About a handspan wide, more than half a meter deep (can't see all the way in at any angle), deep under my house.

Do you hear it calling you? You were made for that hole.

Crawl in, there is definitely treasure in there.

All the avocado toast that the previous homeowner hoarded.

That's considered an official hoard, they'll need to report it.

Is this the natural bedrock or is it backfill?

[–] WaterWaiver@aussie.zone 7 points 1 month ago

Mixture, but in this spot loose sandy fill. Sandstone area.

A handspan-wide? It's meant to be. You'll get a better idea of the depth with your arm.

I surely can't be the only one

You need to put blushing cheeks and half lidded eyes. Then add a "uwu senpai" quote, or some shit .

Damnit, this is the internet, we have standards

Okay, what you do is get one of these bad boys.

I have the 14 foot variety and it's glorious. Not only can I gross out friends and family with pictures of my nasal cavity, I can also shove it in long holes like my sump pump drain and see what's what.

Question from my mum: "Does he do the sump pump drain before he does his nasal cavity?"

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Tell her, excellent question! Typically I do nasal cavity searches before I inspect the sump pump drain... Typically.
