I just imagine Ivanka Trump's campaign speech in 2024; "We're going to build a deep, beautiful hole, and we're going to make the Mole People pay for it" Anderson Cooper; "Mole People don't exist" Ivanka;"The hole just got ten kilometers deeper, we'll find them".
And after a while, The Hole would gain massive cultural importance, it would be a place where you got rid of all your problems, it would be a nice place to sacrifice left handeds, vegans, people in yoghurt commercials, and those people who think they can sing, but really can't, you know, the kind of over the top wailing kind of souly hysteric scream singing those fifteen year olds in any local singing contest do. Or maybe just a place where you could write your write your woes on a note and drop it down the hole.
Mankind went to the moon, just to shove it in the face of the rest of mankind. The Hole would actually serve a purpose for us all.
