Comment on In SpongeBob, Sandy Cheeks is way more closely related to Pearl and the fish than she is to anyone else in the main cast

  Yup! You’ll be happy to know, though, that amphibians (class Amphibia), mammals (class Mammalia), birds (class Avia), and reptiles (class Reptilia) all have their own pigeonholes.

  What you won’t be happy to know is that a lot of things that are called “shrimp” aren’t actually shrimp. Shrimp are specifically the decapod infraorder Caridea. Anything else – presented in order of decreasing relatedness – like prawns (decapod suborder Dendrobranchiata), amphipods (order Amphipoda), or mantis shrimp (order Stomatopoda) are not shrimp.

    You may (or may not) be surprised to learn this, but the accuracy of shrimp taxonomy actually has very little bearing on my personal happiness…

    A salmon is more related to, say, a camel than it is to a hagfish.

    I don’t like that one bit.

      • A bee is more closely related to a hermit crab than it is to a spider (arthropod subphylum Crustacea). A spider is more closely related to a horseshoe crab than it is to a bee (arthropod subphylum Chelicerata).
      • A deer is more closely related to a killer whale (order Artiodactyla) than it is to a human (order Primates).

        So fish are like trees, they look somewhat similar but are completely different

  We're basically fish, we just carry our own salty water around in skinsacks.

  Also, all naturally occuring ice is basically rocks, and obviously molten rocks are lava, so we're carrying lava in our bodies, which makes us lava monsters.

  Also also, your (and mine) digestive system is just a tube of outside inside our bodies, so we are torus-shaped fish lava monsters.

  You're welcome.

  Hank Green did a great video about this on his channel recently.
