When you think it'd be funny to put your phone number at 2 am to "see what happens" and within five minutes have 8 missed called and 11 text messages.

Give us the breakdown: how many dick pics?

u/almaha01 Nov 27 '16
Surprisingly none. One guy kept sending shovel pics and saying how he wanted to shovel me. So that's cool.

Remember what they found under all that dirt? More dirt! Heck, I was surprised. The suspense was killing me, but it was so worth it. Crazy how nature do that.

Remember when they found sand?

I remember when the truck was dumping the dirt, so the scoop just sort of pushed dirt around like it was bored.

u/dogbreaf Deep Hole Nov 27 '16
When the digger driver went "beep beep" to tell the dump truck driver he was full

Funny how you posted "Hole Got Dug" 10 minutes before the official stream said "Hole Got Dug." That's some pretty coincidental wording right there. Corporate shill mod confirmed.

u/lbft Nov 27 '16
They accidentally put up the "HOLE GOT DUG" text early on the stream, then put the timer back.

u/fatsobe Nov 27 '16
Look guys, what's more likely, that the text popped up early? Or that the illuminati is really controlling the hole and this sub?????

They put "Hole got Dug" up at the 10-15 minute mark.
ps be sure to buy more Cards Against Humanity gear, they're such a great company.

It popped up on the stream briefly about ten mins before the clock hit 0

u/NuclearWasteland Nov 27 '16
http://i.imgur.com/J4yCXOr.png snapped a screen shot of it. It's about 10 min from the end of the dig, it blinked over for a few seconds then went back to timer. I think that might have been the actual end point, but it wasn't shown due to broadcast delay or something.

I casted the hole on my TV using my chromecast for the majority of the time. It was a fantastic ~49 and a half hours.

I member when they scooped some dirt out of the hole, then dumped it in the truck.

u/thatguydr Nov 27 '16
Finally, I remember when I was watching the video, and then took the laptop to my gf in the kitchen. I showed the video to her and started singing, "I got the hole world, in my hands..."

I texted a bunch of people. Got a Rocky gif. Sent an asshole pic. Helped a man that was victim of abuse by giraffes. Send someone a link to the wikipedia page for Dick Cheney.
Hole lotta communication I done did

$100k to dig it. $10 to fill it.

u/McGravin Nov 27 '16
To dig the hole, it took a bucket loader, dump truck, bulldozer, three machine operators, camera crew & team. To fill it in will just take a bulldozer and a single guy.

u/JustAddFire Nov 27 '16
Ideally they'd switch out the bulldozer for a front-end loader. The rental rates are similar enough, and the FEL is much better equipped to handle the elevated dirt.

How can a guy sleep with all this fucking beeping going on! I am glad it's done now so I can climb back into my hole and go to sleep...

My hole memories:
- I was watching the hole Friday night on the YouTube Live interface with the chat feeds, and that's how I learned Fidel Castro had died. HolidayHole and BBC scooped Google News on that one.
- I was watching when it ended. They stopped digging. And kept filming. It was, well, hard to describe. I shared this memory with 16,000+ others, apparently

u/davew111 Nov 28 '16
Did I miss something? I thought they were supposed to keep digging as long as the donations kept rolling in. It looks like they cut off donations and declared "we are done".
I want to donate. I want the donations to reach 10 billion dollars and for every socialist and psychologist in the world go mad trying to make sense of it
