That’s beginning to feel like an understatement. We need a new type of hole to describe just how shit things are. A shit-Mariana Trench country, perhaps.

When they did a scan of my colon, they found I had pollips. Thats how we discovered I have cancer.

Then they cut the pollips off. I imagine that left a hole in the pollip area.

How about colon pollip hole?

Uranus's moon Miranda has features called coronae, at least one of which has a depth probably exceeding the Challenger Deep low point of the Mariana Trench - estimated at 10 to 20 kilometers, vs. Challenger Deep's 10.4 kilometers.

Alternatively, the Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 has a depth of over 12.2 kilometers, also deeper than Challenger Deep.

That's... Pretty deep.

But I think we also need total volume.

Wikipedia, re: Valles Marineris on Mars:

At more than 4,000 km (2,500 mi) long, 200 km (120 mi) wide and up to 7 km (23,000 ft) deep, Valles Marineris is the largest canyon in the Solar System.

It’s not the size of the whole that makes it bad, it’s the contents of the whole. So maybe a bloody diarrhea whole?

I think we can just call it dumpf's diaper.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago
