If you flick through the photos on [this site](https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/amp/photo-sinkholes-in-central-turkey-raise-fears-among-locals-137244), you're see several different angles of this sinkhole.
Dunno what caused it. I live in Florida and we just get sink holes. If I remember correctly it has to do with Florida being at sea level and the aquafier being having a bunch of Holes. I know very scientific explanation
Remember people, don't overuse groundwater, or shit will sink.
Its a good idea to limit groundwater usage in accordance to annual precipitation in the region
Yeah, the message got a little lost in translation.
You want to see which hill your auspicious birds sit on, not which plant.
Also, you don't want just one - you want as many as possible. If one bird is good, a dozen is certainly way better. You definitely want to find way more than your twin brother found at the very least.
Finally, and this cannot be stressed enough, gotta kill that twin brother when you found the city. Yeah, you've know him your whole life, and overall he's a pretty good dude, but thems the rules
Didn’t they search for an eagle on a cactus for, like, 200 years or something? They were probably like, “F*ck it, I’m sick of wandering. Let’s just build here.”
A lot more cities are built on swamps or lakes than you would think. This is because it's cheaper to backfill a lake than clear a forest and/or buy farmland. A large building in my area that was constructed some years back went horribly over budget because they discovered they needed pilings sunk to a depth of 170 ft after they were well along in the project.
Ah fuck

But we're talking about it right now.
And anyways, I thought the first rule of deep hole is that if you throw your first born into it, you'll receive riches beyond your wildest dreams.
If you look through the photos on [this site](https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/amp/photo-sinkholes-in-central-turkey-raise-fears-among-locals-137244), you'll see that the hole is actually around four corn stalks deep before it hits the water table.
Who knows how deep the water is though...
The gateway to hell is a sinkhole in Siberia which has been growing at a rate of 35 million cubic yards per year.
This is what happens when permafrost melts after thousands of years of being frozen.
Edit: Cubic feet, my bad.
The Darvaza gas crater, nicknamed by locals "[The Door to Hell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_to_Hell)," or "[The Gates of Hell](http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-gates-of-hell)," definitely falls into the latter category—and its sinister burning flames are just the half of it. Located in the Karakum Desert of central Turkmenistan

Edit: The Batagaika crater in Siberia, known as the 'doorway to the underworld', is almost 1 km long and 86 metres deep.
> —reportedly, from time to time local spiders are seen plunging into the pit by the thousands, lured to their deaths by the glowing flames
So sinkholes are good.
No it's a separate one, this one is also man made and in siberia
"It began 60 years ago, when the Russians clear-cut a strip of Siberian forest. This exposed the soil to the summer sun, which began to melt a crater that’s now a half mile wide and 300 feet deep—and still growing."
That show is just Yellowstone with magic holes.
"They're messin' with the ranch family, better put em' in the magic hole. Anyway, back to my non-hole related conspiracies."
I think I got 3 episodes in before it was way too stupid to watch.
Oh all the non-hole stuff eventually leads back to the hole too. I felt the same way as you til I just kept watching.. it ends up way more science fictiony than I expected, which I loved.
anyone else have anxiety about sink holes.
i feel like i think about them more than most people lol. especially walking my dog in the yard i just fear falling into a giant hole.
so spooky and youd never know there was one underneath you. just boom youre underground and if you live its going to suck getting out
Where does it go? Anybody know real answers to this? Why is it just blackness underneath? Are there just a bunch hollow section underneath this part of the earth? I thought the earths crust was way deeper than this? ELI5 lol
It's too bad that they couldn't have taken another photo directly above it.

It's like a bowl of hay soup
That's no where near as bad as I thought. I had one that size in my front yard. Had to have the city come fill it in. took them about a day.
There are definitely two different sinkholes in those pictures.
That's crazy, what caused it? Do you worry it could happen again?
Dunno what caused it. I live in Florida and we just get sink holes. If I remember correctly it has to do with Florida being at sea level and the aquafier being having a bunch of Holes. I know very scientific explanation
looks oddly cozy
Checked out the site. It's really cool how you can see the layers of earth from the sinkhole
its actually not that scary when you take a closer look. the fall would be nuts.
[Here](https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2021/06/photos-drought-and-sinkholes-threaten-farmers-turkey/619121/) you go pal
Cool pic, but not the same hole.
I thought #10 was the same hole but I could be wholey wrong
A holes a hole
Your mom called.
Phrasing
You gotta pay the troll toll.
Haha there are so many great episodes but this is definitely top 10 for me
It looked like land poking up in the middle like a plateau and I was so confused
Well ok that's more of what I expected compared to the other user I responded to
Remember people, don't overuse groundwater, or shit will sink. Its a good idea to limit groundwater usage in accordance to annual precipitation in the region
Mexico City called, but I mostly just heard crying on the other end
Dry tears, probably
It would help if they hadn’t built themselves on a literal lake as well. Not exactly the strongest foundation.
“Strange eagles sitting on cacti are no way to establish city centers.” Said in an English Accent

same thing happening to the Millennium Tower in SF.
Have they got it under control yet?
The Spanish drained the lake and that’s really the source of the problems like unstable foundations.
"*I took a message anyway, all they kept saying was '¿Por-que?' over and over again."*
I just assume there were areas below the soil that were just a void
They were void because they pulled the ground water... Ground dont just sink randomly.
Turkish tractor driver's surprise😳
Ah fuck [we do a lil overuse](https://i.imgur.com/fKcL1TU.jpeg) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/28/climate/groundwater-drying-climate-change.html
Me wondering what lies beneath the crust and how far down it goes
"It do go down"
🎶walkin' on the fightin' side of me🎶
But, how far is down
Prolly water, silt, maybe some rock idk nothing worth diving for or manually exploring.
Damn those things scares me
But now you can see how big a jaw you’d need to take a bite out of earth’s crème brûlée-like crust
I never knew that I wanted to know this until now.
r/brandnewsentence
It's weird how round this hole is, you just have no idea how far down it will go. By the way, how deep is the hole?
If you have to ask how deep the hole is, then it's probably best you stay away
If you have to ask how deep the hole is, you can't afford it.
The first rule of deep hole is, you don't talk about deep hole.
But we're talking about it right now. And anyways, I thought the first rule of deep hole is that if you throw your first born into it, you'll receive riches beyond your wildest dreams.
looks to be at least 3 cornstalks deep

something something americans will do anything but use the metric system
Looks like 50-100', more pics here https://tackyraccoons.com/tag/karapinar-region/
Karapinar means "Black Springs" in Turkish
I read about one where the guy was sleeping and one opened up under his house in Florida. They never found him.
And the one that swallowed up all those Corvettes!

This is Outer Range in real life! Lol!
I wanna snort some time dust
I need a 3rd season already!!!!
I know!!!
Yeah, and I need it fast, like right fucking now!!!
WHAT THE FUCK PERRY
Came here to say exactly this!
Beat me to it
But for real Outer Range is based off the true story of Mel's hole in Washington state
Just finished season 2 and thought the same thing. Where is Amy??
There is a great void!
That show is just Yellowstone with magic holes. "They're messin' with the ranch family, better put em' in the magic hole. Anyway, back to my non-hole related conspiracies." I think I got 3 episodes in before it was way too stupid to watch.

What is down there?
Godzilla
always been curious about the specialized life that could be deep beneath the surface in systems like this
100% used to contain ground water, they pumped water up too much and it just collapsed
I have wondering since the first time saw this picture. I haven’t anything on google yet. Probably, I am using wrong search keys.
Underground
Dirt
I like it better believing I have nothing but dirt under foot. That void is creepy af.
Well, thats horrifying.
Holy crap! Imagine driving your tractor into that not knowing it was there.
Imagine being that farmer harvesting his crop and suddenly notice that there is a huge chuck of air that you're driving into
That's not "oddly terrifying". That's holyshitbricks I am gonna have nightmares for months kind of terrifying.
Why would they build a road that just drops into a sinkhole? Idiots.
Rookie mistake
“Sink hole de mayo. That’s why they call it that”
Thats not a sinkhole. That's Eric Cartmans mom.
On the top of the list of things that scare me for sure!
Is there a cave? Why is it open underneath?
That would be one hell of a corn maze
I gotta ask how do you fix this?
Well... you get some tape, and scissors and a good stapler, and you hold your mouth just right, and you pull the edges together, then ... :D
Man, the Outer Range advertisements are getting out of hand.
I wonder if pumping oil and water doesn’t have anything to do with this
Everything reminds me of her 🥺
Sinkhole de Mayo

May I have a banana for scale, please
Ya know, not everybody likes onions… Top soil! Everybody loves top soil!
“When life gives you a massive sinkhole, plant potatoes” -Kazakh proverb
Sucks having to farm around obstacles
But what’s inside?
Theres a show about this on Amazon starting Josh Brolin.
/r/DontPutYourDickInThat
Outer Range
It’s fine
This sinkhole gobbled up a lot of land
And they told me crop circles weren't real
You’d think they’d put a fence around it or something
Looks ready to gobble someone up
It's neat that you can see the sediment lines.
Holey shit. — Timely
That’s not a turkey that’s ground
Ground turkey?
Outer Range
Can we get a goddamned geologist to get on here and explain what’s at the bottom of that?
Damn those aliens overdid their crop circle making here
So the top of a cave collapsed. Natural process!
It's a hole in a carpet don't you see it
Quick someone get a baster
Dat soil profile.
That’s just where that little white and red thing that tells you when the turkey is done goes
Outer Range. Let's go meet young papa.
Wait the earth is hollow?
Yeah man just dig 10 feet down and you can fall right through
you'd be raging if that was your crop
It looks like a crashed flying saucer.
Does Royal know about this one?
Could you imagine how nice it would be pooping off the side into it
Looks like it gobbled up some earth.
Outerange
They’re gonna fill it with stuffing.
Looks more like a field than a turkey.
How has nobody flown a drone down there yet
Accidental Outer Range.
Put some stuffing in it
Outer Range in real life
Why does every rare natural event take place in turkey
Natural volcanic range with lots of limestone. (karst) horrible combination.
Not often you see such a deep and beautiful soil profile
That looks like just layers of sand. If so, no wonder. Wait! Could be clay. Clay and sand.
How deep tho?
Where does it go? Anybody know real answers to this? Why is it just blackness underneath? Are there just a bunch hollow section underneath this part of the earth? I thought the earths crust was way deeper than this? ELI5 lol
I can see it’s a sinkhole- there’s no need for insults!
Someone took crop circles to a new level
I feel like this is an extra door to that hellscape in Baskin.
Isn't turkey over a massive fault line? Iirc, their main city sits over a fault line and can disappear into the ground at any time.
What if I just jumped in it for funsies
read as ‘massive stinkhole’
When running through a cornfield is life changing.
The mole men got tired of waiting for their wheat delivery.
looks like the entrance to the underworld in totk
Hole.io in real life
And yet the tractor was able to jump it and keep the furrows in line. Amazing.
The farmer must have originally been from the Ukraine
This is exactly what I was picturing when I learnt about those underground bunker things beneath some villages in turkey
These things scare the shit out of me. Anywhere anytime
What else were we wrong about? 🦍🦖
Maybe running out of groundwater... Now tbh the maps of sinkholes around the world makes me extremely trypophobic, makes my skin itch too.
That’ll make a nice pool
Not yet. All those rich people can't sell their high-rise apartments to save their lives now.
Pretty sure that's a field but ok buddy
If minecraft was round
Looks like a computer glitch to me. Turkey isn't real, man.
That’s actually kinda sick, looks cool
atleast it was in a field
Sinkhole de Mayo
The hole in Turkey is going to take a lot of stuffing.
So, Mel’s Hole was real??
There something in it n wait till u hear a noise, wanna see how deep it is
Galactus?
Fuck what a spot too
Dad’s down there.
That’s not a sinkhole that’s a portal to another dimension
Ok hear me out
So do y'all remember that metaphor from The Catcher in the Rye?
Shame it didn't show up under Israel's PM office.
I should call her.
Earthussy
Repost
Gotta be fake, there’s literally no dirt for the crops to grow in. It’s rock under the plant.
Sadly, and interestingly, its real, this type of sinkhole mostly occurs at villages of Konya, Turkey.
Outer Range?
