The Sloth
The weekly cycle of the sloth. 🦥
The oldest non-Semitic reference to a Monday comes from the Greeks. This system was only adopted by humans 2,000 years ago.
Is it natural? We know beavers stay in their lodges on the Sabbath, and all mammals have 7 vertebrae in their spine except the manatee and the sloth. We feel stress in our necks, reminding us of improper time management and of creation simultaneously.
Today I learned that the sloth seems to be on a weekly cycle. About once a week, it will descend from the trees to defecate on the forest floor. Some sources say that its cycle is 5–7 days and others 7–10 days. It averages about 4 times a month, so it’s clearly a weekly cycle.
Pigeons and doves lay eggs roughly once a week, which is very interesting considering they are homing birds and this symbolizes ancient Eastern cyclical thinking.
Question: Is the weekly cycle a divine or human construct?
