    Disappointed that it doesn’t turn you into a sloth. I’d be able to hang out in the trees all day if I got it.

      Sounds like you turn yourself into a sloth… Where you do it is up to you, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Sloths can hang onto a branch for hours and sleep while they do it. They also have their own little ecosystem involving a moss and a moth that only grow on the back of sloths. That’s what I want for my life.

          Wow, that’s crazy. My ecosystem only has microdenizens; I can’t image what it would be like to go macro. Good luck making your dreams come true =☆
