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

Edit. That’s what boobs currently do. They just boob out one thing tho

i legit had to search whether whales and dolphins had them, and I'm shocked.

Sea lions have retractable nipples. Let that sink in.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

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.
