  • By the way, the evolutionary reason is far more interesting. We need to wear clothes in cold weather because we don’t have fur. Why did we evolve to not have fur? Because not having fur allows humans to sweat. Sweating is the most effective way to get rid of excess body heat, far better then panting that many mammals use. This allows humans to run without stopping for much longer than animals, allowing humans to hunt animals by chasing them until they tire out and stop.

    Of course, other animals could not evolve sweating because they are unable to use clothes and fire to keep themselves warm without fur.


  • Quite possibly not. Remember that the admins running lemmy instances have very limited revenue so paying for servers is an issue. Some instances even encourage posting links instead of images to save on cost.

    Videos are in a league of their own when it comes to size and therefore the server power needed. Lemmy probably can’t afford it. Its the price we pay for freedom and no ads. You have to link videos.
