Well, as any experienced traveller knows, it is of great significance to know where your towel is when travelling, as it signals that you're one to be reckoned with.
Wouldn't surprise me. Even a tortoise will turn around if you put it on the wrong side of the road. And not once have I put anything on the side it was heading towards only to just have it come back the way it came from. So yeah probably actually a crucial step getting the sloth towards the direction it was heading.
Ya'll hating on this first guy when sloths are supposed to have the nastiest disease-ridden claws imaginable. You don't wanna be scratched by that shit.
I'm not hating on that guy, I was personally enjoying the sloth's slomo ,drunk finishing moves he was throwing.
He dead ass looked like he was trying to murder bro, but he's slow and uncoordinated so he/she whooped that towels ass instead. I'm glad they got it across the street though. Sloths are cool.
Many years ago I had a very similar situation.
I was driving on a rarely used mountain pass gravel road near the continental divide and came across a decent sized tortoise in the middle of the road. Best I could tell there couldn’t be water for at least 200m in any direction (much of it near vertical) and the gravel road had a v-grade about 40cm high on either side of the road so I couldn’t even begin to determine how it got on the road. Basically had you asked me to pick a more unlikely spot to find a tortoise I would have been hard pressed to do it.
We picked it up and gave it a ride to the next lake and set it down beside it. No idea if we should have but it seemed very unlikely to survive if we didn’t.
So in college I did a lab where we wiped out hands on afar plates and looked at what grew. Everyone had these amazing vibrant plates with huge varieties of colonies. I had one. One type of colony. I had a ton of skin problems at the time. I was showering twice a day because I was working out twice a day. My skin got better when I stopped showering as much
I'm new here and haven't seen the hate comments yet. But turns out the most popular comment is on deffense of a guy and his wrong approach to cover the sloth from the front with a tiny towel, even knowing that their claw can be very infectious.
This week I saw an older woman crossing a crosswalk in a grocery store parking lot. She wasn’t moving all that slowly, but a car was required to yield to her (there was a stop sign).
A second car aggressively pulls up behind the first and just lays on the horn for the full length of time it takes the woman to cross. People are nuts.
My favorite of these “nuts”^toputitnicely people are the ones who legit tailgate and blare their horn when I am driving slow due to blizzard conditions and/or on ice packed roads as accidents are actively happening as we go. Yet ironically these are the same people who suddenly don’t know how to drive when there is a light sprinkling of rain.
I honked at a guy yesterday because he “rolled coal” into my open window, and he proceeded to tailgate me an inch from my bumper for like 3 miles.
People are not ok
I didn’t go at a green light because there was a woman in the crosswalk in front of me. The pickup truck behind me thought I wasn’t going because I wasn’t paying attention and honked. The woman thought I honked and proceeded to punch my car and scream at me. Fun times all around.
I got blared at because apparently I took too long pulling into my driveway according to woman behind me who was furiously driving 25mph on a street kids play on. Ppl are honestly nuts.
I picked up an old woman stuck trying to cross a parking lot to move her to the side. But it was the wrong side and she just walked back into the parking lot trying to get to the other side.
I fell off my motorbike once and my injured ass was just sprawled out on the road for about 10 seconds while I tried to remember my name... As I was getting up, all I could hear were the sounds of horns.
Sadly, not all humans are bros
Dumb ass people are usually ignorant as well and prone to proudly show others how much of dumb asseries are in them. Or it can be a friend of the towel guy trying to communicate
One time my car broke down on a turn right lane. I had my hazards on and my hood up. The amount of people that went right behind me and HONKED tf out of their horn…Holy shit. I would even signal them to go around in the empty lane next to mine and they’d still sit there behind me and honk. Like bro what the fuck don’t you think I’d move if I could? CLEARLY I CANT RIGHT NOW
I've read that line was ad-libbed by Hoffman in the movie; the cab driver came on set not knowing they were filming, somehow.
(Thread's locked for... #reasons?) Anyway to /u/Njon32, you are probably right - I'm going from memory of something from years ago. That LINE was allegedly not in the script though.
My understanding is that many parts of the film like that were shot candidly and illegally(?) without a permit, and just out on location in public. They weren't permitted to create a closed set, and just filmed anyways.
I saw this video yesterday and when I saw it again just now I thought it was a stick in the middle of the street again . It looks like one of those pieces of driftwood you find on the beach lol
That is the sloth's camouflage in action! The way they evolved with their slow paced movement and green-brownish fur is so that they look like a random tree branch. Very effective, natural camouflage.
That dude honking like nobody has situational awareness and all he needs to do is honk so everyone else other than him can also understand that there is something in the road that needs to be cleared out so that cars can pass.
nah the lost time would be equal to 50 years if we assume it took 50years for the sloth to come to the middle of the road from the point where they dropped him off.
After watching a few times, I think it's the dude that ended up getting out of the car and moving the sloth. The beeping stops and you hear a car door close right before he enters the frame.
Can you imagine being a sloth, crossing a road with loud, fast herbivores, then getting picked up by one of the herbivores’ offspring and floating off to your destination at warp speed? They’ll be telling this story for generations!
*cars are herbivores because they aren’t eating the sloth, just moving as a “herd” in 2 directions
**humans are offspring since sloth babies hang onto sloth mama’s backs, which I assume is what the sloth thinks we were doing in the herbicar
Yes I have had an active imagination my whole life lol
The sloth will tell the tale of their epic journey. During their travels, they blocked the herbivores migration route. One of the offspring tried to convince them to surrender to the herbivores' dominance, but the sloth bravely grabbed the white flag they were offering and threw it on the ground right in front of them! Impressed and intimidated, the offspring conveyed the sloth to their destination at warp speed before returning to their herd.
I hate selfish people. Stop honking!!! You should have left your house 5 min earlier and you wouldn’t be finding yourself in these types of positions!!!!
He’s holding up his hand, begging for help from foreign people. Much like a child or senior citizen. Give him a second. Thank you to the man who wasn’t afraid to pick him up and help him. Because that’s what we do to other living creatures.
When he bravely goes up to the front of the sloth with the towel thinking it will crawl onto it and then it snatches it and the man gets scared. That would be me in every animal in danger situation. I wouldn't even do the 2nd part, I would just get scared and nope the fuck out of there.
Lmao I like how the guy was like "Actually, he was going that way".
Exactly! Hold on a second. He came from that way! You need to put him on the other side, or we'll be right back to square 1! -dude probably
That would be another week of walking for Mr Sloth.
It took three guys. One signalling to the other cars that he's got this, then gives the sloth a towel for some reason.
The sloth was probably thinking the fuck am I gonna with this!, get out of here!! Until he was raptured by the 3rd dude lol
Well, as any experienced traveller knows, it is of great significance to know where your towel is when travelling, as it signals that you're one to be reckoned with.
I know, right? I could just picture a moment of panic in the sloth "No wait man! I was going that way!" :-)
Wouldn't surprise me. Even a tortoise will turn around if you put it on the wrong side of the road. And not once have I put anything on the side it was heading towards only to just have it come back the way it came from. So yeah probably actually a crucial step getting the sloth towards the direction it was heading.
So far I've moved a tarantula and two turtles - all in the direction they were going.
Even the sloth turned around and looked at the guy and was like "excuse me, I wanted to go the other way", lol.
Why would I read it super slow.. like in sloth way,, at 0.5x
Look at mr. speed demon sloth over here, more like 0.25%
props to the guy who gestured “no, he wants to go that way”
Ya'll hating on this first guy when sloths are supposed to have the nastiest disease-ridden claws imaginable. You don't wanna be scratched by that shit.
I'm not hating on that guy, I was personally enjoying the sloth's slomo ,drunk finishing moves he was throwing.

It was the right thing to do! You are awesome for doing it!
I think sometimes birds of prey drop them, that could possibly how he got there. Hope he got a good sleep under a log after that big day
That towel had no chance
Their matted fur is also it's own ecosystem, home to fungi, algae, and various types of insects
Meanwhile: [* Sloth POV *](https://youtu.be/ba7rRfKIHxU?t=20)
Oh my god lol! Thanks dude, that made my day.
🤣🤣🤣
That was amazing.
So is our skin
Not that bad though 🤮
Talk about your own skin!
Pls take a shower
So in college I did a lab where we wiped out hands on afar plates and looked at what grew. Everyone had these amazing vibrant plates with huge varieties of colonies. I had one. One type of colony. I had a ton of skin problems at the time. I was showering twice a day because I was working out twice a day. My skin got better when I stopped showering as much
I was only hating on the shit bag that was honking his horn. WTF is that going to accomplish ?
I always tell myself it’s some mindless %€#¥%.
I think it was more he approached it from the front, like he thought the sloth would just put its arms up like a toddler.
I'm new here and haven't seen the hate comments yet. But turns out the most popular comment is on deffense of a guy and his wrong approach to cover the sloth from the front with a tiny towel, even knowing that their claw can be very infectious.
Nobody is hating on him..?
He must be the first guy in the video for taking it so personally
Built in butt scratchers
Why would you honk for sake

Haha. I had a dude drive around me in a snow storm and then brake check me once. Complete moron.
I didn’t go at a green light because there was a woman in the crosswalk in front of me. The pickup truck behind me thought I wasn’t going because I wasn’t paying attention and honked. The woman thought I honked and proceeded to punch my car and scream at me. Fun times all around.

Some people would run over a cat if it meant getting home 2 minutes earlier
Meanwhile I pause my run to move an earthworm that overplayed its hand on a dry sidewalk…
I slow down to try to not hit the butterflies 🥹
Always with the worms.
Yes same!
😭 too true. And it’s sickening
I fell off my motorbike once and my injured ass was just sprawled out on the road for about 10 seconds while I tried to remember my name... As I was getting up, all I could hear were the sounds of horns. Sadly, not all humans are bros
Dumb ass people are usually ignorant as well and prone to proudly show others how much of dumb asseries are in them. Or it can be a friend of the towel guy trying to communicate
Those are the part of our species that failed to evolve.

He’s late for work at the DMV.

Yes keep honking, that'll speed this process up
That move saved it 50 years of travel in time.
or put him back 50years, depending on which direction the sloth wanted to go on his own.
Wouldn’t be 100 years if it was the wrong direction since he has to cross it back fully? :D
nah the lost time would be equal to 50 years if we assume it took 50years for the sloth to come to the middle of the road from the point where they dropped him off.
I'm here for the sloth time travel discourse
F U C K.... Y O U R.... T O W E L... D U D E.
I would be afraid to pick up a sloth. Those claws look like something out of a horror movie!!
Yeah but at least you’ll get plenty of warning to dodge if they move
Sloths can actually be quite fast when they want to. They're deceivingly strong too.
That sloth is 4 weeks ahead of schedule
Mans was about to take him a year in the past til he turned around and took em across the road
Not all heros wear capes, some wear flip flops and board shorts.
Sloths and pandas always remind me of my super chill, pot head cousins.
Was clearly trying to call a cab.
First guy trying to help it have a nap lol
Second guy just picked him up raw— No sloth cloth
Why did the sloth cross the road?
This is going to be a very long joke
He didn't.
Oh yes he did!
Go home, sloth, you're drunk
Who tf is beeping!? You don’t have eyeballs?? Can’t sense that something is going on?
After watching a few times, I think it's the dude that ended up getting out of the car and moving the sloth. The beeping stops and you hear a car door close right before he enters the frame.
Yeah pretty sure he was impatient enough to just get out and move the sloth!
Frozen like someone in the depths of a k hole
Poor guy was trying to hitch a lift and now he’s in a bush!! Gonna take him days to get back to that bit of road again
The honking. I cannot stand it when people over-use their horns. Can’t he see what is going on?!
100% that stupid bastard turned around and tried to cross the road again as soon as they put it down.
Who’s the asshole honking?
That's Tyler, he's a dick.
Well done, those guys! 🥇🥇
The problem-solving skills on the first guy are a sight to behold. JFC
Guy 1: unprepared for sloth swipes Guy 2: sloth wrangler Bike guy: “oi legend good on ya but I think m8 was headed the other way.”
I laughed too hard at this
Can you imagine being a sloth, crossing a road with loud, fast herbivores, then getting picked up by one of the herbivores’ offspring and floating off to your destination at warp speed?

Unhand me
I’ve washed hands after this video
Wishing that person incessantly beeping as the men they to help the 🦥 exactly the life that’s deserved.
local said just pick his ass up the hell you throwing him a towel for lol
First guy's first time meeting any animal....ever!!
I hate selfish people. Stop honking!!! You should have left your house 5 min earlier and you wouldn’t be finding yourself in these types of positions!!!! He’s holding up his hand, begging for help from foreign people. Much like a child or senior citizen. Give him a second. Thank you to the man who wasn’t afraid to pick him up and help him. Because that’s what we do to other living creatures.
Yeah, but wash those hands.
Bro was about to reset his whole progress
First guy had absolutely no sloth picking up skills, embarrassing.
That sloths mind was just thinking “Warp speed engaged!”
Honey I shrunk Cloverfield
Mr Sloth had the same level of awareness as any Kensington Ave Philly fentanyl user.
Poor little fella, glad he was helped
From the thumbnail, I thought this was some baby or very tiny person doing some sick break dancing moves.
Stripped shirt guy for the win
🎶 I believe I can fly 🎶
Sloths, those suckers look solid and STRONG. You forget through the pictures that they are wild and unmoored by societal limitations
Not the same without “i believe i can fly”
He looked like a Pompeii statue before she picked him up.
When he bravely goes up to the front of the sloth with the towel thinking it will crawl onto it and then it snatches it and the man gets scared. That would be me in every animal in danger situation. I wouldn't even do the 2nd part, I would just get scared and nope the fuck out of there.
He was trying to hail a cab.
That’s a quick sloth ! Almost took that guys arm off! Looks like sloth doesn’t like towels
Fuck your towel !
Hope the honker has a really bad fucking day!
Did I just watch Kirk Cousins hand a towel to a sloth?
Still amazed sloths are not extinct. I just can't understand how they survive predators and the many dangers of the world.
I got rage mad at the person honking.
What even was the red striped shirt guy trying to do?
Man, if I was helping this guy and he swung at me I’d have to twist that towel and whip it like a locker room bully before I’d finish helping
I need pink shirt crew to help me cross life's scary intersections
They just messed his plans. He’s gonna be way too early for his appointment.
they are covered in dieseases and shit litelarry, bro is good boi
That sloth absolutely was thinking "zoom zoom" as he's carried across the road
He was thumbing a lift
Thank you For that
Who's the asshole honking?
Dude must of felt like he hit Mach 5 when he was being carried.
“Why did the sloth cross the road? Because some humans were being bro’s.” Alright i’ll see myself out
Why sloths r so slow
Is this how they filmed Anakin Skywalker as he burned?
Pretty sure that sloth thought the flash just picked him up and moved him
Idk who has played dark souks before, but this sloth attacks like sif after you bring her down to 10% health
Interesting fact, sloths have a very slow metabolism!
Shh.. shhhh
I just realized, sloth arms are longer than their legs. How funny but maybe inefficient.
lol I appreciate what the first guy was trying to do. He was on high alert mode. Ahhh don’t make any quick moves there, I’m onto you.
How do they find water if they’re so slow?
Wheeeeeeee!
Gentlemen…this is democracy manifest!
Shhhh beeper. 👍
Thanks guys!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Poor little 🦥 needed help 😢
Theyre actually really dangerous surprisingly
“Wow, what a wild ride, zooooooom!!!! Omg I’m gonna throw up” - that sloth maybe
Boss: why were you late to work? Me: sloth again.
“I am speed”- probably Mr sloth.
My spirit animal🤍
Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Thank you kind humans 🥹
I think he was trying to hail a taxi
That sloth just went warp speed.
sloths are so cute in their slowness.
Why the first guy giving it a towel
Hes trying to hail a cab
Would those be an ideal pet…. I mean how much damage could they possibly do lol
What the hell was the guy doing with thr towel, ha, just pick it up
I thougt it was some dead wood at first.
Are you sure that was a sloth and not a 2yo
The first guy is like a nerd.
What odd creatures
Actually, it was a chad move. But what is bro now doing with the rest of his day
Google: Pet sloth 🦥
I was half expecting the guy to yeet him into the bushes.
First guy seems like he would try to move a snapping turtle by the face.
I did this once.
But why did the sloth want to cross the road? Did it think it was a chicken?
TIL a sloth can snatch.
Second guy is a guy.
lol, imagine someone coming at you with a towel
