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

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

2070 certainly will be.

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

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 30 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Greg@lemmy.ca 45 points 2 years ago

I didn’t expect to see targeted content on Lemmy

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 42 points 2 years ago

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 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

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

[-] phx@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 years ago

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

[-] glitch1985@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 36 points 2 years ago

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.

What a terrible day to be able to read.

[-] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 14 points 2 years 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?"

[-] meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Bam! Right in the brood sack

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] glitch1985@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Just read the other reply and I can now say no I wish I didn't know.

[-] nectar45@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 years ago

I would rather drink piss than cokroach milk

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

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

Who's Greg? You mean Gaylord. Gaylord Focker

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

I definitely assume that Palmetto Cheese is just ground-up palmetto bugs.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 2 points 2 years ago

And somehow, just as disgusting

[-] houstoneulers@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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