A Video About Digging A Hole

For even more hole talk, check out my exclusive video on Nebula (should I rephrase that? no, probably fine): <a href="https://nebula.tv/videos/jacob-geller-digging-deep-into-holes">https://nebula.tv/videos/jacob-geller-digging-deep-into-holes</a>

As a kid I had heard others at school talk about how if you dug deep enough in Motherlode, you would reach hell and find that your boss is the devil. I always assumed that was like finding Mew under the truck in Pokemon or any other schoolyard urban legend, so finding out that it&#39;s real has shaken me.

i am a woman with hairy toes and I want to dig a hole. Those clips made it look so appealing.

I’ve always from an early age longed to dig a deep hole. This video was perfect and now I really really wanna dig a hole.

Why did i not click on this video before, i love the steamworld dig series

This is going to sound stupid but I legitimately think ‘men dig hole’ is actually some sort of an ancient instinct left over in our DNA from our early mammal ancestors. Back when we used to need to dig tunnels to hide from dinosaurs and shit. We haven’t needed to do it since we discovered how cool living in trees is, but the urge still remains because it kept my mega mega grandmother safe as she nurses. <br><br>This also applies to children liking Minecraft, btw.

how about you use a shovel to reach this

It&#39;s also interesting how precisely &quot;human-scale&quot; digging a hole (recreationally) is. Like, to put it a bit loosely, an ant and an elephant would consider differently sized things &quot;holes&quot;. A hole we dig is nothing compared to the earth&#39;s crust, but it&#39;s sized perfectly to hold significance for us. At the same time, we don&#39;t consider large craters, the things at a scale to actually tangibly affect the planet&#39;s surface, to be &quot;holes&quot;, because they aren&#39;t &quot;our size&quot;.<br>I could definitely see someone arguing that, under this logic, digging a hole — a <b>big</b> hole — is an act of personally expanding one&#39;s scale. At the start and at the end it&#39;s always &quot;a hole&quot;, because you personally brought it along between those points, and because it was dug by you. And because of that, making the hole bigger is a tangible signifier of the physical, in-3d-space extent of your power within your environment.

I want you to know that I cannot stop thinking of it as a *tower*.

I’m from Gastonia and go to college at western Carolina, such a cool video that got way cooler when I found out this is local

I am a dwarf and I&#39;m digging a hole

I recommend checking out &quot;The Burrow&quot; by Franz Kafka. It has some interesting points of resonance with these themes.<br><br>&quot;I shall dig a wide and carefully constructed trench in the direction of the noise and not cease from digging until, independent of all theories, I find the real cause of the noise. Then I shall eradicate it, if that is within my power, and if it is not, at least I shall know the truth. That truth will bring me either peace or despair, but whether the one or the other, it will be beyond doubt or question.&quot;

What in the Junji Ito???

And then there&#39;s us gardeners, digging small holes on the regular, only to plant something in it. And depending on what that plant is, it can grow there for years, decades, maybe more. That&#39;s my way of putting my mark on the world. Digging holes, and filling them with new life.

When I was around 8 or 9 my brother and I decided to dig a tunnel into a small cliff near our home. The soil was soft so progress came easy and we kept finding old trash that people had dumped and buried years before, rusty cans and random objects, which made it feel like we were uncovering treasures. We were probably also inspired by the Vietcong game we played at the time, imagining secret passages and hideouts.<br><br>We only got about a meter or two in before my dad stopped us, probably a very good call since it could have collapsed on us. But I still remember that mix of curiosity, challenge and excitement. I sometimes wonder if other people also felt that strange childhood urge to just dig.

As tough as that red clay Durham soil is, it never seemed to stop our jack russell from burrowing out to freedom on an extremely regular basis.<br><br>I also love how much the soil is visible in Durham’s architecture. Like that whole red brick sector of downtown (near DSA, where I went to high school, and where the air would stink of curing tobacco this time of year). You can SEE and TOUCH the relationship between the city and the earth it rests upon. That always fascinated me.<br><br>Those hush puppies your friends are eating look so damn good btw.

Does anyone know what track is playing at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iQ8dpu-W4k&amp;t=390">6:30</a>? I&#39;ve heard it before, but can&#39;t place my finger on it<br><br>EDIT: It&#39;s listed in the media used section in the description. My bad

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iQ8dpu-W4k&amp;t=305">5:05</a> reminds me of the Sanity Not Included bit:<br>&quot;It&#39;s a failsafe I implemented. If at any point the ship runs out of fuel, it explodes using the gasoline from the second fuel tank.&quot;

this video is so fun, and so interesting, but since the first couple of minutes when you hit on the topic of instant gratification the only thing I could think was &quot;please, people need to pick up painting, crochet, whittling, any creating hobby. make thing and see thing you made feel good, we&#39;ve been know.&quot;
