The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

If it was delicious and sanitary I don’t see why not

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

I love eating girls out, is it really worse ?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 7 points 23 hours ago

Would it be "delicious?"

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 23 hours ago

I'll be honest, it likely depends on the social connotations of doing so. It feels on the same level of would I drink human milk and could I tell which milk was made from a set of three friends.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 10 points 1 day ago

If I was a bee I would.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 26 points 1 day ago

personally yes but I feel like we'd probably be weird about people who want to eat it like we are with breast milk. like I'd imagine humans would reserve it for feeding infants like how birds do with their regurgitated food.

[–] Southsamurai@reddthat.com 18 points 1 day ago

That's a misleading description of what bees do.

That being said, if we could actually make honey that way, id be making my own and be happy with it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuchikamizake

Kuchikamizake (口噛み酒; mouth-chewed sake) or kuchikami no sake (口噛みの酒) is a type of sake produced by a process involving human saliva as a fermentation starter.

ohh this is the thing they did in the Your Name anime

[–] Pennywise@quokk.au 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They do that in South America where tribes spit into a communal pot. I think they were chewing cassava or maize or something like that. There are enzymes (like amylase) in saliva that break down the starches into fermentable sugars.

I think I'd pass, personally. I hear it's quite sour and I hate sour beer.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think you're referring to chicha. I have tried it, but didn't like it. It made me think of buttermilk with alcohol.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago

Yeah why not.

[–] Zomg@piefed.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's someone's fetish for sure ..

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

is beeplay like petplay for polycules?

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

This is someone who understands

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Would you eat cheese if it were made from human milk?

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

breast milk flavored ice cream was a thing, and is still available.

sadly human milk products are illegal for sale.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (3 children)

I wouldn't say sadly. Alowing human milk products to be sold would be risking a lot of infectious diseases to be spread.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 4 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

The human rights violations are pretty staggering, too.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

There wouldn't have to be violations. I wasn't thinking about industrial scale.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The closest analogue we normally have is a wet nurse, and most people don't like that idea. How would you feel if your mother/sister/daughter was one? Then make it worse, because there's profit to be had by bottling it instead of just feeding someone else's child. You don't need to scale at all before it becomes a problem.

[–] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

If my mother/sister/daughter was a wet nurse, I'd have zero problems with it if they did it by their own choice. Same as if they were able to bottle and sell their own breastmilk for a couple extra bucks, kinda like how people are able to donate blood or plasma or semen for a little money sometimes.

Provided it's not being abused and they are not enslaved or abused into doing it, I don't see a problem with it

Edit: also that the milk went through a proper pasteurization process to ensure safety to anyone who was buying it

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 1 points 22 hours ago

hucows are a fetish thing.

[–] ghen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

And more slavery

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

animal milk isn't allowed to be sold raw either. it has to be pasteurized or ultra pasteurized.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Right, but pasturized doesn't mean 100% sterile. Thats ok, because diseases don't spread as much across different species. Most cow diseases don't affect humans. But with milk produced by the same animal that consumes it that's a different case.

Don't look up how traditional honey-mead is made...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Depends on whether or not it tasted as good as honey. Even honey itself can taste wildly different, depending on what pollen was gathered by the bees to make it. Clover honey is the most common I see, but blackberry honey tastes even better IMO.

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't stand honey. It smells like when people sneeze, so I have never wanted to even taste it. So I guess bee phlegm and human phlegm smell the same to me?

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

you can smell sneezes? or taste them?

wild.

I've had my dog sneeze in my mouth, but it didn't have a flavor or a smell.

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The smell comes from a person's saliva which often gets spewed into the air after a sneeze. The droplets hang in the air a long time. Some peoples' sneezes have a sickly sweet odour that smells the same as honey to me. Other sneezes don't smell like much of anything to me though. I don't know if I'm smelling an infection byproduct, a food, or maybe a lack of hydration causing their saliva to have a strong smell, but it always smells the same to me. As for taste? I think I'd rather not explore that. I imagine it might taste like it smells, so like honey.

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

wild stuff.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Probably not because that sounds gross

[–] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago
[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Well I already find honey disgusting so that’s a hard no for me.
