My partner, while we were in Mt Gambier the other week: so should we be worried about new sinkholes opening up around here?

Tourist information lady: no no, these are cenotes, they form over time, they don't just happen

Mt Gambier: bet

Sorry about the new holes @derinthescarletpescatarian

Further explorations deep within China's gigantic sinkholes in the karst landscapes have revealed they are not just geological marvels but biodiversity hotspots! Recent studies in the ancient forests within these "heavenly pits" have uncovered an astonishing variety of plant DNA, some of which dates back to the dinosaur era!

Photos of waterfalls in Iceland were transformed through text prompt into lightly forested sinkholes. Amazing work, Midjourney

Sinkholes occupy an absurd quantity of my thoughts already so you can imagine how I felt upon reading the world ender comic

No idk I did not understand what happened here at all. I don't know what it was trying to say thematically, and I'm even kinda hazy on what happened on the page literally. It was just so confusing, and it didn't help that I wasn't interested enough to finish it in less than 2 months, with several other books and the holidays in between.

This will definitely bug people who want things to be well-explained, labeled, and defined. The rules of The Wet are slippery, and the characters' motivations are muddy. There's some sardonic anticorporate litotes that I had to cling to like a life ring because I could not parse the main metaphor. Best of luck, fungal horror fans-- this one was too hard for me.

Two gentlemen ignore "road closed" warnings and drive straight into a sinkhole (photos) A 15-foot-wide sinkhole opened up last month near Tracy, California last month, so officials set up plenty of "ROAD CLOSED" warnings with "clear, visible, and unobstructed" signs and barricades. But that didn't stop a couple of defiant gentlemen from challenging the cautionary advice and continuing on their merry way — straight into the sinkhole. — Read the rest https://boingboing.net/2023/02/01/two-gentlemen-ignore-road-closed-warnings-and-drive-straight-into-a-sinkhole-photos.html
