I didn’t know cockroaches were mammals. Everyday is a new lesson on Lemmy.
Close, you actually blend them up and strain out the liquid.
That would definitely be easier than trying to milk them twice a day…
Indeed. Each roach is milked 1 (one) time
they should brand it DEATHMILK and color it with charcoal
Fightmilk! For bodyguards ™️
From what I remember, the original study was indeed about cockroach “milk”, from a species that births live babies and feeds them a slurry of crystals and proteins. That slurry is the stuff that is technically more “nutritious”
I don’t think anyone is actually trying to get humans to consume the stuff. There are a lot of mammals that produce milk that is more nutrient dense than cow milk, it’s just not as easy to collect it + theres little reason to do so
Yes, same as almond
I don’t like almond milk, but I’d prefer almond milk. But I also don’t drink cow milk, only soy milk.
tachinid flies, like tstete fly produces something equivalent to “milk” for its giant baby.
how did they grab the roach titties
Lots of soap needed
Where a titty is, there also is a will
It was the next obvious place.
Does this mean we’re going to start breeding cockroaches for breast size?
we’ll have to start calling them titroaches.
I’m holding out for boobjobroahes.
They have to kill the mothers. It’s nowhere near a practical food. One estimate suggested you’d need around a thousand roaches to get about 100 grams of crystals. The more realistic idea scientists floated was sequencing the genes behind the protein and producing it with yeast. 😬
I mean if it’s artificially made I’d try it
producing it with yeast. 😬
That’s how we do everything.
I’d support killing a thousand roaches. For science.
Many people just support the killing without the science, but the thought of having to do that instead of milking the teets kills my roach dairy dreams.

Roaches have nipples? Greg, I’m talking to you.
How do you milk them?
Think milk made in the same manner as almond milk or soymilk
Don’t tell this to RFK Jr.
Too late, he’s balls deep already.
Mandatory for all public school meals if they want funding. RFK Jr milks the roaches himself to ensure the highest nutritional content.

I’ll just drink four times as much milk.
Just drink evaporated milk.
Horchata ftw
Just drink evaporated milk.
I’ve tried, but it’s gone by the time I get a glass!
Theyre trying to steal my morning gallon and i wont have it.
GOMAD.
Yeah, how about no
Gotta suck on that cock
with you on that
#milkmaxxing
The scientists that tested it can have it all for themselves, I’ll even give them a free pass to lord it over us cow milk drinking peons.
Three words: Roach Crème fraise
Creem Freeeeeeeeesh
Cockroach Creem Freesh!!
Iced roach cream made into a roach milkshake using even more roach milk, topped with whipped roach cream.
Okay so… One species of cockroach DOES produce “milk” but its the Pacific beetle cockroach (Diploptera punctata)
They secrete the “milk” into the brood sack (uterus-like pouch housing embryos).
Yummy
The worst part is it might be legit yummy.
