A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If a tunnel boring machine were installed facing downward in a cemetery, you wouldn't need to expand the cemetery (lemm.ee)

Just have it drill downward, put some more dirt on the coffins, add another layer of coffins, and repeat!

What do they do with it now? OP's death tunnel is being filled back in with dirt and coffins, so there should be 1 coffin's worth of displaced dirt per body, the same as with current burial practices.
