Culinary categories mix biological types all the time - tomato (a fruit), mushroom (a fungus), seaweed (an algae) - yet all are treated as vegetables in cooking.

You're falling into a logic trap by using an overly narrow definition of 'vegetable'. A vegetable is best understood as a plant or plant-like food used in savoury dishes - and that includes mushrooms, even though they're not biologically plants.

Since 'vegetable' is a culinary term, not a scientific one, it’s not valid to reverse that and argue that mushrooms must be plants just because they're vegetables.

I think Skyrim feels more alive because you can talk to every NPC and most of them have unique conversations.

Most NPCs in CP2077 are animated decorations.

In everyday conversation, mushroom is considered to be a vegetable. Even I would call that a vegetable. But I have never heard anyone (in everyday conversation) calling mushroom a plant.

By the way, strawberries are not technically nuts. They are actually considered an aggregate accessory fruit.

That’s syllogism.

Just because it is considered a vegetable in culinary terms, doesn’t make it a plant in biological classification.

Your quote says not a plant.

Same here. Lemmy is almost unusable if I browse by all.

Probably easier to fix than performing certain brain surgeries.
