Apparently, it's doing really well now.

And also they're called "lazy bears" in Ecuador.

"Faultier" in german as well, "faul" = lazy and "tier" = animal

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Same in Norwegian, dovendyr.

Doven = lazy, or more accurately, "action less". Dyr = animal.

Can we cut these little guys some slack!? Jesus. Every nation on Earth piling on.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Cut them some slack?! They've got all the slack already!

Portuguese: bicho preguica

PreguiΓ§a: to feel lazy, "bicho": a little less formal way to say animal

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

We literally called them lazies.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

In french we call them "paresseux" which means "lazy"

Haha that's cool, I wonder if there are any languages where the sloth isn't named after their slow nature?

Aww. He looks suspiciously calm. Like as soon as the officer puts him somewhere safe he's going to walk back into the danger.

Alright, we'll give you really cool claws, but the trade-off is that you'll move with the speed of darkness.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Speed of darkness

Isn't that basically exactly the same as the speed of light? 🀨

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Hehe, probably. It's just something I like to say, with the implication being that if the speed of light is fast, then the speed of darkness must be slow. It stands to reason, right?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Actually since darkness contains no information darkness can move at any speed

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

"Sir do you know how fast you were going?"

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Do you know why I stopped you?

Am I crazy or does that 2-toed sloth have 4 digits on its left hand?

Edit: my leading theory is its back left leg is next to its left foreleg. So we're seeing both finger and toenails.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Thesloth has both its left limbs right next to each other. In the first photo you can see both limbs more clearly but you can make out a small gap between them in the second photo too.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I noticed that, suspected ai, but I think I agree with your theory, especially considering the top photo shows them together

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Ngl looks like he pissed himself

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

i probably would in that situation, if I were a sloth

Oh my gosh what a cutie! Glad to see he's doing well now too!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

That's a muppet.
