Are you saying it’d be less weird to glug down human milk?

Well, yes, since we already do that. And human milk is at least from our species.

I personally think that would be very weird, but less weird than drinking the breast milk of other species.

I’ll refer you to another response from this wonderfully lively thread:

"“What do you like to drink?”

“Milk.”

“What’s that?”

“This breast juice from other animals. It’s super healthy for the percentage of our population that can digest it.”

“Oh…Why from other animals?”

“Well, we’re not going to drink human breast milk, that would be gross. I mean, we give it to babies. Cow and goat lactation, though, that’s for grown-ups.”"

Fair enough. Like the other commenter said in response, it’s good to remember that weird doesn’t mean bad, but you’re not wrong, it is pretty weird lol. The world is a goofy place :)

Agreed, there are tons of weird and goofy things everywhere. They don’t bother me, but I notice and appreciate them.

Drinking milk from other species is just one of the most common weird ones and one that I don’t think we examine fundamentally often enough haha. Plus I always think it’s funny.

I always think of that. Tom Green skit where he drank milk straight from the udder of a cow and the ostensible joke is like look how crazy this guy is that he’s willing to drink milk straight from the cow!

But that’s basically what everybody is doing, in my head anyway whenever I see someone drinking milk. It’s fun up there, in my head.

You could make a similar argument as to why we eat animal meat instead of human meat and it would be just as stupid.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

Not dissing your argument at all, but my first thought was of babies eating little pieces of human flesh and it made me giggle. Well now that I wrote I down it just sounds freaky, but in my head it sounded silly ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
