We have three options here:

All dairy products are actually non-dairy equivalents that happened to just take the original names.

There are equally intelligent milk-producing species that either keep themselves in a milk producing state or are otherwise forced into said state.

Or

There is an unseen slave caste of lesser intelligent members of species that are harvested for their products.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 52 points 2 weeks ago

Option 1: the best way to do things, but probably counts as a microaggression

Option 2.1: probably what Disney would go with

Option 2.2: the fanfiction explanation

Option 3: the grimdark version

[-] JusticeForPorygon 18 points 2 weeks ago

Perhaps it was option 2 or 3 originally which is why all the names are the same but over time transitioned into option 1 in a sort of abolition movement.

[-] CXORA@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago

How would option 1 be a microagression?

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I could imagine the dairy and veal industry being a very sore subject for cows in zootopia, and casual references to dairy products might be a painful barb for them.

lmao #3 is how they do it in bojack horseman. There's an intelligent chicken who has a "lesser" dumb chicken farm

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

And those "lesser" chickens are created by injecting chickens after birth with something that makes them essentially mentally disabled, though they are still sentient

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago

You know what?

Bojack should be depressed. His whole society should be destroyed. I'm glad I stopped watching the sad horse show.

[-] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

It was a source of joy for me. I still miss the sad horse.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

based on all the shit that cars 2 not only implies but explicitly shows on screen (genetically inferior racial underclass hell-bent on destruction of the civilised world, engine transphobia, sentient beings welded in place to do their work, force-feeding a man until his heart literally explodes out of his body, cartholicism), i would not at all be surprised if it turned out to be 3.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Option 4.

It’s a planet of the apes situation.

[-] x4740N@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

There is an unseen slave caste of lesser intelligent members of species that are harvested for their products.

This is why you don't see monkeys in zootopia

[-] needanke@feddit.org 54 points 2 weeks ago

They keep humans as livestock.

[-] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 33 points 1 week ago

please, please, do not reply with a link of a fan comic about this,

i don't want to read it. but I have no self control

[-] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago

Commenting for the link to the comic... for scientific reasons

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

i don’t want to read it. but I have no self control

Here you go

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Awwww, I was hoping for the opposite.

Maybe it’s like Beastars where animal products like eggs are just a pretty normal type of labor

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

Zootopia? Based on what I've seen online, who's getting milked? Anything that moves.

Furries AND femboys? So that why it is an utopia

I've had some non dairy ice cream that's pretty good

[-] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago
[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

So it's the almonds getting milked 🕵️

Coconuts, oats, cashews, almonds. I've heard good things about ice cream that uses avocado as the base too.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Oats don't have nipples. You can't milk them.

I've had good coconut-based ice cream. Almond milk is really only good as a coffee whitener. Cashews are overabused as terrible vegan replacements for thins when they're far superior just by themselves.

I can see avocado having some potential, given its fat content, but I'm not much for savory desserts.

I've tried 2 different avocado variations and both were delicious!

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 25 points 1 week ago

There isn't ice cream. They sell water based flavoured ice. Don't know what the English word for that is.

[-] Manticore@lemmy.nz 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think snowcone if it's crushed ice with flavour syrup added (though Snowcone might be a brand name that Americans just use for all of them)

Or sorbet if it's frozen fruit puree

Was thinking of th giant ice block at first, forgot about them scooping health code violations

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 1 week ago

What about these? Especially the one on the left? They aren't snowcones or sorbets. You might say popsicle but that leaves out the one on the left.

Someone said water ice. And that's the same we call them in German. But I've never heard that word anywhere. Maybe it's a UK thing or so.

[-] Grabthar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Looks like an ice lolly

In the US, I've heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it's freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced "sherbert") if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that's event pricing for ya)

Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I'm pretty sure that's a brand name we use as a generic term.

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”)

Sorbet and sherbert also called sherbet) are actually different. Sorbet is just fruit puree with sugar and water as needed. Sherbert also contains dairy, which adds fat and gives it a richer texture.

The almonds

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Also why does Mickey Mouse keep Goofy's intellectually disabled relative as a pet? It's the sort of messed up thing I'd do, but not suitable for a children's character.

[-] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I've never understood this reaction. Goofy and Pluto are both dogs in the same way Humans and dogs are both mammals. They're not the same, just visually similar, but Goofy has more in common with Mickey than Pluto.

No, no, ...

The question (and shorter answer) is who isn't getting milked.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

We have human milk ice cream, why do you think it’s weird in Zootopia to have milk from other mammals
