Folks, is honey a fungus?
Water is neither animal, plant or fungus
edit: uhh also consider snow cones. You know, they're not actually snow, not necessarily a cone, certainly not an animal plant nor fungus

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

Please sir! Part of your rocket that exploded landed on my house, destrying my roof and vapourizing my grandfather
Would you please sign this debris?
No, but this is a blessing in disguise. We offer premium solar rooves that rarely explode, along with a convenient lifetime payment plan.

did he forget about animal products like milk and eggs
"This will make me seem like I have a large IQ and am funny simultaneously."
Also, every alcoholic beverage is a fungus product.
most kinds of bread too lmfao
Plenty of people eat algae (and diatoms), which are neither plants, animals, or fungi, they're chromists. Also, mushrooms aren't the only fungi we eat. Wila and Caribou Lichen are examples of edible lichens, and Morels actually aren't mushrooms.
There are also tons of bacteria and other fungi that are used in the production of food, but I don't think they count directly as food.
If you are into stuff like that: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0119248
Plenty new kingdom and domain classifications happening within the last decade(s).
There is also a lot of cross interactions between them, but for classification it is still somewhat useful and somewhat bad.
However OP's main point of that everything basically belongs to life or side products that we it remains. Even though we also consume stuff like salt, which is not alive.

the fuck are morels then?!
No gills, no pores: not a mushroom. They're actually called Sac fungi.
A gills or pores criterion would exclude mushrooms such as truffles and chanterelles (which have tubes or teeth).
Chantarelles do not have true gills, that's true. I was just trying to be simple with the description of gills. But you're absolutely right that truffles are not mushrooms either. They're an entirely different type of sporocarp.
Taxonomically speaking, though, they're still basidiomycota, same as the "true" gilled mushrooms. I think any reasonable definition of mushroom someone could come up with is going to be para- or polyphyletic and it doesn't hurt to lump in morels, even if they are in a completely different phylum.

the "mushroom" is not the organism, it's the fruiting body of some fungi, basically a reproductive appendage. it's like saying "a butt isn't an animal." they're all fungi, but there are so many types and forms of fungi with different reproductive strategies and forms/structures, even within a single species.
salt is an animal
See? I can say dumb shit too, Elon.
Salt is in batteries. I love eat batteries. Batteries charge my ego tanks. Batteries = vitamins. Salt = vitamins. Vitamins = healthy vegetables. Salt is vegetable. Since you say I'm dumb I eat more batteries and name my next son Rayovac Hertz-Donut Musk.
Interesting. Looking into it.
X is actually a fourth form of life even though we do not eat it. Elon has created a global consciousness network that is more than the sum of its parts. It has its own intelligence and qualities of life.

Honey comes from flowers, Elon, you fucking idiot
Honey comes from Flower + Bee.
And Flower + Bee = Fungus
Portmanteaus have lead me to believe that it should be a flowbee
Honey is literally bee vomit. So it’s a product of animal, like cow milk
It's made from pollen which is part of a: drumroll Plant!
Musk really must sniff his own farts.
It'd be like saying, "bread is not a plant!".
🥛 behold, not an animal but a food, be mystified 
French fries are not potatos.
Moron missed the part where we’re talking about multicellular life and thought we just meant things we eat.

What? Why is it weird that we eat plants and animals and fungus? Is there an interesting observation here that I'm missing and why is the owner and CEO of Twitter involved in this discussion?

fuckin take
I hope Zuck puts him in a coma (and then slips on a banana peel and puts himself in a coma as well).
didn't he literally add editing tweets as a feature?
does that mean this is a ploy to seem relatable?
does he think this is what a joke is?
remember that account that used to pull quotes from ross douthat and put them above images of ralph wiggum? we should do that, here.

I sometimes forget that honey is bee vomit, and that everytime I eat it I'm letting a hive of bees do a Roman shower in my mouth.

Well yeah, we're made of organic matter, we need to take in more organic matter for sustenance. We can only live off of other living, or related to living things.
This is what happens when a failson doesn't have anyone around to ever tell him "no, that's wrong" without fear of being fired.
