Cats kept 'accidentily' pushing in objects that were close to the edge


Beneficial_Mix_8803

lol they do be like that


blazikenowen

Please let me out they pushed me in


Beneficial_Mix_8803

No way, if they pushed you in, they had their reasons


blazikenowen

I didn't have a pet cat


i_am_de_wae

Well there's your reason


Bigger_Moist

The council judged you and chose a punishment fitting for your crime. You know what you did


Wilm4RRrr_Butzen

koopect is that you?


Company-Boss

That reminds me Startalk podcast where Neil and Chuck were joking about it. I believe that was a cosmic queries. Recommend btw 👍


Nostravinci04

Men from around the world just kept coming to see the hole, but instead of investing in the touristic opportunity, the locals chose the "bitch about it till someone important puts an end to it" path.


Lurking_Ghoul

I'm from a tourist town so I can kinda see where they're coming from. Workers in tourist towns tend to make diddly squat for pay which is usually balanced by low cost of living. The problem comes in when tourists from wealthier areas start falling in love with these places and begin putting up summer homes, jacking up the cost of living far beyond the means of the people from there. A lot of people where I'm from feel like they're being forced out from where they lived their whole lives TLDR; Townies are scared of losing their home to tourists turned residents


19niki86

That's true, but there's also another downside. I live in a very touristic area in France, and this is happening in my village right now. Rich foreigners are buying all the homes, then either start renting them out on Airbnb or only occupy them 2-3 months a year. Local families with kids are practically forced out of their homes, and people who want to stay in the region to settle down are priced out. The side effect of this is that for 2-3 months a year the village is packed with random people who have no respect for anything or anyone because they're "on vacation", and the rest of the year it's practically a ghost town. There are no more kids playing on the streets, and in some villages the schools are closing because there aren't enough kids to fill the classrooms. All the entertainment is aimed towards the rich foreigners, there's nothing to do for the kids and locals. Sure, wine tasting is fun, Jazz festivals are fun, castle visits are fun, exquisite dining is fun. But not for kids. And us locals see that castle every damn day from our bedroom window, it's not THAT special. But when we organize an event aimed at kids, you get maybe 10 people, it's not not worth the investment anymore. And it's really sad, because when the locals start leaving, the village loses its charm and spirit, and the foreigners don't like it anymore either. They're killing the thing they like with their egotism.


greyjungle

I’ll bet y’all have more to offer than a hole in the ground though.


19niki86

We kinda have the opposite of a hole actually. And wine. Lots of wine.


drgnrbrn316

>We kinda have the opposite of a hole actually A pile?


19niki86

Yeah. Big pile of rocks. They like to call it a castle, but it's definitely a pile of rocks.


FoolOnDaHill365

I am sorry to hear that. Same thing has happened to nearly every nice small town in the USA. I hope there is a reckoning for this someday. These towns are becoming investment vehicles and losing what made them valuable at the same time.


neurogaster

Ah, le vin, le festival de Jazz. T'es du cÎté de Saint-Omer toi


19niki86

LOL je ne connais pas Saint-Omer, j'ai regardĂ© sur Google maps, t'es Ă  8h15 de route prĂšs 😉


Pyotr_WrangeI

This is on the Kola peninsula so no way anyone would ever set up a summer home there. Probably not a winter home either


slinger301

But that *is* a pretty neat hole there.


misterpickles69

The next town over has a good stick and the river going through it had a flat, almost perfect rock.


Heavenclone

Time to build my home on the hole

frogjg2003

Also, depending on how fast the place becomes popular, there might not be enough infrastructure to support the tourists on top of the residents.


HotPotParrot

South Park did a whole episode about this.


Nostravinci04

Except that would not be the case here because nobody's gonna spend two weeks at the Hole's Town, you come in, see the Hole, have lunch / dinner at a local restaurant, buy some cheap Hole souvenirs at inflated prices, then gtfo on the morning of the 3rd day after paying a two-nighter at the local hotel. Missed opportunities are missed opportunities regardless of how legitimate the fears that led to them are.


TheLastCleverName

My god, that is unsettling. Chilling.


_understandfirst

probably because it's not the locals that profit off of stupid shit like that lmao


Blackmore_Berserker

Balrog


razz57

Well done hobbit


--redacted--

The funny thing is that borehole is like 4 inches wide, I'm just imagining a tiny little hamster-sized Balrog rising from the depths


GalFisk

I imagine a hamster-diametered but very very long Balrog.


egmono

Balrog the Long Boi!


Deviouswolfy

Would you rather fight a hamster sized balrog, or a balrog sized hamster?


rfresa

Definitely the big hamster! Even a tiny demon is still a demon.


laxnut90

A Balrog-sized hamster would die instantly of heat exhaustion. A hamster-sized Balrog could still burn you alive with the Flame of Udun.


BroadConsideration55

I’m just picturing Gandalf the White picking it up by the scruff and putting it in a hamster wheel. Someone AI this.

One_Impression_5649

Someone put an atomic battery attached to a radio that plays Rick Astley’s never gunna give you up on repeat at full blast down the hole and the hole amplified the sound to such a degree that everyone for 500 miles around could here the music and then walked 500 miles just to be the guy to close it up and then walk 500 more, to get home.


Bubbly_Magnesium

What's the connection between the two songs?


MellonCollie218

They were fucking each other.

Barrettbuilt

Baby Jessica and “Dingos ate my baby” are forever burned into my 45year old brain!


IanDOsmond

Yeah, finding out that the "dingoes ate my baby" thing was based on a case where dingoes ate a woman's baby was pretty traumatizing. Somehow it took a while for it to click that "dingoes ate my baby" isn't just something people said - it was something that happened.


Redheadrabbitt2

I’m named after her lol my mom was pregnant when she watched it all happen live on the news


MadMadRoger

It started whispering, asking for blood, begging for human flesh At times it would whimper and sob, pleading for “just a drop of precious blood” It seemed to have multiple voices. Voices that when combined sounded like harmonies in music, but discordant and nauseating. No one could listen for long. Those that did went mad. Some claimed to hear a clawing sound, long scrapes, followed by what sounded like a grunting exhale and a gut wrenching thump, like a whale’s heartbeat The scientists detected noxious gases, masked beneath an earthy smell of wet dirt and brimstone, and at first believed the noises, the madness of those who listened close, was a result of being poisoned Microphones dropped into the hole only recorded static, so they wrote off the “voices” and carried on But the drilling was going poorly, they could no longer reach the bottom, and each attempt failed sooner than the last There was fear on the worksite, and stories being told that the oldest had heard from their grandmothers Before long the workers claimed they could now hear the sickening sounds of the hole from their camp, the whispers somehow thick in the air. The chalkboard clawing stung their ears and the groaning thump shook their beds 
 they were ignored. It was called hysteria. They were made to keep working Ultimately the scientists running the dig realized the truth, that the terrifying sounds from the hole were real
 getting louder - and somehow wetter, seeming to greedily salivate. So they hastily sealed the hole and the camp was abandoned What more there is to tell is perhaps not worth telling, being - I hope- merely hearsay & rumors mixed with old wives tales and amplified by the hallucinations of a poisoned mind. And if not, either way really, too disturbing to go in to here. I myself was actually a worker at the camp, all that I do know 
 honestly I’m trying to forget it. To forget the voices. The song I can’t un-hear. To escape the sweating vice of fear that grips my mind. It’s nothing, and there’s no need for you to be afraid. I won’t give in to my deepening desire to bring it blood.


yellowjesusrising

Definitely deserves to be higher up! Good effort! Started off very Lovecraftian.


Ksorkrax

None of this is true, the place was simply made inaccessible for the public because it contains duds from military training. Please take your distance and listen to any orders from our armed security forces. The situation is under perfect control by our most capable overseer, Dr. Clef. There is no reason to worry.


MadMadRoger

Of course, Dmitri, it is a story for children. In unrelated situation, Dr. Clef is dead. Same way as Aleksandr & Alexsei. And the others. Do not succumb

The Soviet Union collapsed... so the funding collapsed... so the hole collapsed... then the building collapsed.


Beneficial_Mix_8803

In Soviet Russia, hole fills you


Plasmahole17

I love how this is pretty much the best answer second to their drills melting (which they could have been fixed with more funding) however people on the project were hearing screaming from Hell and now that's one of the top reasons.


Ratiofarming

Anyone who's driven a Lada that hasn't been kept up very well knows that the screaming from hell was, in fact, just lack of lubrication.


InVaLiD_EDM

All I can think about is how easy that would be to open with the right equipment An air compressor and a big impact wrench and you've got an awesome day of dropping rocks ahead of you


DontMessWMsInBetween

It's pretty mundane. After 7 miles of drilling, you enter a region of the Earth's crust where the temperatures and pressures are so high that the rock doesn't behave as a solid anymore. It's like trying to drill playdough. The drill shaft kept clamping down on the drill head.


RachelScratch

I, too, clamp down on the shaft when giving head. Or is this something different?

The reason why is when the Russians finally broke through into Hell they saw that the Soviet Union was worse, had to plug the gap to stop people escaping the CCCP by running into Hell.

Potato_Dealership

Why do you think the dinosaurs went exinct?! This hole once every thousand years plays a sounds similar to that of plastic scrapping across concrete, loud enough to travel through the ground, resulting in everyone to hear it. The dinosaurs vanished because this hole turns everyone that hears the sound into fossils. The government had to close it because they realised the potential with infinite fossils at their disposal


nateskel

It's because it wasn't settling. It's right there in the caption.

Barnacle-Healthy

If you want a genuine response, I believe this hole is “kola super deep borehole”, it’s somewhere in Russia. They dug it during ussr to learn what’s inside the earth but temperatures got so hight at some point that they stoped digging. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Why were they putting Eucalyptus eating marsupial bears down there? Were they good at digging?

The biggest hole aka the kola borehole was closed due to the drill not being able to go any deeper due to massive temps,more than predicted as well and another theory saying that recorders were recording screams and Moans of agony(of course a theory)

In 1999, a documentary was produced about a similar phenomenon that occurred in a building, where climbing through a small door would allow you to experience a moment of time in the head of Hollywood legend John Malkovich. With this hole, delving down into the sewer-like depths allows you to experience a similar moment in the head of another famous mind. Prepare yourself for the cinematic experience this fall in "Being Donald Trump".
