    What the fuck did I just read.

    If I had an ounce of skill as an artist I’d draw the image evoked by your 13 words.

    Tiny milking machines hooked up to billions of restrained cockroaches, extracting their milky secretions.

    God damnit

        Pardon my language, but holy balls. I knew AI was powerful and self-driving cars and five-second essays and convincing deep fakes and yada yada, but this … This is shaking me to my core. The refinement in composition, the surrealist allure, the subtle variations of cockroach positioning …

        Gotdarn it’s too good.

          The steaming roach in the forefront producing literal roach milk is definitely my favorite part

      I’m kind of glad you’re not an artist tbh. To get the pure milk, scientists had to sort of stick a filter right into their abdomens (it’s a kind of cockroach that gives birth to live young).

      Realistically if anyone ever harvests it en masse they will probably just kill the mothers and include the entire abdomen not just the milk secretions.
