The children yearn for the mines.
Never underestimate the catharsis of digging a hole.
Unless you live on hardpan. Fuck hardpan.
Who was that guy that discovered something very important in physics, and he said the elves told him about it? The elves that were in the massive holes/caves he would dig in his back property, as his outlet. I forget how large his friends said the tunnels were, but he clearly spent a lot of time digging tunnels.
Edit: Seymour Cray, of the Cray supercomputer. AKA The Father of Supercomputing.
John Rollwagen, a colleague for many years, tells the story of a French scientist who visited Cray’s home in Chippewa Falls. Asked what were the secrets of his success, Cray said “Well, we have elves here, and they help me”. Cray subsequently showed his visitor a tunnel he had built under his house, explaining that when he reached an impasse in his computer design, he would retire to the tunnel to dig. “While I’m digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem”, he said.
Cray has been called solitary, uncommunicative, secretive, and difficult to get on with. Frank Sumner, Professor of Computer Engineering at the University of Manchester, met Cray on several occasions and refutes suggestions that he was a prickly character: “He was a very friendly man, and perhaps the greatest all-round computer scientist ever”, says Sumner.
I think Seymour Cray may have had a gas leak in his basement.
I’m on the spectrum and digging a hole, diggy diggy hole. Diggy diggy hole!
A 6’x3’ hole?
Little dude is chill now because he’s dug your fucking grave, man!
Talk about cathartic. Everytime he feels like you’re a dick to him, all he’s gotta do is think of that hole waiting to swallow your body.
And he’s got a blunt instrument with a handle to fix the size difference, that he’s getting real good at wielding.
Hand him the shovel if you want, but don’t turn your back.
Guessing it’s just the exercise? I feel more in control of my emotions after a nice long walk.
Human beings crave agency and usefulness, even the little humans and even in little ways.
Kid found his calling: to become a Dwarf.
I was gonna say geologist.

Humans don’t respond well to having nothing to do.
I respond pretty damn well to that
for a week or two yes, but once the novelty of just chilling runs out you start feeling like shit
People who need work always assume everyone else is like them, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar or defective person. Like morning people, or sports people.
I would happily spend the rest of my life not working.
I’m pretty sure he’s talking about doing literally nothing, as opposed to not working.
I’m pretty sure no one at all was talking about literally doing nothing, because what a stupid scenario to even consider
Humans don’t respond well to having nothing to do.
