This reminds me of the short story about a bottomless hole, which is definitely worth 3 minutes of your time to read: https://www.tommoody.us/archives/2015/03/17/he-y-come-on-ou-...

I started in about halfway through to get to the punchline faster. The ending didn't make any sense.

Decided to start from the beginning. Ah.

A very good little tale.

And that, gentleman, is why we leave weird artifacts like this one to the profesionals, namely the SCP foundation. ;-)

I know the story is intended to be "caveman science fiction" [1], but I can't help but think that that hole is probably still an excellent way to dispose of most of the things they're disposing of, particularly nuclear waste. After all, it spends, what, a couple decades totally isolated from the rest of the world? Great place for it to decay and become less active.
