The ships computer, Eddie, becomes unable to accept new processing requests because it is running at full capacity after being told to make "Tea, with Data's breast milk" by William Riker.
I know it's a meme but there's an actual answer: because humans have them, and Dr. Soong wanted Data to feel human. That was the whole point of the project from what I understand.
Red Alert!!!! ... Computer is diverting power from life support! .... the warp core is failing and being drained of power ... lights and control panels all across the ship start flickering and become non functional
He ain't called "partially functional" Data.
Because he’s fully functional.
AND ANATOMICALLY CORRECT
Guys... Data doesn't have nipples.
(I know it's Lore but they're identical, shut up!)
Edit: also check out them buns of polyalloy bioplast!
Is it the mandula oblongata?
Medulla
Lornery
lol .... these comments also got me to thinking of the whole 'made in God's image'
What if God was a deformed or deranged version of whatever species he/she/it is
What if we're all just perfect copies of an imperfect original?
I read something the other day about how christians will draw Adam and Eve with belly buttons..... Like, makes you think...

Imagine if Dr. Soong wanted to have a bit of fun and place a third nipple on Data's body just to mess people who would see him naked.
And Dr Han Fastolfe...ehm Soong
Computer ... give me a list of memes from 21st century earth
... Personal screen explodes ...
Four hours after the inquiry the computer is still lagging just trying to collect it all.

One is for tuning the radio
The other regulates body temperature
KRYTEN! One day we will have Jazz FM in the ready room
I found the Pulaski.
Data has nipples Greg, could you milk him?
They are programmed for maximum pleasure.
There's a mastadon account called "rikers search history" that addresses this question
Does Data have nipples?
I mean, I dunno, why does he have anything?
Why does he have a nose?
canonical answer? Vanity is practically a genetic trait of the Soongs.
I just assumed they were for machine milk. I bet one is chocolate. Think about it.
Vex milk like in Destiny 2 lmfaoooo
Tiny parabolic antennas.
Or a belly button?
Dr. Soong is a narcissist. He created life in his image.
I'd like you to tell me how else you expect him to feed Lal.
I'll do you one better: Where does Data have nipples?
I have no evidence that he does
