Chinese are more interested vagina. More to the point 也。
Yeah this isn't a universal human thing like the post suggests, it's just that terms like "mammal" and "galaxy" are rooted in Europe.
Folks? There are people outside of Europe, and they have different opinions on stuff!
Of the organs that are unique to us mammals, tits are more fun to play with than placentas.
Hair is pretty cool too
Somebody please tell me that sol means titties somehow
I mean, point me to a milk producing animal of another class without stretching some definitions a bit.
i mean i'm not sure what definition you go by, to me the most sensible definition would be "a nutritious liquid produced by the parent to feed the child in its infancy", for which there's actually quite a few other classes that qualify. Many birds have crop milk which is exactly what it sounds like, and apparently some jumping spiders secrete milk from the same place as the eggs come out.
I suppose you could argue that milk must be modified sweat, but that feels very much like actively narrowing it down to only count mammals. It's not like there's anything inherent to how our milk is produced, all that matters is that it's a nutritious liquid.
