I wonder if there's a hidden whale/dolphin society debating whether or not to invade humans right this very moment
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
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?
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
Although I will admit that’s an interesting little fact, I would have been perfectly fine not knowing it.
Unsubscribe from whale titty facts?
Well let's not go crazy here.
Whaaaale, let's not go crazy here.
No need to thank me. You're whale cum.
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
humans are some curious little fucks
You spelt disgusting wrong
I'd drink whale milk without hesitation. It's probably fishy, though.
Whales are mammals, so it probably tastes humany.

How TF does a baby whale nurse then? The momma whale is essentially pooping lard out of her nipple? That's a visual I didn't expect today.
? it just drinks it? like sure its thick but it still flows
The analogy of toothpaste was used but yoghurt in a poch might be a better analogy.

Must consume the forbidden icing
If I found a block of cheddar in my fridge with the consistency of toothpaste I'd throw it out, so I have no clue what this guy's deal is.
Many (most? I'm not sure) cheese are not hard cheeses. A lot of delicious cheeses can be very creamy (sometimes in a shell that's more solid).
I've never had whale milk but I am willing to give it a whirl. who's with me

Would this be the freshest cheese possible? Considering that cheese is traditionally not fresh in the slightest.
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.
Fresh cheese is typically called curd. Curd needs to be compressed and aged to make actual cheese.
