    Maybe we should get an update on the human body. For example, permanently remove Body Hair, since it no longer serves any function.

      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.”

          Until you remember that your body needs energy to heat your body, and needs less energy when you lose less, having more spare energy for other things like your immune system.
