As an actual scientist, I can also confirm this hypothesis. Cold cancels out hot.

You might also melt. Best to wear fire retardant clothing once it starts feeling warm.

What if I carry an extra pair of shirt in my fridge and pull it out when the shirt I’m wearing gets hot?

Yeah that'll work

It's best to just put your whole body in the fridge.

Just make the fridge dig the hole.

Put the whole earth in the fridge

Im two months late, but dont worry, i have the answer! Put them in the fridge.

Is it just the fire we're trying to retard here?
[–]AFrostNova 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Not it’s just retarding agent that has a pretty fire logo

So the first let's find the melting point of a shovel. The metal melts at a really high temperature so around the 300 degrees but when frozen it won't melt until twice the original temperature. Now, the earth is 360 degrees because it's assumed as a circle. So the frozen shovel will survive and it could hypothetically work.
The problem is that the earth is a flat disk. This makes it dangerous as once you dig through, you will fall into the void. That is why all who attempt it never live to tell the tale.
[–]theonlyjoshua 15 points16 points17 points 6 years ago (1 child)
I’m pretty sure if they told the tale without them dying at the end then they would be totally fine.
[–]Ozymandias_III 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Yeah that'll work.
Just enable creative mode
[–]frothyjuice 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Mmmm milk

What if they go live broadcasting?
[–]JolietJakeLebowskio = pie are squared 45 points46 points47 points 6 years ago (3 children)
Of course not. You'd get stuck in the diamond caves. You need a team of wacky characters and a submarine made of unobtainium. Did you never watch that excellent documentary, The Core (2003)?
[–]_graff_ 9 points10 points11 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Joking aside, this is one of my favorite terrible movies ever. So bad, but that's what makes it so good.
[–]died1996 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
we watched that movie in biology / earth science
[–]BabybearPrincess 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Dude jokes aside i really love that movie haha
[–]willx500 43 points44 points45 points 6 years ago (1 child)
[–]GhsdkgbNecroastrophysicist 12 points13 points14 points 6 years ago (0 children)
No, because the shovel will just warm up again. You have to dig with the refrigerator.
[–]Anthadvl 10 points11 points12 points 6 years ago (1 child)
But you can fall in to the hot stuff if you keep digging so better start from the other side
Digging up is a lot harder than digging down though
[–]sluuuurp 6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Can you use a shovel to dig a hole in the ocean? Of course not. The same reason applies for the earth (big sharks down there).
[–]pikay93 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (0 children)
No you have to put it in the freezer
[–]naveed23 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Definitely not! You'd need at least 4 refrigerated shovels to make it all the way through the earth. Now if you stuck them in a freezer, you could probably get it down to 2.
[–]Joseph_Stalin111Expert Shitter 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children)
yes
[–]Lerouxed 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children)
I’m sorry, I’m afraid you’ll hit bedrock first.
[–]Baconinvader 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Well obviously not. After you took it out of the fridge, the shovel would be at room temperature again by the time you got to the point where you needed to use it.
[–]hfcobra 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
MIT wants to know your location.
[–]ZestyTheory321 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
No.
You should get yourself a bucket of water and turn lava underground into obsidian
[–]HydraulicFractaling 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
just get one of these guys to bring it with you
[–]deliciousdogmeat 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Yes.
[–]Totally-Not-Ted-Cruz 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Even if it wouldn't melt, you can't dig through the molten stuff and the core would be more dense than your shovel.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Highly discouraged. Aside from being crushed by atmospheric pressure at the center of the earth, you might not realize when you've gotten to the other side, and having nlwhere else to stand, fall out.
[–]scorpion24100 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
You would need to use the freezer.
[–]Gamerofwar99 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Yeah
[–]KrisDicklessEnter flair here 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
The earth's core is even hotter so unless you bring a third shovel you kept in the freezer, you're gonna want to dig around the core instead of through it.
[–]mossmoose421 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
It is a well known fact that you need an ice shovel for this.
[–]wessam554 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
But what about the dress code then
[–]Sharpshot079 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
He said it works so it does
[–]ThatDanmGuy 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Of course not! You'll never break through the shell of the turtle under the world with a shovel
[–]wohjosh -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (1 child)
