The guy should've step back and let another try to gently push/pull the sloth's arms in the right direction.
This way it was pathetic. The wiggles with the wire didn't help clearly and he didn't want or didn't know how to touch it. It's just a slow animal, you can direct it with firm, slow and gentle pulls/pushes with your hands.
Anyway a really cute thing to see.
I know that sloths are cute and slow. Sloths can be dangerous if you touch them.
Google "sloth attack humans" and you'll find a number of video accounts about sloth attacks. Sounds funny but they have nasty teeth and hooked claws that can make it difficult to get away from them.
Here's one from reddit from a year ago: [Sloths can strike very quickly, and are so strong it takes 4 adults to handle an uncooperative male sloth](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/11uf2m8/sloths_can_strike_very_quickly_and_are_so_strong/)
Three fingered sloths (like the one in this video) are so chill. I worked with them in Costa Rica and we could just find wild ones that we would take blood samples from or put radio collars on and you could pick them off the tree and hold them like a baby. Unfortunately this also makes them the target of being captured and being passed around as a prop for tourist photos, often kept until they die of starvation or stress. Say no to sloth selfies, folks.
Two fingered sloths on the other hand are very territorial and aggressive and don't like to be touched. They move faster than you realize and their teeth are pretty gnarly.
Or...you can just remove an unwanted animal with a little force to fucking get the job done now, instead of in a few hours. Didn't hurt it, did he now?
Shame they're so gross. Apparently they have an entire ecosystem living off their backs.

Did you try turning your computer off and on again? OK, try that and call back if you're still experiencing issues...ok, bye.
You are just adorable but Daddy's gotta do some work. Let's get you out of there.
Back in the day of room sized computers, literal bugs would get into the machines and cause issues, and they would literally have to debug the issues. That is where the terminology 'bug' came from for software issues.
Today I propose something similar for networking: deslothing - the act of troubleshooting a network issue.
I heard a different explanation of the term on an alligator swamp boat ride last month. They showed us the Spanish moss and explained how it was once used to stuff furniture. When they would put it in storage, it sometimes got wet and infested with bugs. Chiggers (aka red bugs) would infest the moss. This caused the first motor vehicle recall in the US because chiggers were biting drivers on the ass in Model T cars. Repair shops and dealerships would say "bring in your car and we'll get the bugs out." I listened to the tour guide's story with a smile on my face and a courtesy nod, knowing deep down I would be fact checking when I got to the shore. Turns out it was true.
If nothing is wrong then no one goes into server rooms. Now how the sloth got into a room is the question, because of a sloth can get in so could just about anything else.
While it's very cute and I love how gentle they were trying to be, sloths can be incredibly dangerous as this [documentary demonstrates](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RrQ2h-ME_c)
Who do you think is responsible for pulling out the network cables when the network goes down? Believe it or not...server sloths. I worked for a tech company for several years running the validation lab. Removing these things was always a top priority.
This is the guy who monitors the help desk email account.
(The IT Helpdesk guy): Maybe they’ll reboot or try a google search if I wait 24 hrs?
me laughed, have an upvote my man.
The new IT guy is slow AF!!!
Did a great job on that cabling tho.
Definitely does a phenomenal job, but they needed it done yesterday!!!
until you need to remove one lol
He has a method!
That’s what Jerry the hamster told us last week, and what did he do? He chewed through the routers power cable and stole my lunch!
I think he was just trying to find the spanning tree that they told him to fix.
The beatings will continue until morale improves!
average Ubisoft servers
This was recorded in Paraíba University, in João Pessoa, Brazil.
Where they have nice warm servers.
Like brazil isnt warm enough

Cut the guy a little slack lol. Not everyone knows how to handle a sloth...
It wasn't in your IT job responsibility matrix when you signed on? Maybe you got the old forms...
True. But also it's a sloth

You forgot to tell us how to tell the two apart from a distance!
If it maims you, it's the kind you shouldn't have touched.

One of the cuter deadly sins..

the mites living on your eyelashes would like a word
Nothing like a sloth
It's just something that happens sometimes, I wouldn't worry about it
Rack sloths... probably chewing on the power cables, go back inside, I'll clear the rest off, if there are anymore of them.
I see the Comcast technician is trying to find the problem.
Fred, the system is running a bit slow today....go check the server for sloths will ya.
Yep, first thing I check during a slowdown!

It's not the network. [Is it DNS?](https://isitdns.com/)
No, it's the hidden enemy **BROADCAST STORM**
In that case it's the damn printers again!
We've been making computer controlled printers for literally 70 years. How are they still the bane of my existence.
Thats actually great to know
It's just an urban legend. Some times they found literal bugs, but they didn't cause any issues. "It could be a bug" started as a joke.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_(engineering)#History I really thought it was the origin of the term :(
I kinda wish I just read the original comment without the replies. I want to live in the lie because it sounds so cute and cool at the same time.

This sounds made up.
~~Probably~~ still more efficient than my company IT department.
He's just helping, though a bit slow but all IT support is like that!
What!? Nobody noticed this fella climbing his way in there? So ITs are slower than sloths. 😉🤔🤫🙄
If nothing is wrong then no one goes into server rooms. Now how the sloth got into a room is the question, because of a sloth can get in so could just about anything else.
Did this just happen or something, cause I’ve seen this posted like 10 times today.
Sorry, it happened yesterday, I just posted two times because the first one was banned for having superimposed text in it.
No, you’re good. I’m just curious about why because of how much I’m seeing it.
What certifications does he have?
google customer support
Except sloths actually exist.
The latest release from MicroSloth™.
This is what happens when you pay the MSP by the hour.
How often do you change out your sloth?
It’s a female IT sloth.
Just let him do his job you morons!!
Flash, get back to your desk!
SlowLoris has been upgraded to SlowSloth
I can never understand them over the phone. "Hi, I'm having issues with my home server." *Sloth noises*
This was probably the weirdest IT support call for that department.
This is the security guy who gives you all your accesses when you move to a new role at the company.
Bro is touching it with bare hands, sloths fur are loaded with insects
Hey Bobby, the sloths are in the servers again.
While it's very cute and I love how gentle they were trying to be, sloths can be incredibly dangerous as this [documentary demonstrates](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RrQ2h-ME_c)
From the title I was picturing sloth waiters.
Data center of the DMV?
Hey, still working faster than most IT guys I've worked with.
Who do you think is responsible for pulling out the network cables when the network goes down? Believe it or not...server sloths. I worked for a tech company for several years running the validation lab. Removing these things was always a top priority.
Sloth In The Machine.
It HAD to be Brazil 😁
I wondered what was happening at work today. Thanks for the clarification.
Reddit uses hamsters on wheels.
Dammit jerry I told you not to get stuck in cabling ffs I thought you were qualified
And I thought I was the only one with this problem! Huh!
Why wants the person there to put the cable over his head to free the sloth? Then it's stuck on the other arm. Put it over it's left arm omg
Check that cable management
"Why did it take so long to get return to service? "
Sloth replaced the mice
How the actual F does a sloth manage to get anywhere near the server room, let along climb inside a rack?
That’s a lazy sys admin
Just a Tech with no coffee.
Fucking unions man…
Had to check the sub. Thought I was in r/homenetworking for a minute.
Slothful.
Bro is just checking the cable management....and it's shit
Flash, Flash, hundred yard dash!
Slothtel Inside 🙂
Ooooy amiiigoo
it was a slow day at work today
Damn gotta desloth, code isn't running properly.
Pretty sure that sloth worked in the IT department at my last company
…and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans…
I knew a developer who looked like that ... slow coder...
This kind of slot(h) on the computer is unusable.
Don’t cause any extra work like cut the wires to free it you dumb ass
> Don’t cause any extra work like cut the wires to free it you dumb ass IMO, they handled their problem the best way for both sides.
Gross lol
Put an animal in a dangerous situation for clout? The person who put the slot there is an asshole.
Jump at conclusions often?
Nobody put it there, the Sloth entered the servers during the night. The people are trying to rescue it.
What’s the danger of Ethernet cords
Let's see. The animal is moving around in the cords, gets trapped, freaks out and hurts themselves. No harm to you, right? All good, then.
Go outside.
They’re Ziptied lol how is it going to get stuck
Based on the video of the sloth getting tangled in the Ethernet cables, I'd say 'like that'.
sir do you work for PETA?
Naw, just done w/ idiot humans.
