Listen. It takes a lot to out-chill a geologist.

In swedish it's the "winter street"

Looks like the Chinese aren't as milky as us westerners

That's because it's another language.

Milktopia, dominated by mammals obsessed with milk?

Not quite right. How about:

Homotropolis, dominated by homosapians obsessed with homosex?

Closer, but what about:

Earth, dominated by earthlings obsessed with earth?

Fairly accurate, but ever since we moved away from agrarian societies, we don't care nearly enough about earth. Unless of course, we consider our obsession with exclusive control of territory and property, in which case it totally checks out.

Mammals have mammary glands.

Titty class

Yo imagine no titties tho.

Going off of memory, a god (Zeus?) was suckling his mother's teat but somehow slipped off and sprayed milk across the sky? Been a while

Now i wish i hadn't

In Greek mythology, Zeus places his son born by a mortal woman, the infant Heracles, on Hera's breast while she is asleep so the baby will drink her divine milk and become immortal. Hera wakes up while breastfeeding and then realizes she is nursing an unknown baby: she pushes the baby away, some of her milk spills, and it produces the band of light known as the Milky Way. -- Wikipedia

I suspect the band of light looked whiter than the black sky and so was named that way first, and the the Hellenists invented a -- I'm going to lose the proper word here -- explanatory myth that tells the tale of how it got to be that way.

For most of the classical age, Poseidon was the big daddy, and Zeus came later, so I think this myth is late in the game.

It's not their milk

That would be the most understandable portion of the whole shindig. Fungi are a major idea (and everywhere in science fiction) for how to deal with interstellar travel because of their unique niche in the various cycles of life. I would bet an alien species that can travel through the vast reaches of space would also be familiar with using biotechnology.
