    The Internet told me the appendix absolutely has a function:

    If you get sick and shit the absolute fuck out of everything in your bowels — full colon cleanse the hard way — your appendix holds back a colony of your intestinal support bacteria which serves as a base to recolonize your gut.

    This is extremely useful to anyone who lives in a world where illnesses of intense gut-cleansing shitting are a thing.
