The deepest borehole in the world is 12,262m deep and 23cm wide
Built by the Soviets but long since abandoned, it now sits welded shut in the middle of a collapsed building.
Edit - it transpires they were trying to drill through the earth's crust into the mantle. It worries me that this.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Peigneur .... might happen somehow.

The Wiki entry says it was a scientific project
"The project attempted to drill as deep as possible into the Earth's crust"
Yes, and...
"However, because of higher-than-expected temperatures at this depth and location, 180 °C (356 °F) instead of the expected 100 °C (212 °F), drilling deeper was deemed unfeasible and the drilling was stopped in 1992."
What exactly did this achieve? What did they hope to find out? The Earth gets hotter the deeper you drill. Never! Unless Russia just fancied getting into the Guinness Book of Records it seemed like a waste of time

But we don't have any way of drilling further
Because the drill melts above a certain temperature. So although they know the heat gradient was more than we thought we have no way of continuing to drill. Hence them sealing it up

Sneering is a waste of energy, most likely. But forming opinions is utterly fucking critical at this juncture in time where nobody has a political opinion.
As Katy Perry said; "I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything", lest we forget.
A sneer is an opinion manifest. Opinions inform how you think on issues. Opinions are why people get up and vote.
So I would say feeling better isn't the only outcome. Though I am sure it might be enough for some people.

The point is there are probably plenty of good reasons to have a pop at someone like Zuckerberg. Mocking the shape of his face is just pathetic, but it seems to be a common approach for people who hate something without the critical faculties to understand or justify why they hate it.
From what I can see, there is no shortage of political opinion in this day and age... what's missing is any kind of cogent reasoning for opinions. What he have instead are kneejerk reactions driven by classism and inverse snobbery.

That's interesting. Perhaps I need to reign in my snobbery a bit.
That is an American dictionary though, I said I could reign in the snobbery, I can't stop being English.
I'm not always too bad. Many people are getting annoyed with the increasingly common habit of starting a sentence with the word 'so'. Often people claim this is a nonsense because 'so' means 'therefore'. That's silly as it can mean that, but it's also a very basic emphasiser. This kebab is so tasty. It's also just a filler word, like 'well', and doesn't actually mean anything. The overuse of filler words is not wrong, but it is indicative someone who talks when they've got nothing to say.

Don't want to be pedantic*, but the thing at the end with the sound of a 100 Aztecs charging towards you uses a recording of a horse stampede. Pretty sure there was a complete absence of horses or any other riding type animals in South America before the Spanish arrived, which is one of (many) reasons they got beat. Would pay good money to see a llama-based cavalry charge, however.
