so making cheese from whale milk would be like SUPER cheese.

100% that someone has tasted/drunk/chewed whale milk. In fact I don’t think there would be many species that haven’t been milk tasted by a human at this point

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd drink whale milk without hesitation. It's probably fishy, though.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Whales are mammals, so it probably tastes humany.

humans are some curious little fucks

The whale milk must flow.

Imagine dairy flavored toothpaste

Why imagine when you can live it? (Just don't tell them it isn't for your cat when ordering)

Edit: someone's already pondered this

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

The analogy of toothpaste was used but yoghurt in a poch might be a better analogy.

Although I will admit that’s an interesting little fact, I would have been perfectly fine not knowing it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago

No need to thank me. You're whale cum.

Unsubscribe from whale titty facts?

Well let's not go crazy here.

Whaaaale, let's not go crazy here.

Would this be the freshest cheese possible? Considering that cheese is traditionally not fresh in the slightest.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

cheese is traditionally not fresh in the slightest.

Oh, but it can be. Farmer's cheese and other fresh milk cheese types curdle the milk proteins using an acid reaction to citrus or vinegar rather than fermentation.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That must make some ultra indulgent ice cream

More like icecheese

I dont know about that. This sounds like some pro-whale propaganda to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I read that some countries still hunt for whale meat :( And now they are after their milk too :(((

The ocean: state of impending catastrophe

Humans: can we make another kind of cheese from them?

I wonder if there's a hidden whale/dolphin society debating whether or not to invade humans right this very moment

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

If whales are smart enough to debate that, they probably have cultural memory of almost getting whaled to extinction. Which would make them like us less, but on the other hand, might make them afraid to get us too upset at them

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps it'll make your day better to know that Pacific nations have passed legislation recognising legal personhood for whales and dolphins, granting them rights against being hunted?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Honestly makes sense

Looking at a dolphins brain is enough to convince me they’ve known what’s up for far longer than we have

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

that would bring a new meaning to "full ~~cream~~fat" ice cream.... (editted a word)
