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.
