Touche.
- josephjrobison 10y agoI wish they would go deeper though, they're kinda just digging a wide hole. Unlikely they'll hit magma.
- pilom 10y agoDigging holes requires a lot of horizontal space. Generally 2:1 width to depth is needed for standard topsoil. Go to deep too fast and you won't be able to get your digger and dump truck back out of the hole.
- k__ 10y agoIf they'd use a drill, wouldnt they get deeper faster?
- jballanc 10y agoThen they'd be "drilling" a hole, not digging one. (Educational tangent: the deepest hole in the ground is the Kola Superdeep Borehole - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole )
- djsumdog 10y agooh the nostalgia! I remember learning about this as a kid. Sad that it's all abandoned now.
- gambiting 10y agoYeah, but it's not as impressive. With a drill, the only visual part is the machine at the top. With a conventional digger, you can have a youtube stream of the hole getting visibly larger every minute.
