sloth

Represents a sloth — the famously slow, sleepy animal. It playfully means you’re in lazy mode, taking life at your own pace, or just enjoying being unbothered. It also nods to Flash from Zootopia, the world’s most charmingly slow DMV worker.

  • Your friend texts “let’s go out!” but you’re still in bed.

    give me… five… more… minutes… 🦥
