt like, it would make no practical difference, yet they mostly just mislead.
-
anyway that was on my mind. Perhaps
@ESYudkowsky is making some completely different point. Or is confused about potatoes.
