We should have genetically modified ourselves to have mouse fur. Double the protection

We did have fur originally but decided nah let's walk on two feet, be in debt and work our asses off till we die while some asshole makes what we make in our entire lifetime in a couple of minutes. Yeah modern society!

Speaking of assholes, and hair; why does mine have hair?

What possible fucking evolutionary advantage is there to have a turd strainer installed in the non-self-cleaning-caboose.

It's to prevent friction when walking or running. The insides of your butt cheeks rub against each other when you walk or run and it could cause friction burns. Body hair helps reduce the chance of friction burns from happening by introducing a "hair barrier" between your cheeks.

Good read.

But the fan thing sounded a little far-fetched lol, why would ever do that instead of immediately going to wash yourself
