wtf is wrong with you
Nothing a little cockmilk won’t solve.
how did they grab the roach titties
Where a titty is, there also is a will
Lots of soap needed
Imagine wrangling 2k+ cockroaches for 1 glass of milk a week 😂. Hopefully there are no accidents…
? They already do that for silk dresses.
which species, probably not the ones that are pest. maybe the friendly , “grassfed” ones like Madagascar hissing cockroaches.
I didn’t know cockroaches were mammals. Everyday is a new lesson on Lemmy.
tachinid flies, like tstete fly produces something equivalent to “milk” for its giant baby.
Close, you actually blend them up and strain out the liquid.
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
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 ™️
Yes, same as almond

Yes, but only raw. Suck it straight out of the carapace
more like its cloaca/or ovipositor.
Lister should be grateful for the dog’s milk in hindsight.
Made using the same method as almond milk? Patent pending, of course.
I personally don’t have the time or patience for this, which is why i drink oat milk, oats basically milk themselves
It was the next obvious place.
(Who remembers that banger)

A childhood classic for me
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.
No bugger’ll drink it.
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. 😬
producing it with yeast. 😬
That’s how we do everything.
I mean if it’s artificially made I’d try it
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.
