The selfie stick is a long maligned piece of millennial technology -- but one sloth is trying to take it back.

Over the weekend, a photo featuring a happy little sloth gained a lot of attention on imgur, and for good reason. In the photo, a man raises a selfie stick to take a picture of himself and the sloth. And the sloth, being a sloth (adorable and unaware) jumps right in and poses.

Sure, the sloth probably has no idea what's going on. It probably doesn't know what waving is, it certainly doesn't know what a selfie stick is, and it probably just wants to take a nap.
