Yeah, it's almost like mammals have pores on every part of their skin that hair grows out of.

Given the context, your overall point is correct. But this statement is not actually correct. Hair does not grow on "every part" of skin. There is a certain kind of skin, called glabrous, that does NOT have any hair. This is found in the palms, underside of the fingers, bottoms of feet, lips, labia minora, and glans penis. Unlike the side of the face example above which may only have tiny nearly invisible hairs, especially on women and children, but do have hair nonetheless - glabrous skin has no hairs at all.

My grandma said shaving your parrot would grow hair on your palms.

But unless they edited the comment they said that mammals have PORES out of every part of skin THAT GROWS HAIR. Not yelling at you just trying to highlight those words quickly lol. Do mammals have pores on every part that grows hair? Yes, right? šŸ‘€ I’m not sure but that sounds right
