    It does? Look at your arms when you’re cold, you’ll see all your tiny hairs are standing to help prevent the body from losing too much heat.

      It’s either cold enough that I’m gonna die or it’s not. Those tiny hairs aren’t going to save me in a situation where it would matter.

        “It’s either cold enough that I’m gonna die or it’s not. Not sitting on the cold floor isn’t going to save me in a situation where it would matter.”
