Fish is not meat, but it's also not vegetarian
The American Meat Science Association defines meat as red meat (beef, pork, and lamb), poultry, fish/seafood, and meat from other managed species (AMSA, 2017).
Fish, by definition, is meat.
Other simpler definitions around the world sinply say "flesh of an animal". At that point, you're arguing that fish isn't an animal.

the fundamental physics thingymcgee (idk how to call it and entity feels wrong)
Your not wrong, "thingymcgee" is the technical term but it's still a social construct just like gravity.

Are you suggesting that if even one human lacks this biological impulse to protect their children, we can't say that humans generally have a biological impulse to protect their children? That's absurd. And isn't this point entirely moot with regards to people who do have that in-built instinct?

Social constructs aren't practical.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Not hitting dumdums on the head with a hammer whenever they say something silly is a social construct.
Hitting dumdums on the head with a hammer when they do could also be a social construct.
The usefulness of either method might be disputed by some but that there is practical social and individual value in not being murdered for a bad take should be obvious.
The criticism of "that's just a social construct" is not that it is one and is therefore meaningless, but that being a construct means it could be flawed.

Typically those are mammals with larger litters and shorter gestational periods. Human offspring are too resource intensive to be widely used as decoys.
This is a weird conversation.
That's because you had a bad take that illogically separates the biological demands of organisms and their communities from aspects of social organization
There is no separation, social behaviors are also adaptations to the environment.

Wait till you find out that some places around the world think fish meat does not count as meat and is vegetarian
I have no problem believing that every society has ludicrous cultural vestiges that can undoubtedly be traced back to a religious practice. For example, some Pope might declare that fish isn't meat based on an example of linguistic sophistry to protect the fishing industry.
