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.
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.
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?"

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

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

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

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

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?

Nothing like snorting a fresh line of crystalized cockroach gut milk in the morning to start the day off right 🥰
_stranger_@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
snorting is so...21st century.

Snort milk every day

Damn. I figured it was just grinded up cockroaches.

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