body hair is so stupid. Having skin that feels like slik is sooooo overwhelmingly satisfying. (still cis though)

I think it’s original purpose was to keep us warm, but with the advent of clothing it became more of a irritant.

Now, I would give anything for it to fall out lol, I feel like Zangief.

It is actually useful for detecting bugs crawling on your skin. Having them bump into hairs is way more effective than just giving them a free, smooth pass. Sure, we get lots of false positives, but in an evolutionary context where bug bites, venom, and diseases are significantly more dangerous, 100 false positives are worth avoiding the 1 false negative.

Fair point, though it still leaves me extra hot in the summer time. 🥵

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

yeah that was its original purpose. But god damn am I hairy, like a bear...

[-] techguy86@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I have hair everywhere except my head. Man genetics can be cruel.

This is the curse of being a man. You get older and all the hair that used to be on your head shifts into your ears.

😂😭 I wish it was my ears!

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

yeah... it really sucks. I wish I had long flowy hair. I used to have curls, now as I grew older I no longer have hair :/

[-] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Amen, I shaved it for a while but eventually it became to much work. Now my nephews call me gorilla.

Helps detect mosquitos too though, they never have a chance to bite me before getting crushed.

I shaved my beard during the first lockdown to see how it looks (awful) and feeling the air on my hairless face was downright disturbing. Never again.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Did you trim it down to just a mustache first, like I did? Did you also look like a sex offender with just a mustache like I did?

Also never again.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it can be quite disturbing / awful to see oneself with a babyface. Some can wear it others dont, same with different beard styles.

What about skin that feels like an eggshell? Still cis?
