Are we talking about the same image? Because the image I'm talking of says: (my emphasis)

fun fact:
your internal body temperature rises when you are infected because viruses are using your body for peer to peer file sharing

    Ok fine, it used the word virus, I just didn't consider that the primary point. Sorry if I upset you with my response earlier

    Not upset, just confused.

    The joke of the meme is that computer viruses will use your RAM to do stuff like mining crypto which will heat up your computer. Now the meme claims that biological viruses do the same with your body. This is wrong (obviously) because the body heat is actively done by the body to kill off the virus. Your comment has nothing to do with any of this so I was confused

    I think you misunderstood my post. My point was not that viruses are trying to give you a fever. My point was that thousands of years ago this was true. Random stories were files, story telling was file sharing, telling a story by definition burns energy so increases heat. Anytime you use energy you make some amount of energy which gets burned off and often results in atleast minorly increased temperatures.
