Can someone please explain to me what evaporated milk is? Wouldn’t that just be gas by definition? I live in constant fear

buthowaminotdeadyet

no no it’s what left behind after the milk has been evaporated cuz only the water goes, not the other stuff

oceaneyes1834

THERE’S WATER IN MILK?

buthowaminotdeadyet

WHAT DID YOU THINK THE LIQUID WAS?

oceaneyes1834

IDK ISNT MILK ITS OWN LIQUID?

buthowaminotdeadyet

NO

IT’S MILK-STUFF MIXED WITH WATER

oceaneyes1834

MILK STUFF? DOESNT IT JUST COME FROM THE COW’S TIT?

buthowaminotdeadyet

ITS LIKE TIT JUICE, THERE IS WATER IN JUICE AND THERE IS WATER IN MILK

derinthescarletpescatarian

It’s fat droplets suspended in water, with some nutrients and soforth dissolved in it. You know, like ranch dressing.

Evaporated milk is just dehydrated milk.

Obsessed with the user who assumed milk was its own element on the periodic table

As op I felt like I had to make this

Milk, the forbidden 119th element

jasonfunderberkerthefrogexists

the only question left is if it’s a metal, non-metal, or metalloid.

derinthescarletpescatarian

OP seems to have classified it as a special case of halfnium, reclassified as a lanthanide. This has fascinating implications for electron orbital geometry.

Anyway it’s a rare earth metal apparently.

oceaneyes1834

Yes I definitely classified it intentionally and knew exactly what I was doing when I put it with the lanthanides because I am never wrong

MILK IS A RARE EARTH METAL

derinthescarletpescatarian

I thought so, I took one look at your classification and immediately thought “this is definitely someone with a deep understanding of how the periodic table works”

I’m glad that we have reached a consensus on the expected elemental properties of milk

oceaneyes1834

I’d really like to know what @derinthescarletpescatarian’s thoughts are on milk’s electron orbital geometry

derinthescarletpescatarian

That would involve writing a crash course in how suborbitals work on a post about whether water (the primary ingredient in milk) is in milk and even for tumblr that’s going a bit far

jesin00

no, it is absolutely not going too far

derinthescarletpescatarian

You guys always complain that you don’t get to learn stuff in normal ways and then you come asking for this

MILK IS SEVERAL COMPOUNDS PLEASE YALL ARE KILLING ME OVER HERE

We have a container of dry milk because in addition to a little fat and sugars, it contains proteins, which settle into the pores of nitrocellulose membranes, making sure analytical proteins (specific antibodies) don’t get trapped. We could just use casein (one of the proteins in milk), but milk is much cheaper and can also be found at Walmart.

derinthescarletpescatarian

No milk is a lanthanide keep up

flipocrite

lanthanide?

I think you mean lactanide

derinthescarletpescatarian

I will put lego in all of your shoes

A cube of milk with 3 inches of edge length can blow up the galaxy.

derinthescarletpescatarian

Our galaxy is actually the result of such an explosion, that’s why we call it the Milky Way

this is a unique sort of thread in which you’ll find two types of people exclusively: nerds and dumbasses

Enter OCEAN EYES and NOT DEAD YET, two of the king’s most quarrelsome stablehands.

OCEAN
May one explain what powdered milk doth be?
Is it not gas? I live in constant fear.

NOT DEAD
The water flees to air, the rest is left.
The dry debris then forms the powdered milk.

OCEAN
Thou sayest water doth reside in milk?

NOT DEAD
Pray tell what thou believ’st the liquid is?

OCEAN
Is milk not one pure substance in itself?

NOT DEAD
No; ‘tis only milk-stuff mixed with water.

OCEAN
Yet milk appears from living cows’ own tits!

NOT DEAD
‘Tis juice from tits, yet water still it holds.
If water be in juice, then ‘tis in milk.

Enter DERIN, the scarlet pescatarian.

DERIN
‘Tis drops of fat afloat in water,
As if ‘twas dressing for thy greens.
With water gone, the powdered milk remains.

A NOTE attached to an arrow, written by BURNING BRAND, flies through the window.

BURNING BRAND’S NOTE
Obsessed with he who foolishly believ’d
That milk is element of chemistry.

The NOTE crumbles to ash. BURNING BRAND is not seen again.

OCEAN
As he who instigated such a fight,
I felt that this creation was my duty.

OCEAN unrolls a scroll of parchment with a flourish.

OCEAN
Behold, ‘tis milk, one hundred and nineteen.

Enter JASON FUNDER BERKER, a frog.

JASON FUNDER BERKER
And yet the burning question still remains:
‘Tis metal, not, or somewhere in between?

JASON FUNDER BERKER does not wait to hear the answer, and exits.

DERIN
A lanthinide! A special case, I see.
How fascinating, geometrically. 
But let us leave atomic musings be.
For milk is a rare metal of our Earth.

OCEAN
Of course it is, for I am always right.
My choices are, of course, deliberate.

DERIN
I do not doubt thou speakest truth, my lord
Thy brilliant mind is utterly unmatch’d.
It seems that an agreement has been reach’d.

OCEAN
Of course; however, in sincerity
I wish to know thy scholar-driven thoughts.

DERIN
I fear ‘twould be beyond thy comprehension.
To teach to thee would take this much too far.

Exit OCEAN, in a huff. Enter JESIN, BOOP BOOP, FLIPOCRITE, VELVET, and LOVELY DREAMS, curious onlookers attracted to the scene.

JESIN
Do teach us, it would not take this too far!

DERIN
Ye all complain of learning strangely,
Then ask me baiting questions such as this!

BOOP BOOP
Thy gross ineptitude shall be my death!
Milk is formed of small component parts.
The fat, the sugars, proteins all combine
They seep through pores of membranes in this drink
Unpleasant compounds all are filter’d out.
All this obtained for small amounts of coin.

DERIN
No, milk is lanthanide, pray keep the pace.

FLIPOCRITE
The word thou mean’st is lactanide, I think.

DERIN
May sharpened pain-shaped stones fill up thy shoes
So that thou never know’st a moment’s peace.

VELVET
A cube of milk, three inches on each side
Could blow up the entire galaxy.

DERIN
Our galaxy was formed in such a fashion.
‘Tis why we gave it name of “Milky Way.”

LOVELY DREAMS
Thus ends our entertainment for the night
Here fools and pompous scholars come to fight.

Exuent, pursued by a cow.
