No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This question popped into my head after an ADHD moment of deconstructing the concept that humans willingly drink cow milk on an industrial scale. Would you drink milk if it was human women pumping the milk themselves?

No. I don't think many people would unless they had some kind of fetish.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I stopped drinking milk in my twenties.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I prefer a titties to table milk

I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

See this is one of my biggest issues with Lemmy. The pedantry.

I don't know any person irl who wouldn't know exactly what I mean when I say breast milk.

Because no one refers to any other milk as breast milk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You know what? The four (4) of you are right. The crying baby picture was inappropriate. Maybe this one is better?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm upvoting only because of the dedication and pettiness.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Nice. I stumbled on that one on my phone earlier and thought it was funny.

Almond milk isn't milk.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've drank person milk from two different people. It's pretty thin and watery, but sweeter than cow's milk. On the whole I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not having more of it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Calling it person milk is technically correct but boy oh boy does it make me uncomfortable.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

I assumed the only reason we don't already is because of the ethical issues with subjecting human women to the practices that make bovine milk economical.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

For the novelty. Especially if it comes from someone who is on dilaudid

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What is that and what does it do?

Probably not, I don't even drink cows milk any more. Not because I'm vegan or anything like that, just purely for practical reasons. Cow milk goes off at the drop of a hat but I always manage to get through all my oat milk or almond milk without it turning.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Seriously, cows milk even pasteurized goes bad way too quickly since I only use it for coffee or cereal.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 5 months ago

The milk producer would have to be on a pretty clean diet for it to taste any good. Given that, and them being easy on the eyes, I'd rather have it straight from the source.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

It is for sale commercially. Hella expensive! $107 for 50 ml.

https://www.innov-research.com/products/single-donor-human-breast-milk

Now you can get it from private individuals for less - a buck or two per ounce, plus overnight shipping. But there are no food safety guarantees. You have no idea who the donor is, what kind of diet they have (may be an issue if you have food or drug allergies), or their health. That's why it's not recommended by the FDA.

No. It’s not good for your health, as an adult. It also tastes salty. I had to pump breast milk from myself years ago, after each of my two children were born. Not only is it a pain to pump breast milk, but it doesn’t taste very good. I sampled some of it from the medela graduated cylinders I used for storing my milk. My son was having stomach problems and my husband and I were going back and forth about the causes of it. Maybe it was the bottles, maybe they’re shaped wrong, maybe it’s the formula I’m supplementing with because I’m not able to pump as much as I would like to since I work, or maybe it was because breast milk tastes bad. Yes, that last argument was what led me to say that my breast milk was not worse than the Nutramigen formula for newborns with stomach issues. I tasted the milk and the formula. Breast milk has a saltier taste.

No, I'll keep on getting mine from the fridge at work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Bobby said I can neither confirm nor deny that

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

How do you milk a fridge?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

The funniest part is that post is what started the thought process that lead to this question.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago
[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Well, idk about buying but I'll start selling

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Maybe if it had a sexy mascot or something

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I don't see an issue with it, aside from the fact that it would almost certainly be ridiculously expensive. It's likely more hygienic than cow or goat milk, and you know that the people doing it would be doing so at least as consensually as anyone does any labor in a capitalist society.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Imagine lightly salty cereal milk. It's not bad really.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah I'd try it once. I mean I'm sure I accidentally tasted it when my wife was lactating but I never took a big swig.
