This is capitalist propaganda This tunnel was in fact dug by me
I dig myself deeper holes in a regular basis.
I wonder how fast they could dig.
So my take from this is, the higher above ground level a sloth is, the lazier it gets.
Not a meme. Have a nice day!
I don’t know, it sure seems like there’s an idea this poster has passed on to all of us…
You’re confused about what a meme is!
Have a better informed day
An idea that spreads through a culture becoming a commonly known and repeated concept?
Any datum that spreads from person to person.
Commonly known is not a part of any definition.
So is a group text deciding where to have dinner a meme?
But it’s been shared
Given the community we’re in—what’s a meme?
🎵 Two lovers forbidden from one another 🎵
🎵 A war divides their people 🎵
🎵 And a mountain divides them apart, build a path to be together 🎵
SECRET TUNNEL!!!
...Yeah, and I forget the next couple of lines, but then it goes... Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel! Through the mountain! Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel
6’ tall? IG of that sloth? uwu
And what happened to the giant sloths?
We ate them 😔
We domesticated them and made purse sloths.
Miniaturisation and the march of progress
How do you think we got tardigrades
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.
But where does Scrat figure in this?
Lol I know this is a joke but they died out, 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. They do share a common ancestor millions of years ago but this is like saying saber tooth cats evolved into house cats.
but this is like saying saber tooth cats evolved into house cats.
I’m pretty sure my house cat believes this is true, evidence to the contrary be damned.
but we all came from the same common ancestor which was the naked nucleic acid/peptide chain
I heard if you turn out the lights and kiss your crush, you can find a way out of the tunnel.
Teacher says, every time a bell rings, a secret tunnel collapses on two lovers.
Basically a badgermole from Avatar, the last airbender
lol this is immediately what I thought of haha
Exactly my thought lol
I don’t remember this image being from ATLA, is it perhaps from TLOK
1000% atla. Secret tunnel episode. Maybe the best episode?
Most not remember it then
But… The secret tunnel song! How unforgettable!
It was during ATLA, they helped evacuate earth kingdom citizens when the fire nation took over the kingdom.
To be fair it has been a long time since I watched ATLA
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
that sounds like the plot of Ring of Fire
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.”
At the “Grand canyon caverns” in northern Arizona, there are claw marks from a giant sloth who fell into the caves from a hole at ground level and clawed desperately to the walls trying to get out. They tell that story on the tour
Big enough to be comfortable used by humans
Pffffbtbtbt, housing crisis schmousing crisis. There’s your answer, chaps.
Coober Peby Australia has you covered!
Just wait until some oil baron says that sloth-dug tunnels is the way to “deal” with climate change.
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.
These giant slots dug these giants tunnels to hide from whom?
To hide from their responsibility.
enter X-files theme song
even bigger sloths
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.
Sounds a lot like Minecraft.
Megatheriums were herbivores, so it would be like spending the night with an elephant.
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.
nah they’d be chill. They’d be like “waaat” and make some initial annoyed sounds at first, but then once you pull out the bong they’d settle down real quick
So not giant sloths specifically, but Australian Aboriginals have oral histories describing megafauna that went extinct around the same time period
