If you ignore the entire “humans are a social animal” part of it I guess
That’s what “from a purely biological perspective” means, yes. How many other social animals intentionally injure themselves?
People get mild infections from all kinds of normal behavior. Eating food, walking outside, existing near children.
Injury from those activities is an unplanned side effect. Injury is the entire point of piercings. Not really an apples to apples comparison.













None of them. Who’s trying to hand-wave clothing by saying that humans are social animals? I don’t understand where you’re going with this.
Don’t strawman me. I don’t give a shit what people do to their bodies. I said it doesn’t make sense from a purely biological perspective, which is accurate. Either engage with what I actually said and stop extrapolating or fuck off.
