We sell breast milk without forcefully inseminating women just fine, this leap of logic doesn't make any sense. We treat cows as livestock because we view cows as animals not people, whether their treatment is cruel or not is a different irrelevant argument, but in Zootopia they'd just be seen as people and would have control over the supply so obviously cows wouldn't be treated the same way in Zootopia as they are in real life. They'd only have to milk themselves and sell it just like when women sell breast milk in real life. If anything it's even less weird and disturbing to think about than in real life.

Cows produce excess milk, and many animals will continue to lactate if milked for an extended period even after giving birth and no longer being pregnant. If it makes them money then why not?

Lab grown meat I assume.

We already do sell breast milk.

Probably the same as who gets milked in real life. Animals drink milk too I don't understand why people are constantly thrown off by this, it's just as normal if not more normal to drink milk in the animal kingdom.

If you used it to wipe up a spill you wouldn't have to wet it first, just throw it on the spill and it'll soak up the liquid, then when it starts expanding from that you can use it to wipe more thoroughly.

Usually you'd have a bag for garbage that you can put it in. It mainly saves space to start with in your pack. You have other supplies like food and water which will be used up over the course of the hike, providing more space on the way back that wouldn't be there at the start, so the towels expanding after use isn't as much of a problem.

You already have to take water anyways even if you take regular wet wipes, and you should already be taking some extra water just in case. You don't need as much water for these towels as wet wipes use, and in a lot of cases you can use water from the environment (like a river/stream/lake/rain/etc) so long as you're not ingesting it or putting it on wounds, say if you're using it to keep cool or clean yourself. You can also use excess water from what you already use for other stuff like if you're washing dishes or washing your hands and so on. So you don't really have to take more water than you would have anyway. Some hiking trails provide occasional stations with potable water as well, at least where I live, particularly if they're near/around a campground.

Less weight and saves space. Note how in the post image it mentions they're good for hiking, weight and space are a big thing when packing for hiking. They expand after use yeah, but you might not use all of them. So you have them just in case but still generally save space.

I mean lots of kids wanna be streamers when they grow up so I imagine that'd impress the class.

On Firefox it's an infinity symbol.

I mean to be fair a lot of characters like that get popular because a lot of autistic people identify with them and there are a lot of autistic people in fandom spaces.
