...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.

    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.

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