Mammals use boob-juice to raise their offspring. That's why they are called that.
As opposed to e.g. birds that don't use boob-juice and instead elect to vomit in their offspring's ingestion orifices.
Ironically, birds also have a non-zero chance to be called "tits", "boobies" or some such equivalent. Whoever named those must have been very proud of being a mammal and wanted to rub it in for those poor birds
Now I'm conflicted. Boobs are great but at what cost?
We need boob v2, where you can chew a thing and boob out the vomit
Nah boobs are great the way they are, adjust your interface program
Isn’t… isn’t that basically how it works?
I think he means doing it voluntarily. Like, you can shoot out milk at someone by your own will
Boob out lmao
Edit. That’s what boobs currently do. They just boob out one thing tho
Not having to feed our offspring vomit?
i legit had to search whether whales and dolphins had them, and I'm shocked.
Sea lions have retractable nipples. Let that sink in.
Should I let it sink in just like the sea lions do with their nipples?
Also, the platypus doesn't have nipples. It sweats milk.
Memes are the breast way to find out about this.
Memes are literally the breasts in my language (Turkish)!
All hail the tits
Flat earth? Nah I know the truth
Boob Earth
Maybe Freud shouldn't have focused so much on penis envy but more on boob envy?
It's boob comfort, not envy though.
Have you not met women? Boob envy affects a large percentage of humans
✋ I am male and I envy boobs
Freud claims penis envy in girls though, so it's on top of the common envy among boys. I've never met a boy envious of boobs though.
I've never met a boy envious of boobs though.
I suspect I move in gayer circles than you. There are certainly boys and men who envy boobs
Wait... So can you milk a dolphin?
No, but they do produce milk.
Wasn't there some marine scientist that got in trouble for milking dolphins?
This factoid is tits.
In Polish the word for "mammals" is "ssaki" which comes from "ssać" which means "to suck". So we are all suckers in Polish.
That's interesting that the Polish word is so similar to the English word, since Polish is of Slavic origin and English is Germanic.
It's called the milky way because of Heracles since he bit his mom's tit so hard the milk sprayed all over the sky.
This is what Wikipedia has to say about it:
In Greek mythology, Zeus places his son born by a mortal woman, the infant Heracles, on Hera's breast while she is asleep so the baby will drink her divine milk and become immortal. Hera wakes up while breastfeeding and then realizes she is nursing an unknown baby: she pushes the baby away, some of her milk spills, and it produces the band of light known as the Milky Way. In another Greek story, the abandoned Heracles is given by Athena to Hera for feeding, but Heracles' forcefulness causes Hera to rip him from her breast in pain.
That Zeus. He’s such a character. Not only does he sleep around on Hera (you know, his ~~sister~~ wife), but then surreptitiously tries to get Hera to breast-feed his bastard son. But I digress…
I feel this deserves more attention. Not only is the Milky Way named for literal milk; it is named for specifically for human milk.
Well, until very recently anybody who was not born with a desire for milk and sucking tits didn't last long enough to reproduce.
So a bit of a tit obcession is understandable.
Ass lovers in absolute shambles right now. I guess they'll always have <3 (the heart symbol portrays an ass, or so I've heard)
Ga-lactic is where we get lactic!
I always have some doubts when I read in a Brick "Fresh Milk from certified Farmers"
As a Greek, I feel that I have been ~~called~~ summoned.
It is admittedly pretty weird that a whole group of species developed a baby-juice organ that is only used by the females to feed only the young babies.
~~we are starstuff~~ we are universe milk
What is up, my mammals?
Yooo foone
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
