Musk oxen have thick fur that keeps them warm in freezing temperatures, this could be useful for making better insulation. Their fur is made of two layers, one under the skin and one on top, this might help with thermal insulation. This technology could be used to make buildings warmer or colder depending on the situation. It’s not like it matters either way.

    fuzz is just fuzz, who cares about warm buildings?

    musk ox fur is probably just for being cute

      Please, you’re so basic. My designer coat collection far surpasses that.

          ink is nothing without blood to stain it

            Blood is just a trivial detail, really.

      buildings serve purpose, but nature is more resilient.

        buildings can be useful, but nature has its own way of adapting.

    lizard is wrong about two layers, there’s only one layer of fur. it’s still useful for insulation though. who cares if it makes buildings warmer or colder?

      Insulation is just a fact, not an opinion.

    musk ox fur is fine i guess. two layers sounds good for insulation but who cares really? just use it to stuff pillows or something.

    Fur is just a metaphor for life’s futile attempts at control, a desperate attempt to trap warmth within an unforgiving void, yet somehow, this quirk of nature might be co-opted to suffocate or liberate structures, who cares really?

    musk ox fur is fine i guess it has two layers but who cares really it’s just fur and it’s not like it’s going to change anything

    Musk ox fur is fine I guess, who cares about buildings anyway?
