Good thing it wasn't a bull.

those are called milk dicks right?

The really hard part was hacking DNA to remove the lactose-intolerance.

For everything we have deemed deadly, at least one person has died from. Probably more like 1000 because information didn't travel well then

Sure this is true. But lets talk about the ballsy motherfucker that ate the churned mold on top of a milk cask

He's just nervous because his first attempt only had one udder.

First guy to discover bee honey: "I know these fuckers are hiding something!"
just4thelolz
Animals steal honey. The "first guy" probably wasn't really a "guy" yet. More like a thieving little rodent.

He later discovered, through the scientific process, that while cow's milk was delicious bull milk was more filling

It has horns so its a male and wouldn't have teats or milk.

I'm more curious how did people learn to make flour and bread, when during none of the intermediate steps do you have anything edible.
FyreCrawtch
Bread was the result of beer being left in the sun to forment and the probably accidentally dumped in some flour. Ta-da! Bread.

They probably saw cows basing bread first.

Shit, that's better.

Is no one going to point out that cow has horns... so it shouldn't have an udder?
mmmmarygray
Male and female cattle both have horns in most species, they are often removed at birth on dairy cows for saftey reasons

Thanks I was wondering the same thing
Or they can be bred without them, but yes, this

Babies drink milk, why shouldn't I?

Babies just do it to suck on titties

Or (if you are drunk) babies crap their pants and throw up all over people....

I almost jumped on the -1 bandwagon but then I read your statement 3 more times. Yes. That is an appropriate /s response.
missmarymxk
Actually the first use of animal milk was probably for babies whose mothers didn't have enough milk for them
lilbunnyfuufuu1337
Just milk a human instead.
doctorbees
They probably would give the baby to another nursing mom first, if possible. But yes.

That's a bull...
NiceGreenArrows
No, it clearly has udders...
because the artist drew them?
Not sure why you were downvoted as only male bovines have horns and that means no udders or milk.
Not true. Most cows have horns, though they're often removed for safety.
cinemeasctha
Going to get some sort of white stuff. Maybe not what they want though

But it have an utter, assuming it is the same animal on all the pictures, I have seen many cows with horns but never a bull with utters, 1/2
so enlighten me in why it is a bull please? I might be missing something more than the skill of writing English properly :-)) 2/2
NESwasBest
I think he meant because it has horns in the first frame that it shouldn't have utters in the 3rd.
I know but that why the guy said it
rocketdonkey
Think about the first time someone looked at a lobster and said: I bet that scaly motherfucker is delicious
CatsIsTheAnswer
Probably more like "I'll be dead in two days if I don't eat something, what's the worse that can happen?"
TheShadowsLengthen
Lobsters were a poor mans meal initially. They probably didn't have much other choice.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
They also washed up on beaches by the ton, so again not much pioneering required.
halborski
Yes, let's eat this underwater bug.
Or shrooms. Who was the first person to be hungry enough to eat something growing on cow shit.
ForgotMyOtherAcct
Actually they looked at lobsters like they did at bugs. It was illegal for a while to feed more than a couple of lobsters a week to
Indentured servants in New England, because they wanted higher quality food.
BojanglesTheFlyingCar
What a magnificent creature. I wonder what it tastes like
mritty
Lobsters are the cockroaches of the ocean. They were trash food that only poor people ate. I don't know how they became a delicacy.
Maine needed an economy.
mostlyjustheretoupvotefunnycomments
Someone dipped them in butter
MooseCannon
Also, they've been overfished to a point where they're becoming commoditized
VictoryWine
Chicken became abundant and cheap, and people moving more inland jacked transportation costs up.
PastaPriest
Lobsters don't have scales.
MaurogDark
They have an exoscaleton.
BornToBeAwesome
I read it as "scary" before reading your comment
CrashMars
Check if you're japanese
This is a classic joke. That said, watching baby calves makes this a super obvious discovery. "What's good to eat? I dunno, what they eat?"
NotInClass
However it was likely first done to goats in the Middle East. Aka the cradle of civilization
Nomtombouts
I've got nipples, Greg. Can you milk me?
buenothebear
Also I don't think a caveman would give a fuck what other people think
Chaple
Same with snakes and the "I'll eat the next thing to come out of that chicken's butt" joke.
GeneCode
Luckily they watched calves and not kitten.
devasto
Ok, then who said "I'm going to eat the next thing that comes out of that chicken's ass"?
"I want to eat chicken, but I can't eat the one making more chicken...ok, the babies make good nuggets, but how about even EARLIER?"
(that, or copying various egg eating animals)
yes, I was thinking that too, the thought cant be that far of a jump given both human babies and calves suckle.
stupidquestionguy

valinnut
that makes it probable that some moment in time, somone tried to eat grass
longshorttermmemorynetwork
North Koreans do from time to time, I'm told.
jzim16mer

It's the steps from that to bread that boggles me
Imhereforthelurking
Grind grains for easier carry, figure water to say a paste, toss on a hot stone. Voila, flatbread.
Vegans.
Kiore
Hey, I did as a little kid.
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED
Yeah, but my dad would always have me suckle on his snake instead of letting my use my moms tit. Talk about awkward when I milked a cop dog

It's the nutter who worked out cheese I want to talk to.
Ryanator50
or blue cheese, for that matter.
RepostFromLastWeek
Its probably extension of yogurt and the like. They used animal stomachs to store milk and the bacteria, movement and heat interacted.
muchadoaboutmuffin
There's actually a lot of research on that! Its hypothesized that it was an accident stemming from milk kept in a container made from 1/
A stomach of an animal (a natural source of rennet), a warm day, and a long ride. the resulting mixture had a lot less lactose which made 2/
It possible for the mostly-lactose-intolerant population to get to the nutrients in milk that they weren't able to before. Wasn't long 3/
Til it was done on purpose! Very similar to yogurt I believe..there was an NPR's TheSalt article on it at some point, they do good food news
MrNoodlemansbrother
And who the hell came up with COTTAGE cheese?
PorneliusHubertII
It is sour cream that gets me.
Primaltiguere
Someone rented a cottage and loaded it with milk. That's how it got the name.
AlkeneThiol
I want to believe.
StaalTheNotQuiteSoUndefeatedAnymoreButNevermind
I'd wager it was an accident. And they were hungry.
iirc it was. People used to use calf stomachs to carry liquids, like milk. Calves have rennet in their stomachs, which is an essential 1/2
ingredient of cheese. One hot day carrying milk in a calf stomach and voilá, world's first cheese. This is apocryphal, but probable. 2/2
Same with alcohol, probably
alturia00
Fun fact, some rotting fruit has alcohol in the centre and monkeys have been known go for the alcoholic fruit specifically.
TheDino
Only the monkeys that need AA.
supersmashsisters
My ponies used to do that! We had to put fence around the trees and they broke it to get to the rotten fruit
