How is there not a single Futurama reference in the comments? I thought we were all nerds?

Why would cockroaches HAVE milk? They don't nurse young or anything like that

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What ever you do, dont tell RFK about raw cockroach milk.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

He would snort lines of it ... it is crystals after all.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

There are not many times I feel sorry for cockroaches, but setting RFK onto them would be one.

Fundamental commodities for a space game: baobab trees, eels, crystal milk, serfs.

Don't give the Springfield mob any ideas now...

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm kindof a nimby when it comes do giant cockroach farms in my area, please don't scale this up. Don't make "oops 2 billion milkroaches have escaped" a thing.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm calling it. Roach flu, next pandemic.

I would rather drink piss than cokroach milk

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

In libertarian free market you won't even know what you're drinking. Just the prices.

I would rather drink roach milk than cock piss

Milk has many uses.

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Would've been useful knowledge while I was still living in the dorm...

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is this acquired similar to how cow milk is or more like almond milk?

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Popped open the article to find out, and the answer is neither. The 'milk' is crystals collected by cutting open a particular kind of roach and extracting them from its brood sack.

There's a phrase I didn't know I'd be using today.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What a terrible day to be able to read.

Bam! Right in the brood sack

[–] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder what kind of research goes in a lab where someone goes "what if we cut the grub from the pregnant cockroach and test to see it's nutrition content?"

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago

I wondered the same, but do we really want to know?
