  The more I learn about giant ground sloths, the cooler they become.

    I was with you until I found out about the present day sloths and the latrines.

    The tar pits are that experiment on a grand scale.

    I looked it up and xenarthra is a super order and armadillos are in xenarthra with the rest of the ones I was thinking of.

  That ruler is really odd. Why start at zero on one side, and not the other?

  • beastlykings@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Because the numbers are upside down, if you flip the ruler over so you can read it, you can measure from thatb same side.

    But I agree, it’s a bit weird, I’d prefer both zeros on the same side

      I’m not sure you see what I am talking about. The ruler starts at 8 for the inch side. It clearly shows all 4 sides in the image. The more I look at it, though, I am suspecting that it isn’t a real ruler but a piece of paper that was cut with scissors.

      If both sides were the same scale, flipping makes sense. But with two different scales… no sense is made.

    That’s how the imperial measurement system works. Don’t try to understand it.

  Dope. I love the tar pits. I only visited once as a kid and would love to go back.

  I was visiting my grandma and she had to pick me up at LAX. We stayed somewhere in LA overnight and in the morning she asked if there was anything touristy I wanted to do before we drove to where she lived. I emphatically chose the La Brea Tar Pits! I was 14? That sounds right.

  It rocked. I have a cool shirt that doesn’t fit in my pile of cool shirts that need to become a quilt.

    Once they developed the armor, probably nothing which let them grow to the giant size.
