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.

    I believe platypuses (platypi?) and/or echidnas don’t have nipples but instead sweat out milk. Doesn’t that count as milk then?

    With no teats, the milk is released through pores in the skin from which the young lap it up in her fur

      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?
