They’re not warm blooded. Maybe they’re flamingos.

And they produce dairy-free milk, whereas mammal milk is definitely of the dairy variety.

Is human milk a dairy product?
- FiniteBanjo ( @FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today ) 14•23 days ago
Human milk certainly contains Lactose and Whey Protein.
- Dave ( @Dave@lemmy.nz ) 3•23 days ago
But is it a dairy product?
- FiniteBanjo ( @FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today ) 15•23 days ago
I just gave you a pretty succinct definition of Dairy. Yes.
- Dave ( @Dave@lemmy.nz ) 1•23 days ago
Google shows conflicting answers and the Wikipedia page doesn’t list human milk.
- TachyonTele ( @TachyonTele@lemm.ee ) 5•22 days ago
And we all know how trustworthy Google Search is…
- FiniteBanjo ( @FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today ) 5•23 days ago
Well if you go by FDA’s Title 21 Chapter I Subchapter B Part 131 Subpart B then not only is human milk not a dairy product but the only animal who produces milk is a cow, however in 2018 they requested submissions weighing in on whether plant products should continue to use “dairy group” words such as milk and yogurt on their labeling, so I think there is probably some leeway on this.

Yes, but it’s pretty difficult to buy.
- Sam Vimes ( @SamVimes@beehaw.org ) 5•22 days ago
It’s not actually especially difficult. People who produce more than their kid needs will sell or give away the extra to people who are struggling to produce enough. Also… Some hardcore body builders buy it as well.

There’s apparently also breastmilk ice-cream!

Also, beware the diseases. Milk can spread virus AFAIK.

depends on the climate. natural habitat: yes. grocery store: no.
- Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) English11•23 days ago
By definition, “warm blooded” means “produce their own heat” (obviously drastically simplified). I don’t think it matters whether the coconut is on a deserted island or on the shelf at Woollies, it’s still not warm blooded.
- Dave ( @Dave@lemmy.nz ) 13•23 days ago
What if it’s on fire, using it’s own energy to produce the heat?

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.

You can milk any animal that has nipples… but, do coconuts have nipples?!
I rest my case 😎

I have nipples @jarfil@beehaw.org , could you milk me?

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”.
- pooberbee ( @pooberbee@lemmy.ml ) 10•22 days ago
Whoa, so cats came from coconuts?
- metaStatic ( @metaStatic@kbin.social ) 8•22 days ago
Then why are there still coconuts? Check mate atheists

Proof that humans and coconuts lived together. Suck it science!
- CarbonIceDragon ( @CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social ) 4•23 days ago
echidna I understand, but why cat?
- Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) 4•23 days ago
The actual definition is “monotremes and placental mammals”. I just picked one of each.
- jarfil ( @jarfil@beehaw.org ) 4•22 days ago
You can milk a cat, that checks out.
- leftzero ( @leftzero@lemmynsfw.com ) 6•22 days ago
Nah, coconuts don’t have the right kind of teeth and ear bones.
- gandalf_der_12te ( @gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de ) 5•21 days 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.
- nomad ( @Nomad@infosec.pub ) 4•21 days ago
Geez I thought we left the coconut fuckers back at the place which may not be named.
