Huge tunnels discovered that were not made by humans or geology
...Many of the passages are longer than 600 yards (550 meters) and tall enough for an adult to walk through without bending.
The leading idea is that giant, extinct ground sloths dug these colossal shelters, turning parts of South America into a maze of underground homes...
...the tunnel walls are packed with claw marks, sometimes in three parallel grooves, right where a digging limb would bite into rock...

Clickbait title acting like it's a mystery...
It's obviously the giant sloths, because we can see the claw marks from giant sloths making them.
We've known for like a decade now.
Yeah.... But we have no evidence that proves they were terrestrial sloths. They were obviously creating these complex tunnels deep underground to hide something. Something like a space craft or teleportation gate to the sloth dimension.
You're just afraid to dig up the truth. #slothgate
I recently read that these specific sloths evolved into transgender hermaphrodites which ultimately led to their extinction. They've actually traced their rise and fall to the implementation of space lazers causing massive flooding around the world. Funny how history repeats itself.
Not every conspiracy has to end with gate.

Goddammit!
✌️ I'm not a gate. ✌️
I can tell by your gait.
Also they made the frogs gay
oh, you're not even sarcastic

and here some people complain about moles
Yeah, going off memory but they're why avocados evolved too.
They were big enough to eat them whole and poop out the seeds, so they're the reason we have guacamole.
Mom! The giant sloths have dug up the neighborhood again!
Elephants are also known to dig caves in search of salt

Before it moved into RFK's brain
anyone who's played rimworld knows these guys
Fuck. I “bricked” my Rimworld with too many mods awhile ago. I need to get back to troubleshooting…I love that game.
Rip em all out and try the bare essentials. You know, cut the list down to just 100 or so mods.
Already did. There are about about 96 mods I can’t play without. You know how it goes. I should have waited longer after Odyssey to try and build a mod list.
I’m thinking I’ll just start over clean and it will fix itself because a lots must have been smoothed out by now.
My first thought. Be careful though, those fuckers can rip arms off.
Of course this is not ground sloths, that's rediculous, they are too slow
This is of course the earthbending badgermoles

The photos in that old PDF they linked to are so cool, seeing all the claw marks.

By the way, did I ever mention that sloth stew is delicious?
That’s is one big bunny…
Spoiler alert: OP's mom's bad dragon XXXL tri-colored tentacle
Where's Burt Gummer when you need him?
this cave is not a natural formation
Sandworms!
Now the US will invade to "just take the spice."
Could have been south American flying kangaroos.
Don't be silly. Everyone knows the South American Flying Kangaroo made nests in tall trees from the bones of their victims.
Dwarves
It was me I made them (I was bored)
