So...if you're sentenced to death by starvation but you don't die...you just get a pardon?
"Welp, looks like you won this time. Well played sir, you may go now."
This is actually how death sentences were carried out in some parts of human history. If you survived the thing that was supposed to kill you, many believed it to be divine intervention.
That's why in old West movies the outlaw is always sentences to be hanged " until he is dead". So If the rope snaps you can't claim to have already been hanged.
To be fair it does have real world president and isn't exactly a movie trope. In the modern world you are sentenced to death or maybe rather execution. And survival means nothing more than a news story about how you being put to death was cruel and unusual because you didn't IMMEDIATELY die.
We don't know nearly enough about death to do it well in a justice system environment. At least outside of firing squad.
I think I read somewhere that they were found out but everybody was so moved by the love the daughter had for her father (not in a sexual or romantic way) that they pardoned him.

I don't know if this is what happened here. But in the past surviving an execution attempt was often taken as a sign that God had intervened on your behalf.
I vaguely remember a story of an inmate sentenced to death by injection. The guard tied his arm up too tight and administered the lethal dosage. However, it did not kill him. He was released.
Once the tourniquet was removed, the injection worked quick and killed him.
Yeah, but Grapes of Wrath is non-family members.
EDIT: All my notifications are now moral quandaries about incest and nipples. I hope you're happy Reddit.
So let's break this down to it's simplest form. You are a grown adult with a choice. One option is a slow death by starvation. The other is drinking breast milk from a willing, non-spousal (and non-twin) family member. What is your choice? Yeah, it's creepy but it beats death, and afterwards you can both spend the rest of your life in therapy - because you are STILL ALIVE.
To add to this. You're making the choice while starving to death, which gives you the mindset of thinking even rotten food is "good enough"
Yeah no I can safely say what most people here are picking.
Breast milk is dope — the breast *responds* to the person it’s feeding. Like yes it’s meant for family but I think maybe a wide definition of that in an evolutionary sense. Some fucking how if a baby who breastfeeds gets an infection the person who is breastfeeding them will make antibodies for that infection.
I’m on mobile sorry for the long link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22258136/
Shit is nuts. Absolutely nuts.
Well, it's a wet link between the two bodies, so I'm guessing some bacterias transfers from the babie to the mother's body and it can guess? Or make more antibodies to defend the mother and it goes in the milk?
Yea I'd say it's definitely a case of epidermal to vascular permation through the mamary glands or maybe even just the lil bit of baby spit that gets absorbed through your pores of your breast. Then your body just naturally fights off the invader with antibodies that flood to the baby?
I love that Steinbeck is up here. That’s the first thing I thought of when seeing this. “She looked up and across the barn, and her lips came together and smiled mysteriously.”
I never read The Grapes of Wrath. That never made me feel stupid until just now because of course people would talking about this book for a century and of course it never would have been taught to me precisely because of that one part.
It's free on my kindle thank you
That's actually pretty funny. Cows are dorks irl if you spend time with them so I believe it
Cow walking up the rest of the herd: "guys watch you won't fucking believe this"
How do they reach? Last I checked they weren't the most limber of animals and that kind of seems on the same level as sucking your own donger given the location
I accidentally drank breast milk when I was a teenager. I was round some dodgy person's house getting off our faces on drugs (no kids present) I went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea...
And I though
"Who keeps milk in a glass jar... Whatever"
Sat down. Started drinking my tea...
"I think your milk in that weird jar has gone off"
"YOU DRANK MY FUCKING BREAST MILK HAHAA"
A genuine everyone laughed moment but I felt disgusted.
We can drink cow and goat milk but not milk from our own friend’s titty. What a shame.
My husband said he won’t even drink my breast milk once I give birth. But he loving eating my sweaty butthole. What a shame.
Imagining my under-producing self explaining to 16 other people that we're going to die even if I power pump 10 times a day and does anybody have different sized flanges for me to try?
Correct and pregnant women were encouraged to drink it, they used to heat it up, according to my aunt, who drank it through 7 pregnancies. Thank God Ferrograd C was in the market by the time I had mine. I hate all stout with a passion!
Breast milk has a lot of nutrients and the body will produce as much as needed. It would make sense to drink a little bit of breast milk vs a loaf of bread or potatoes
\*breast milk has all the nutrients a human needs to survive, it's the only one substance that humans can survive exclusively on. It even contains vitamin C which is weird because non lactating people produce no endogenous vitamin C and get scurvy.
>*breast milk has all the nutrients a human needs to survive
Breast milk contains almost no iron, that is the one big nutrient it is lacking in.
edit: breast milk also lacks any meaningful amount of vitamin d unless the person producing the milk takes a high dosage supplement, however, human beings are capable of producing their own vitamin d by simply going outside.
To add on, babies are born with enough iron stored in their body to last about six months, which is also when you start introducing solid food. If you look in the baby food aisle, all the food geared to six month olds really emphasizes iron fortification on the package.
Reddit is stupid, that's why.
The only logical way that it might be true that you'd intentionally breastfeed starving people is if it's the family's way of slowly cannibalizing the mother by letting her body produce excess milk by breaking down her fat.
Idk the biology of whether tissues will get broken down before lactation ceases if "the baby" is still drinking everyday.
You still wouldn't give the mother your own food just to drink her milk.
That's because it does.
It's not a free-energy-machine, the woman's fat and energy reserves are slowly being depleted, but it's using the food available in a much more efficient way.
I wouldnt say "more efficient" - you'll get far less calories than if you just ate what she ate (as happens when you say eat eggs or meat from animals rather than what they eat instead), but in exchange for that calorific loss you get a greater diversity of nutrients.
Breastfeeding women are not magic. Any nutrients they can make from potatoes and put into milk, can also be made by any other healthy human. With less energy loss.
Also… regardless of nutritional trends, sufficient calories are the most important part of any diet. Ok. Besides water.
As a breastfeeding mom, it was explained to me that it's super important to keep my calories up and take my vitamins because baby is gonna get all those nutrients from my milk, whether I ate them or not. The vitamins were for MY benefit, cause my body would leech the nutrients from my brain and skeleton if i wasn't eating well enough...
About that... How did the guards miss the fact his shit started to smell like baby poo? You know the smell. Plus, it never stopped? And the milky breath?
It's a prison.
In the dark ages.
The Guards aren't going to smell milk on his breath or over the rest of the shit piled in the corner, or even their own stinking breath.
"We're going to a dungeon.. I should really pack a toothbrush and an overnight bag... I'm sure I'll be fine without spare clothes since I only own one set that never gets washed and it's winter so bath time is about 4 months away..."
Any populated area would've smelt worse than the back end of slaughterhouse.
Bro we’re talking about a prisoner hundreds of years ago. I think breast milk would be at the absolute bottom of the list of things his breathe smelled like.
The painting is a version of "Roman Charity"
The story has been portrayed by numerous artists, I had trouble finding out who painted the one in this post... but Peter Paul Rubens, Caravaggio, Hans Sebald Beham, and Rembrandt Peale are known to have painted versions of the Roman Charity story.

There are a few different versions of the story, and we don’t know if it actually happened or not.
Unless you’ve been convicted and then drowned as a witch. If you get free from the restraints it confirms you’re a witch.

Not as weird as the end of Grapes of Wrath. I mean at least she knows him.
Yeah, but Grapes of Wrath is non-family members. EDIT: All my notifications are now moral quandaries about incest and nipples. I hope you're happy Reddit.
I think breastmilk is intended precisely for family members...

Now this is interesting.
This guy breastmilks
Grandpa?
It's for humans and animals in general, and the reason we can survive off just breast milk is that we evolved to digest it at any age
You wouldn’t help your dad out and save his life? Questionable choice but life and death is a different story
It's not if you'd do it or not. It's whether it's weirder to let a stranger or your dad suck on your nipples. r/brandnewsentence
Nipple sucking is completely natural and has just become over sexualized by society. It's legit one of the first instincts we have besides breathing.
...Doesn't mean I'd let strangers or my dad do that to me without good reason.
Would it be less weird if he used a straw?
I feel like I'd rather die than suck on my daughter's titty but I've never faced starvation.
What about like your son's nipples then?
Is it fucked up that sounds less weird to me?
Wetnurses were also very common, Richard Nixons mom was one.
But they nursed babies not grown men
I honestly can’t decide if that’s better or worse
I love that Steinbeck is up here. That’s the first thing I thought of when seeing this. “She looked up and across the barn, and her lips came together and smiled mysteriously.”
Me too. That ending stuck with me. Adore Steinbeck.
Remind me prese?
The family takes shelter in some kind of barn, and there’s an old starving man in there, so Rosasharn whips her tit out to feed him/that’s the end.
Note: Her baby had been stillborn not long before
I never read The Grapes of Wrath. That never made me feel stupid until just now because of course people would talking about this book for a century and of course it never would have been taught to me precisely because of that one part. It's free on my kindle thank you
Worth the read
Is that the one where the internet goes down and they move Californee?
It’s still referred to as “Roman charity,” if you feel like going down a rabbit hole.
Implying "Greek Charity" involves a different...you know what I'm sorry I tried for this joke.

Breast Milk Saves 16 Adrift At Sea https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Breast-Milk-Saves-16-Adrift-At-Sea-2954641.php
if a mom drinks her own breast milk can she live forever?
Cows drink their own milk. In fact, once they discover it, they can’t be stopped. Grew up on a farm.
That's actually pretty funny. Cows are dorks irl if you spend time with them so I believe it Cow walking up the rest of the herd: "guys watch you won't fucking believe this"

I read that as a far side comic

"I have nipples, can you milk me Greg?"

Thank you for starting it, I haven't thought about that movie in so long, definitely cracking up a little bit now
How do they reach? Last I checked they weren't the most limber of animals and that kind of seems on the same level as sucking your own donger given the location
I think you are confused about the location

Ahhhh makes so much more sense. I was imagining them doing it standing up

No she won’t produce breast milk if she’s starving
But she’s not starving if she’s drinking breast milk (I know this wouldn’t actually work)
If so she would qualify as a Perpetual Motion Machine!
Yes
Sir Isaac Newton HATES this one simple trick!
How did she consume enough calories to keep that up?
I don't understand how 16 people didn't have enough liquid to survive yet she had enough liquid to breastfeed all of them small amounts for 12 days.
I’m trying to understand how she was hydrated enough to produce breast milk.
yeah the woman would need nutrition and water to produce it wouldn't she?
Sounds like each person took enough milk to barely coat the inside of their mouth.
Same seems fishy. It was probably Mia khalifa and 16 dwarfs or smth
>Mia Khalifa and the 16 Dwarves Disney is really running out of original ideas these days smh
That story is so sad for so many reasons and the fact a woman had to breastfeed 16 people to stay alive is not remotely the worst of them.
> "At that point, there was nothing more than prayer and my sister's breast" Thats uh...an interesting sentence
Yeah out of everything in the article, that’s what gave me pause haha
Imagining my under-producing self explaining to 16 other people that we're going to die even if I power pump 10 times a day and does anybody have different sized flanges for me to try?
LOL!! Ain’t that the truth. Also “uh oh, lactation massager battery died. Prepare to die.”
rip though she hasn't been able to breastfeed since
> To feed herself, she had her sister, Elena Mercedes, suck on her breast then pass the milk on to her. Infinite food hack??
God she must have been red raw
During the Famine here in Ireland much of the food available went to lactating women as they fed the whole family. It was a means of survival.
Which was most of the point behind Guinness at the time. It was a heavily fortified beverage
Correct and pregnant women were encouraged to drink it, they used to heat it up, according to my aunt, who drank it through 7 pregnancies. Thank God Ferrograd C was in the market by the time I had mine. I hate all stout with a passion!
That explains some things.
... Surely... its more efficient to eat the food rather than feed it to someone and eat their... byproduct?
