Yeah one thing you notice about the ocean is the teeth are designed so if you catch something it can't get away. Look at anglerfish and baleen. White sharks have hundreds of teeth. Most omnivorous land mammals have teeth just like ours.

This is just a bad comparison, but it is funny.

The joke is making fun of people who call us carnivores, though. Our teeth are very different from land carnivores, as well.

Again, humans don't kill with their teeth like land carnivores do.

I understand that, but my point was that we aren't carnivores at all, we are omnivores.

I am not vegan FWIW, I was just responding to the person who was saying that comparing us to sea carnivores was a bad comparison, when comparing us to land carnivores yields the same results. It seemed kind of like they missed the point of the joke which was to make fun of people who wrongly call us carnivores, especially as a response to veganism.

It was all kind of useless pedantry on my part, anyways, so I apologize.
