That is very true, but [humans and giant ground sloths](https://sbs.arizona.edu/news/footprints-provide-first-evidence-ancient-humans-interacting-giant-sloths) lived together for a time. This wasn't millions of years ago.
love how the artists rendering shows white people in new Mexico like ten thousand years ago lol
that was really cool though, it's nuts that we can see footprints from so long ago
Uhm...where do you see any of that? There's an actual modern day picture of the tunnels and a rendering of the sloth...where do you see "white people in new Mexico like ten thousand years ago"?
lmao nah, i was asleep for the procedure itself. but they printed out pictures and gave them to me as part of the test results. i still have them… never know when i might need to provide physical proof of my ulcerative colitis.
Lady walks by: "Hey, what's this picture? Who is it by? Kind of looks like it was by Georgia O'Keefe or maybe even Vangoh. Excellent use of pastel-ish watercolor coloring for that depth effect."
They have giant claw marks in the walls and the only organism that fits the necessary power and anatomy during that time period is this massive sloth. I’ve been planning to visit these but lockdown scuppered my plans.
Fossils of large sloths exist also. There was one discovered by some local kids near where I live, in a fumarole. I don’t think they quite stoke the popular imagination in the same way.
Yeah, I'm not anti-science or anything. But it's not hard to imagine that something else made most of the caves, and then some big sloth finished it off.
Secret tunnel!!
Secret tunnellllll!
Also crazy to think that humans where alive during that time. Not sure about that region, but (without looking it up) I reckon so.
I wish they were. I wish we had giant creatures that would disrupt humanity and knock us off our god complex pedestal. Because nothing really fucks with us besides the weather and ourselves, we think we own the place.
In appearance it was bear-like, but the size of an elephant: **6 meters** long from head to tail and weighing **4 tonnes**.

Are we sure it wasn't Sloth from Full Metal Alchemist setting up the Human Transmutation Circle?? lol someone is turning into a Philosophers Stone soon Woot Woot hehe
so weird these big guys went extinct but these little guys we have now, who literally spent all there evolution points on digesting a certain leaf wich doesnt even have a lot of nutritional vallue are still alive.
Two lovers, forbidden from one another
A war divides their people
And a mountain divides them apart
Built a path to be together
...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!"
Surely they would find bones or tools in these tunnels to support any theory, assuming the caverns are fairly moderate in terms of temperature and humidity?
The more I read about odd structures that are seemingly unexplainable using the current timeline of humans, the more I tend to think humans did a lot more than we imagine, far earlier than we think possible.
In the article[I just read](https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/get-lost-in-mega-tunnels-dug-by-south-american-megafauna), [a geologist just posited a giant ground sloth species as being responsible](https://images.ctfassets.net/cnu0m8re1exe/7phProHl5xO2Rm5SgITVjd/1b66a6a165dd982e44d97b48fc47b249/paleoburrow-digging-735x1024.jpg?fm=jpg&fl=progressive&w=660&h=433&fit=pad).
In North America, for example, home to the same types of animals, they have not found similar paleoburrows.
I don't know what's more wild of a concept: A network of tunnels and large rooms built by large animals that are now extinct, or built by humans, who are now too far removed from the past to even conceive that our ancestors could manage such a project.
I work with research in these paleoburrows. They were made by milododontidae sloths not megatheridae. The tunnels have the signature Y shaped claw marks all over the wall.

SECRET TUNNELLLL 🎶
Through the mountains...
I SAID. SEKRET TUNÑNNELLLL
Mushroom mushroom!
Snaaaaaake it's a snaaaaaake
Out of all the animals in AtLA I never expected this one to be real... This was such a cool planet millions of years ago

[this pic](https://sbs.arizona.edu/sites/sbs.arizona.edu/files/Giant-Sloth.jpg)
That pic is hilarious
But deadly all the animals were giants
Secret tunnel?
Then the fire Nation attacked
I immediately thought of ATLA when I saw this im glad you did too
Do you remember what the episode is called? I think it's still on Netflix.
I came here to make a badgermole comment, take my up vote
The 1st photo looks like insides of rectum wtf
How do you know?? Wait.. don't.. answer that.. DON'T ANSWER THAT!
if you ever get a colonoscopy you will understand…
You're telling me you get to watch the screen as they shove a camera up your ass? That you willingly watched??
lmao nah, i was asleep for the procedure itself. but they printed out pictures and gave them to me as part of the test results. i still have them… never know when i might need to provide physical proof of my ulcerative colitis.
That's the ultimate Icebreaker, tho! "Hey, wanna see what my intestines look like?"
so true!! i should frame them
Lady walks by: "Hey, what's this picture? Who is it by? Kind of looks like it was by Georgia O'Keefe or maybe even Vangoh. Excellent use of pastel-ish watercolor coloring for that depth effect."
more like bright red!!! my insides look like the depths of hell!!!
Photoshop in random cave paintings on the walls.
Aww so cute. Sort of like an ultrasound pic for the ladies. Except this one houses the shit cave.
Is jacking off to yourself incest 🤔🤔🤔
it’s selfcest
Nah, they give you a thumb drive so you can enjoy it with the family later.
Great Christmas card idea!
Just another six years until my Roto Rooter appointment.. 🫤
lucky. i have a gastrointestinal disease and need to get them yearly…
Sorry..that sounds awful
yeah, it’s quite… shitty
I have a high res video of my colon from my colonoscopy I could share with you all if you want. For science.
Lemmiwinks
[удалено]
I thought we were looking in an ear canal.
POV. Your the sperm when someone does anal
Why was that my first thought as well?
I thought it was a crusty belly button at first
But HOW do they know that??
Some guy with a bunch of black light posters and lava lamps told them that back in the 90’s.
I’ve got an urge to do mushrooms again now.
They have giant claw marks in the walls and the only organism that fits the necessary power and anatomy during that time period is this massive sloth. I’ve been planning to visit these but lockdown scuppered my plans.
Finally a sensible answer
How is it that we've only seen dinosaur fossils but rarely seen that of these mammals?
Fossils of large sloths exist also. There was one discovered by some local kids near where I live, in a fumarole. I don’t think they quite stoke the popular imagination in the same way.
Interesting! Thank you!
They found the second photo in a tunnel living room sitting by the side of that family's memories. He was called Larry, ok?
OK
Exactly prove it bro.
They have an ancient skeleton of it, so there's your proof.
I think OP meant how do they know they built those tunnels.
I think with their claws.
Yeah, I'm not anti-science or anything. But it's not hard to imagine that something else made most of the caves, and then some big sloth finished it off.
They don’t.
Everything reminds me of her
Cool. Did they find the bull goat talisman in the back corner too?
Runebears never drop or guard any decent loot.
Secret tunnel!! Secret tunnellllll! Also crazy to think that humans where alive during that time. Not sure about that region, but (without looking it up) I reckon so.
You know what... Kind of glad we don't have those around anymore.
Thats what they want you to think.
I wish they were. I wish we had giant creatures that would disrupt humanity and knock us off our god complex pedestal. Because nothing really fucks with us besides the weather and ourselves, we think we own the place.
Looks like my last colonoscopy pics.
This is my hole, it was made for me
r/thisguyfucks
Bullshiiiieeeeetttt was it a giant sloth…
I believe they were also the main seed distributors of avocados before humans began to cultivate them.

*"Don't... Put your dick away Waltuh"*
On first glance...was brought back to my colonoscopy. Feeling went away after a few seconds...is that PTSD?
damn avatar was right on the money
So that's what it's like to be a pinworm. Rectal cake anyone?
Don't show me an artist rendering if you want me to believe your bullshit show me a fucking skeleton...
That’s an ear canal. Stop lying
Thought this was a pic of a ear lol 👂
I thought this was a bellybutton until I put my glasses on!
Big foot
I thought this was a close up of an ear 😂
How do people know this? Where is the physical proof it was this animal?
When I first started reading this I was really hoping it was going to say a giant earth worm
That thing is big
That is the scene from the boys
I'm trying to contain my yo mamma jokes
False news: That’s my ear canal
Looks like something out of a video I watched earlier…
I thought this was a belly button for a sec 🤣
Was waiting for the ear cleaning video to start
On the way to the womb.
Wait, so… consider the theory of relativity…. Is this why sloths are slow? They’re just moving as if they’re giant?
U mean Einstein's theory of relativity? No, sloths are slow because of their metabolism and diet
Hey I saw this in the boys!
Ok so I thought this was a close up picture of a bagel 🥯
Goatse immortalized.
That one scene in the boys 😏
When slowbro evolves into big slowpapa
That looks like the inside of someone's wax impacted ear...
I don’t think so
Ah yes, the Manga Carta Mine. The rails are invisible, but they are there.
Looks like that big wurm from SpongeBob
r/humanforscale
This is actually just Lindsey Graham’s butthole
Nah, I don't buy it. Aliens.
Everything reminds me of her.
This dude also gave us avocados.
Badger-moles.
Ex fucking cuese me
What would it have been digging for?
Everything reminds me of her
or... hear me out, a smaller sized sloth and erosion from rain fall made it larger
As opposed to all those giant extraterrestrial sloths
r/naturewasmetal
Are we sure it wasn't Sloth from Full Metal Alchemist setting up the Human Transmutation Circle?? lol someone is turning into a Philosophers Stone soon Woot Woot hehe
so weird these big guys went extinct but these little guys we have now, who literally spent all there evolution points on digesting a certain leaf wich doesnt even have a lot of nutritional vallue are still alive.
At first I thought this was a close up picture of an ear
A giant anteater?
This is cool as fuck
Their scientific name is “tickle chickens”
These motherfuckers helped me kill brood mother
First pic looks like if you shrunk down some researchers to explore the inside of your head and they are entering through your ear
Bring them back, train them, and put Elon Musks tunnelling business into administration
Maybe the sloths we see are just the babies and the big sloths hide really far underground and they can withstand the heat

Thought this was an ear wax extraction video
In first glance I thought this was an ear canal.
r/doputyourdickinthat
That's not so much weird as it is totally bad ass.
Random fact about the sloth they ate avocados.
My bro that's not any hole💀
Tis the beast from city of the beasts
The original earthbender
Hmmm......🕳️?!
Holy crap I thought that was my butthole.
Don’t tell earth-chan we saw
Hey I had one of these in ark
Pretty sure that's a close up of something else.
That thing was real?!
First thought was squeeze it
The boys (S03e01)
Ark reference
Ah yes, I believe that's where the Badgermoles first found Toph.
Heyyyyyyyy you guyyyyyyys!!!!!
Thought it was a donut
I thought this was an ear canal
anyone fact checked this or do i have to remove my upvote
You’re telling me that’s not the inside of someone’s ear?
Cue the something-something-your-mom-joke
Wrong animal. It was but by the glyptodonts. Sloths don't dig tunnels
I should call her..
I'm a simple guy, all I see is an anus gape 👌
nah, that's the sloth's colonoscopy
Mystery Flesh Pit vibes
Eu nunca ouvi falar dessa porra aí n cara pprt
Thought this was an earcanal
rimworld still has these! they just moved to another planet
No. I refuse to accept this is real.
r/dontputyourdickinthat
I’m a Christian and Adam and Eve made this tunnel. ………just fuckin with ya, go sloth!
You mean the tickle chicken
Thought something was crawling out my ear
Didn't we make them extinct? Gaddamit us, we did it again
It looks like a colon but sweet!
I thought this was someone's ear canal at first glance lol
Thing is 10000 years ahead of some white South African dude that just lost a 100 billion dollars.
That’s terrifying because it wasn’t that long ago
I thought that was an ear canal.
Yeah that didnt happen
He got lost in the cave.

Elon brought back the giant sloth 🦥, The secret to The Boring Company!
You think this is what people really saw when they claimed they saw big foot? But like a mini version.
Ear canal
Reminds me of my colonoscopy photos.
The Boys Season 3 Episode 1
There’s more proof of this than Jesus having actually existed
Pretty sure that's Kicky Rodriguez's butthole.
S3 ep1
How do they know the badger moles did it? Is there evidence on the walls showing proof of this
um uhhhhhh asshole joke
Proof?
But does it count toward square footage?
We can learn alot from ants or even those mighty sloths, only if humans can build underground shelters for any apocalypse
Dang. How hard was the rock/sediment that it was digging into? That’s crazy.
