Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole.
As an adult with no children, I want to visit Diggerland.
- Do I need to be able to drive stick to participate?
  
  They don't make it seem like any prior knowledge is necessary.
- Get into construction and that can be you but you also get paid. There might be some downsides but I wouldn't worry about it
  
  Lol, my brother is a precaster and his injuries and creaking joints have taught me all I need to know about construction work.
These were the bomb, just keep digging till you can't dig no more, fill it in and start again.
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone!
I never saw one of these until like 2015 but my kids absolutely love these kind of diggers.
I just had a spade and a backyard.
But oh! The trenches I dug!
- I used a stick.
You had these as a kid? Best I could hope for was an old spoon.
- Luxury!
  All we had was a splintered old plank that father would beat us to sleep with if we missed our digging quota.
  
  Paradise.
  We had to wake up at 3 at night, dig ditches using a toothpick for 18 hours, every day ,for a penny a week, then eat a handful of cold gravel.
Diggy, diggy hole...
Where did they get the picture for this new digger?
- Good question. I think even when I was on one of these, it had rusted so badly that I'm amazed I didn't come home covered in rust shavings rather than dirt.
This is the coolest thing I've seen all week
...where did the dirt go?
- You dig another hole and put the dirt in there, obviously.
  
  It's dirt, all the way down!
I’m old and my partner acquired a dead cat that they wanted to become bones. I was SO excited to dig the hole to let bugs eat the non-bones parts. It was everything I always wanted.
- I wouldn't say I was excited to bury my cat, but the act of digging the grave was therapeutic.
  
  Rest in peace, your sweet bb D:
  Luckily we didn’t know this cat, the cats we’ve had to bury that we raised, my partner’s parents dug their graves before we could get there. I wouldn’t like digging through tears.
The children yearn for the mines!
I pretended my hand had these controls. - cave kid me
