Basically a badgermole from Avatar, the last airbender

Exactly my thought lol

I don't remember this image being from ATLA, is it perhaps from TLOK

[โ€“] learningduck@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It was during ATLA, they helped evacuate earth kingdom citizens when the fire nation took over the kingdom.

[โ€“] x4740N@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

To be fair it has been a long time since I watched ATLA

I'm having a hard time not seeing a belly button.

[โ€“] dumbass@leminal.space 20 points 3 months ago

So my take from this is, the higher above ground level a sloth is, the lazier it gets.

I heard if you turn out the lights and kiss your crush, you can find a way out of the tunnel.

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Teacher says, every time a bell rings, a secret tunnel collapses on two lovers.

... Looks like the recent images from inside my sinus'.

Less boogies though.

6' tall? IG of that sloth? uwu

[โ€“] tilefan@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

I wonder how fast they could dig.

[โ€“] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

[โ€“] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 points 3 months ago

So not giant sloths specifically, but Australian Aboriginals have oral histories describing megafauna that went extinct around the same time period

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.

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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

Giant Sloths high as fuck... Would that make the super sloths, or go the opposite way and speed them up?
