They don’t secrete a filtered blood derived substance through modified sweat glands, thus not milk producing, nearly milk substitute producing.

Wild thought, vampires that drink milk instead of blood.

Neither Coconuts nor Oats have Mammary Exocrine Glands

I heard that in Sheldon Coopers voice.

You can milk any animal that has nipples... but, do coconuts have nipples?!

I rest my case 😎

Is not about the nips, but the mammary glands.

Mammals aren't "living organisms with fur and milk". They're "the most recent common ancestor of the echidna and the cat, and anything descended from that".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Whoa, so cats came from coconuts?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then why are there still coconuts? Check mate atheists

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

Proof that humans and coconuts lived together. Suck it science!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

echidna I understand, but why cat?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

The actual definition is "monotremes and placental mammals". I just picked one of each.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

You can milk a cat, that checks out.

[–] leftzero 6 points 10 months ago

Nah, coconuts don't have the right kind of teeth and ear bones.

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

While "having fur and producing milk" may have been the original description of mammals, biology no longer classifies things that way.

Today, all of the classification is based on Clades, which can be established by doing DNA investigation (similarity matching). So, "mammals" are defined as a clade. And whether somebody falls into it or not depends on their DNA similarity. And coconut clearly do not belong into there.

Geez I thought we left the coconut fuckers back at the place which may not be named.

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

In this essay I will

coconuts are plants and you're an idiot

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

you’re an idiot

Name-calling isn't nice. Remember to be(e) nice at Beehaw. Consider this a warning.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

But "idiot" isn't a name, i guess?

/jk Sorry, I'll show myself out.
