What ever you do, dont tell RFK about raw cockroach milk.
nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 months ago
There are not many times I feel sorry for cockroaches, but setting RFK onto them would be one.
Wilco@lemm.ee 2 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.

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
ArseAssassin@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Cockroach milk is sourced from the Pacific Beetle cockroach, a type of roach that gives birth to live offspring and produces ‘milk’, which it feeds its embryos through a ‘brood sac’ (essentially a cockroach womb). There is, in fact, no actual ‘milking’ involved: scientists need to carve out the cockroach’s gut in order to access the milk, which is in the form of crystals.

That’s somehow even worse than my original mental image. Great work science!

So we could smash those up and snort them, could we not?

Damn. I figured it was just grinded up cockroaches.

Is this acquired similar to how cow milk is or more like almond milk?
Sunsofold@lemmings.world 2 months 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.

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 2 months ago
Bam! Right in the brood sack
RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 months ago
I wondered the same, but do we really want to know?
glitch1985@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just read the other reply and I can now say no I wish I didn’t know.

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