we all have 'em. those tiny, insignificant battles of opinion that you’ll stubbornly defend to your last breath, even though they literally do not matter one bit. i’m talking about the truly petty stuff. like, i firmly believe that cereal is a soup. fight me.
A liquid isn’t milk if it didn’t pass through a nipple. Soy, oat, almond… they’re OK, but they’re not milk.
Fun fact! The word milk has been used for plant-based liquids and saps since at least the 14th century.
Die away upon your hill, but historical and popular usage disagree with you :P
I believe platypuses (platypi?) and/or echidnas don’t have nipples but instead sweat out milk. Doesn’t that count as milk then?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus -> ecology -> reproduction
that absolutely should not count as milk and I’m upset that I’m now cursed with this knowledge
Not so much cursed as just cool evolution. We can trace nipples producing milk to specialized sweat glands, isn’t that cool?
*raises hand lactose intolerantly* can we make it cost less if we give up the “-milk” label?
As a fellow lactose intolerant who was raised on soy “milk”, I say it should be cheaper just by virtue of how horrible it is.
i like superheated steam treated (Silk, Westsoy, Trader Joe’s) and freshly made Asian style
but if it’s not treated nor fresh, lipoxygenase wreaks havoc on the oils and makes it godawful yeah
You didn’t specify a biological nipple.
I can make any kind of milk pass through some type of nipple.
Grease nipple
What about crop milk? Or milk of magnesia?
Hope scientists prove you wrong one day. Discovery of almond titties are a Nobel prize waiting to happen.
