Eric A. MeyerI’d been hearing about the coal-mine protests in Germany, but this photo by Sean Gallup is the first that gave me a real sense of the titanic size of the thing and what’s being protested. Just… unreal.
Matt Stewart@Meyerweb where did all the land go? Where does it get piled up until they close the mine and put it all back? They put it back, right? (Padme meme)
Benedikt@jackscerebellum @Meyerweb nope - they build a artificial mountain beside it. It’s calls Sophienhöhe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophienhöhe.
The hole will be filled with water. It will take about 40 years.
