gollark: Pulling gold from a few km underground is about as energy-intensive as firing bullets or dropping 100kg weights on people's heads from 50m up, which somehow people don't do?
gollark: There isn't just gold *everywhere* underground.
gollark: Was it just a really gold-rich area for some reason?
