How do you explain this?

>>52535819
Without cows, we don't have an easy way to make lots of it, nor beef for that matter.
People will still drink milk, it'll just be much more of a luxury or people will raise a different animal for milk.

>>52535945
I find it hard to believe that Eastern Europe is that lactose intolerant, since every single person I know, including myself, consumes milk products.

>>52536006

Eastern Europeans aren't really ''adult'' by western definitions.

>>52536080
Hah

>>52535819
Depends on the setting.

For example, in the grim, dark present where there is only foolishness, milk is still consumed, but is considered white supremacist hate speech by a few morons that hopefully no one else will care about, but never bet on hope in anything in such a world.

Milk-people.
There are different traits and mechanisms to digest milk and they evolved separately.

after a certain age, humans dont NEED milk to survive per say. Its hard to get calcium in the diet without mining it, but other than that, vitamins and protiens in milk are all found in other places. solves the problems of lactose/lactase intolerance too.

>>52535819
Yes, Milk derivatives like cheese and butter are a good way to store calories and protean for use in the winter. Those who use this method will evolve to drink milk and those from climate where this is impractical will use methods like fermentation to get around their lactose intolerance

>>52540573
That's bad statistics. The chart is representing the overall adult population that is lactose tolerant, but that is West Africa, a region that has roughly 250 million people. Knowing West Africa, they were unable or unwilling to interview a large portion of that population, and the portion they did interview were overwhelmingly middle-class (i.e. your traditional dairy crowd) and the children/grandchildren of former British and French colonists. So their already spotty census data is now being heavily swayed by what is essentially an alien population. The same argument applies for the Red Sea, Aden Gulf and Persian Sea.

> Asian Canadian
Dude, Canada in the process of a no-shit Asian Invasion. Some cities in China have higher population than the entire country of Canada, and Chinamen have been buying up property and immigrating en mass.

Now traditionally east asians have been good immigrants to the west, but with modern China you have to wonder if parts of Canada are at risk of becoming de-facto ChiCom colonies.

Point is, right, you've got a jug, or a bottle at home, see? And you buy a bag of milk, cut it open, and pour the milk into the jug, or the bottle, jar - doesn't matter, mate, whatever suits your fancy. So you do that, and throw the empty bag away. When you've drank your milk, you just give the jug a wash and buy a new bag, alright? Less rubbish to take away.

>>52536006

Simple: >>52535945 is western propaganda lies. Central asians definitely drink milk.

>>52535819
yes

what do you think is in breasts?

>>52544405
>What the fuck am I looking at here.
I take it you have never been to Canada.
The west coast of Canada is pretty much a Chinese colony at this point, been that way since the British gave up Hong Kong. So many of my friends from Macau or HK that were studying in the US ended up living in Vancouver.

>>52544635
>you have to wonder if parts of Canada are at risk of becoming de-facto ChiCom colonies.
Wasn't that way before, all the Chinese I knew that immigrated to Canada were trying to get away from the Chicom bullshit. Not sure about the newer ones, they seem more interested in partying and driving expensive cars than anything else. But I don't really talk to them, so I dunno, I assume at this point they are all the spoiled children of rich party members. But yeah it does seem like are some places in danger of having a Canada town inside a Chinese city.

>>52535945
The same way I explain peanut allergies: early exposure prompts the immune system to adapt. Without it, you develop an allergy. Your body can't fight what it doesn't know, which is the entire premise of vaccinations.

Some scientists think the sun may be the source of most electricity.

>>52535819
As long as there are other animals that can fill a similar roll.
Goats were domesticated and used for milk before cows.

>>52545528
Do you not understand how statistics work?
There can still be people that drink milk there even if they're a small population.

>>52545536
I wouldn't know :(

Milk is a huge part of the culture, though. Whomever did the statistic sampling of the area is a fucking idiot.

You put it in the jug first. Then you open it.

To do otherwise is to invite disaster.

Others think that the movement of the Earth produces some of it. You can learn more about the subject in the scientific manual you see pictured here.

Outside of nuclear*, we can trace all energy sources we utilize back to the sun. Solar is obvious, wind and hydro are possible because energy from the sun keeps those spheres in motion, bio is utilizing energy plants captured from the sun, fossil fuels are the same, they just had more natural processing and a longer storage time.

* Nuclear fission utilizes heavy elements that were created when the last incarnation of our sun died. Nuclear fusion would be an energy source that doesn't trace back to the sun.

But everyone is exposed to milk early on, you fucking idiot.

In areas where people dealt routinely with cattle (mainly northern europe and africa) it was adaptive to be able to drink milk.

There's also different degrees of lactose intolerance, not everybody's intestines immediately stop working when they drink milk.

Cow's milk especially is lower in lactose which is why cow-herders were able to start drinking it in the first place and make tolerance adaptive.

Central asian horse milk is typically fermented which breaks down the lactose.

Milk: It's not that fucking complicated.

Yeah, but some of that is Chinese milk, and I think we can all agree that doesn't count.

>>52547895

So anyway, no. If you can't handle lactose there are ways to treat milk to make it drinkable but without a cow equivalent, a common domesticated animal that provides low-lactose milk, you're not going to see large-scale lactose tolerance.

One could argue geothermal is directly linked to the Sun itself. While yes, the fact there is an Earth requires there to be a star to provide the various dusts would eventually combine to create us, that would be the same as the hydrogen being used to fuel fusion reactions.

Geothermal is just the friction of the molten innards of the planet flowing about. Even if the planet was flung out of orbit, I'm fairly certain the inner core would remain glowing hot for quite a long time.

>>52550040
Geothermal is arguable. While the heat (and internal motion) may have originated from the previous sun*, rather than the current one, if it weren't for our sun the planet would have cooled off ages ago.

* Another point of arguability: One could consider the current sun and it's predecessor the same.
