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

[โ€“] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 27 points 10 months ago

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

[โ€“] Wilco@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

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

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.

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

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

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

[โ€“] glitch1985@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 34 points 10 months 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.

[โ€“] glitch1985@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

What a terrible day to be able to read.

[โ€“] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 12 points 10 months 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?"

Bam! Right in the brood sack

I would rather drink piss than cokroach milk

[โ€“] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

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