So they dug enormous tunnels with long sloth claws, up to 600 m (2000 ft) into rock & earth.
These surviving "paleoburrows" form complexes, with numerous cross-tunnels, that survive long after the elephant-sized ground sloths that dug them.
It's a bit of a mystery why they're almost all in Brazil.

Huge tunnels discovered that were not made by humans or geology
Huge tunnels under southern Brazil and northern Argentina were potentially made by giant, Ice Age sloths for refuge and rest

Hi, I am studying library science, the thing everyone claims LLMs are good for.
Spoiler: they aren’t.
I’ll start with a hypothetical based on a thing I have dealt with a thousand times. Person comes in and says, “I don’t remember the title or the author but I know it’s about vampires.”

Just as supermarkets don't pay you to check out your own shopping and yet magically hire far fewer staff than ever before, you'll be surrounded by a barrage of shit goods with shit pictures on them and yet it'll still cost you the same to buy even though no artist is getting paid.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Jeremy, I have followed your science advocacy on this platform with respect, but I find this thread deeply hurtful and sad and I am going to tell you why. While my wife did her postdoc at CSHL, she and our many dear friends had to endure the racist rhetoric of this man, which did constant harm
On one evening, the speakers were divided up and went to dinner parties hosted by some of the wealthy folks who lived around Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island. My dinner was delightful, with good conversation with our host (the mayor of a nearby village), his friends, and some other speakers.
