you actually have to milk each individual cockroach
No, I don't! Someone might be forced to, but it ain't gonna be me. Nope!
The toughest parts of the process, really, are finding tiny little pails, and really low stools.

Unlike other insect species, this Hawaiian native gives birth to live young. And she feeds them a pale, yellow liquid "milk" from her brood sack.
But the craziest thing: Cut open an embryonic beetle roach, and their guts will spill out nutrient-rich milk crystals that shimmer like glitter. [...]
[Professor] Stay also found that she could extract the roach milk — in either liquid or crystal form — through a process she calls "milking a cockroach."
"You substitute a filter paper in the brood sac for the embryos and you leave it there," she explains. After a while, "you take it out and you get the milk."
So apparently it's some substance produced inside the cockroach which you can get at without crushing the rest of the cockroach.
Of course now you actually have to milk each individual cockroach individually one by one, each individual once at a time.
Actually, pursuant to a particular mechanized device and skirting morality regarding cruelty, one could install a congregation of units for automatic harvesting, feeding, and bodily management. After all, it is unlikely the cockroach is under many complicated requirements for a suitably healthy status to maintain a production rate, unlike, say, cows.

And since most people don't think they are cute or cuddly, it'll be perfectly fine to have such machines.

Seeing it's from KY3 reminds me: a high school buddy of mine once got one of those beer caps for his birthday:
He also got a generously sized bottle of anal lube because highschool. We saw to it that he always had a fresh can in the holder, and also made sure that the entire bottle of lube was added to the cans over the course of the evening.

Wouldn't that just water it down? Unless it's flavored lube or something it should be relatively tasteless anyways so....

Thanks, I guess, but what's the issue with NPR oneboxes?
In case I ever remember about this next time I happen to post a link to them...

While I definitely don't want them anyway, they could be worse: Chocolate-Coated Sugar-Free Gummi Bears.

@DogsB said in Nope, you eat it:
At least they are made from actual gelatin. Many shops have been flooded with the vegan gelatin-free substitute and that's an abomination unto Nougat.

They kind of hijack the browser and make you scroll to them when you come back to the thread.

I haven't tried digesting quantities of it but supposedly it doesn't really break down, giving some extra slippery diarrhea.

Also, I didn't notice it at first, but the ingredients include red, yellow and blue food colorants. Which suggest that they are regular gummy bears dipped in chocolate. I guess it's cheaper to manufacture them that way.

Perfect for the next phase of the plan, IMO! 😂
