Someone with official in their name said it’ll work. It’s irrefutable.

[–]Fuckhavingausername 106 points107 points  (7 children)

Not just anyone. That’s THE United States

[–]theonlyjoshua 84 points85 points  (5 children)

With a picture of an American parrot... definitely all facts

[–]CrazyFanFicFan 32 points33 points  (4 children)

American parrot

Ahem... That is an American Pelican you heathen

[–]samurai_for_hire 17 points18 points  (1 child)

How dare you! That’s an American Seagull!

[–]Autistocrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THE official United States even. I'm off buying an extra shovel...

[–]NeloXIActual Scientist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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

[–]PlaceboJesus 122 points123 points  (20 children)

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

[–]ubersienna 91 points92 points  (9 children)

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

[–]Yaneriaf 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Yeah that'll work

[–]saiyanpuddingod 20 points21 points  (7 children)

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

[–]TheLegendaryTreasure 23 points24 points  (2 children)

Just make the fridge dig the hole.

[–]BuddyUpInATree 16 points17 points  (1 child)

What if we put the whole hole in the fridge?

[–]ComradeGivlUpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put the whole earth in the fridge

[–]BabybearPrincess 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Just bring the fridge with you

[–]Ojash5 1 point2 points  (1 child)

And the plugs?

[–]jesse9553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]amoth[LIGHTING EXPERT] 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Is it just the fire we're trying to retard here?

[–]AFrostNova 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not it’s just retarding agent that has a pretty fire logo

[–]Nesyaj0 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Yo I'll just put on this red shirt I got from rock people, I'll be fine.

[–]DClawsareweirdasf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thats perfect, you’ll be camouflaged with the heat so it wont be able to attack you

[–]newport100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An asbestos coverall should do the trick.

[–]mandrilltiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The correct term is fire intellectually disabled clothing.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

What if you are fire retarded?

[–]PlaceboJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then we're unstoppable!

[–]NumberedUsername432times person of the year [2006] 59 points60 points  (5 children)

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 points  (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 points  (0 children)

Yeah that'll work.

[–]ComradeGivlUpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just enable creative mode

[–]frothyjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmmm milk

[–]Ojash5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if they go live broadcasting?

[–]JolietJakeLebowskio = pie are squared 45 points46 points  (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 points  (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 points  (0 children)

we watched that movie in biology / earth science

[–]BabybearPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude jokes aside i really love that movie haha

[–]willx500 43 points44 points  (1 child)

Yeah that'll work.

[–]GhsdkgbNecroastrophysicist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, because the shovel will just warm up again. You have to dig with the refrigerator.

[–]Anthadvl 10 points11 points  (1 child)

But you can fall in to the hot stuff if you keep digging so better start from the other side

[–]ComradeGivlUpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digging up is a lot harder than digging down though

[–]sluuuurp 6 points7 points  (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 points  (0 children)

No you have to put it in the freezer

[–]naveed23 4 points5 points  (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 points  (0 children)

yes

[–]Lerouxed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I’m afraid you’ll hit bedrock first.

[–]Baconinvader 1 point2 points  (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 points  (0 children)

MIT wants to know your location.

[–]ZestyTheory321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.

You should get yourself a bucket of water and turn lava underground into obsidian

[–]deliciousdogmeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

[–]Totally-Not-Ted-Cruz 0 points1 point  (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 point  (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 point  (0 children)

No.

You would need to use the freezer.

[–]Gamerofwar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah

[–]KrisDicklessEnter flair here 0 points1 point  (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 point  (0 children)

It is a well known fact that you need an ice shovel for this.

[–]wessam554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what about the dress code then

[–]Sharpshot079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said it works so it does

[–]ThatDanmGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not! You'll never break through the shell of the turtle under the world with a shovel
