If they still existed they would probably have moved into existing human-mined tunnels. Whether they’d wait until we abandoned them or chase us out, or help us build them, would depend on our relationship with them
Agent641@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What if we domesticated them and used them to mine coal?

“A train detrained in the tunnel due to a giant sloth sleeping on the tracks. No word of survivors at the time of recording, but officials say that they are expecting multiple fatalities including the sloth.”
tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
that sounds like the plot of Ring of Fire
HexagonSun@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The tiny thumbnail for this looked like a belly button on my phone, had no idea what I was tapping on at first

A(lmost)NSFW
Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The fun part is that you were more curious than apprehensive and were willing to subject yourself to whatever the Internet brought you for the day.
radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Big enough to be comfortable used by humans
Pffffbtbtbt, housing crisis schmousing crisis. There’s your answer, chaps.
BadlyDrawnRhino@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Just wait until some oil baron says that sloth-dug tunnels is the way to “deal” with climate change.
Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If they are willing to bring back giant burrowing sloths, I am willing to experience the “tunnel hovels to escape climate change” timeline so long as I get to be a sloth supervisor.
Cataphract@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Coober Peby Australia has you covered!
dumbass@leminal.space 1 year ago
So my take from this is, the higher above ground level a sloth is, the lazier it gets.
Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I heard if you turn out the lights and kiss your crush, you can find a way out of the tunnel.
tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Teacher says, every time a bell rings, a secret tunnel collapses on two lovers.
Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I may not be remembering correctly, but didn’t Sloth dig the tunnel in Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood?
viking@beehaw.org 1 year ago
I’m having a hard time not seeing a belly button.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And what happened to the giant sloths?
name_NULL111653@pawb.social 1 year ago
Earth warms up from ice age. Big sloth too fuzzy. Loses fuzz and tries to climb tree. Big sloth too big. Small big sloth gets smaller, climbs tree.
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
Lol I know this is a joke but they died, tree sloths existed back then too and are a totally separate group of animals. They didn’t evolve from the animals that dug this tunnel.
BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
But where does Scrat figure in this?
Infynis@midwest.social 1 year ago
We ate them 😔

Miniaturisation and the march of progress
How do you think we got tardigrades
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 1 year ago
We domesticated them and made purse sloths.

… Looks like the recent images from inside my sinus’.
Less boogies though.

I wasn’t sure if this was true or a weird misunderstanding or conspiracy type thing. Seems to be true. Here is an accessible writeup: bbc.com/…/20231127-brazils-mysterious-tunnels-mad…
Nastybutler@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I thought this was a posting to “Idiots of Facebook” at first. Guess I’m the idiot

[deleted]pacmondo@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I don’t know, it sure seems like there’s an idea this poster has passed on to all of us…
androogee@midwest.social 1 year ago
You’re confused about what a meme is!
Have a better informed day
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 year ago
An idea that spreads through a culture becoming a commonly known and repeated concept?
9point6@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But it’s been shared
Given the community we’re in—what’s a meme?
skhayfa@lemmy.world 1 year ago
These giant slots dug these giants tunnels to hide from whom?
Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 year ago
To hide from their responsibility.
affiliate@lemmy.world 1 year ago
even bigger sloths
iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 year ago

ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 11 months ago
To protect their young would be my guess.
Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Short-faced bear or humans.

Sloth city.
chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That’s in the south, right? I heard a lot of humanists and that ilk are trying to stop them from building it?
Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You are thinking of Pig City in Georgia.
Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 1 year ago
Can you imagine being stuck in the dawn of human agriculture, and you seek shelter in a nice cave that you found… And then a Giant Sloth just lumbers in after a bit.
I mean, I imagine any Homo species of the time would know not to go inside one of these, but still.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 year ago
So not giant sloths specifically, but Australian Aboriginals have oral histories describing megafauna that went extinct around the same time period
blasstula@lemmy.world 1 year ago
wow, that implies an aboriginal oral history spanning at least 40,000 years if true
tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Megatheriums were herbivores, so it would be like spending the night with an elephant.
Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 1 year ago
I hear what you’re saying, and I recognize anyone inside would be safe from being eaten… However, as with an elephant, I wouldn’t want to be woken up in the middle of the night having intruded upon their home.
mihor@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Sounds a lot like Minecraft.
Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Sloths are well known for their industrious nature.

Richard Gere is wishing he was born back then.
DesertComrade@hexbear.net 1 year ago
This is capitalist propaganda This tunnel was in fact dug by me
tilefan@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I wonder how fast they could dig.
Dufurson@fedia.io 1 year ago
6' tall? IG of that sloth? uwu

PositiveControl@feddit.it 1 year ago
Exactly my thought lol
x4740N@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I don’t remember this image being from atla, is it perhaps from TLOK
learningduck@programming.dev 1 year ago
It was during ATLA, they helped evacuate earth kingdom citizens when the fire nation took over the kingdom.
Wakmrow@hexbear.net 1 year ago
1000% atla. Secret tunnel episode. Maybe the best episode?
Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think so, looks like Prince Wu up to the right there.
AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
lol this is immediately what I thought of haha
