#2I've always felt us removing things like tonsils and appendix without a high barrier was always premature. I remember kids wanting to have their tonsils removed to eat ice cream for a few weeks. lol.
Even if we have legacy parts in out body, I'm fine just letting it fester in my body as long as it's not trying to kill me.
Feels very similar to thinking farming just needs 3 nutrients. Turns out better farming requires a lot more.
I am just a plain old bozo though so I could be talking out me ass

The ice cream was to ease the pain. The cold calms the exposed nerves.

Makes sense. I was very jealous of my friends at the time but I never took mine out.

Very applicable to programming too. I'm pretty conservative as a programmer and I've had coworkers want to completely change a segment but you never know why some weird programming was done. There be dragons sometimes.

They did not express any indication that they didn’t understand why ice cream is often recommended, so you don’t need to be explaining it. The point of the comment is that kids don’t understand what’s going on, only hear about the ice cream thing, and then want the same procedure just so they can eat ice cream for a week.

My grandmother had hers taken out in the 1940's. Now she has a small pocket/hole that food gets stuck in which can cause her to gag and/or sometimes throw up.
