People are stupid thinking the two videos are taken in the same place. You can clearly see one is taken with a residential background over the sandy hill, while the news takes are showing a grassy background.
To be fair, I once found the remains of a tiny civilisation on the beach. They must have been in the middle of a war as it was a little castle but had taken some pretty bad damage with the walls starting to collapse.
Same, i witnessed a pretty brutal battle when i was 10. Thousands of plastic army soldiers dying on a sandy battlefield... I was really into WWII history as a child my grandpa was in the navy during WWII. I often used the galveston beach as a pseudo-normandy with like 10 bags full of toy soldiers... the water sucked so i didnt like it at all.
As a fellow hole-digger, I can confirm that the first hole-digger probably attracted other potential hole-diggers to dig as well, turning into a great hole-digging event
I love this story so much. I'm an Irish Astrophysicist, this was local to me and I'm in a bunch of Astronomy groups that initially fell for the 'cosmic origin' of the mysterious hole. Impact craters don't have vertical walls. They are shallow and bowl-shaped, not cylindrical.
As someone who used to dig holes on the beach as a child, I can confirm this is in fact a hole, and it was likely dug by child to impress their siblings.
My favourite is that he goes on about "scorch marks" that he did not show us that supposedly show the angle at which it impact but the "crater" is perfectly vertical.
Random dudes digging a hole for fun and leaving a rock in it - only for an astrophysics enthusiast to be bamboozled. The dude's on that copium to have it analyzed.
My college professor when talking about misinformation actually talked about this today as an example and how ridiculous it was and I couldn't stop thinking about how some dude walked by, saw a singular rock in some random ass hole in a place where rocks are common and immediately jumped to meteor, completely disregarding how craters actually work
yeah i mean anyone with common sense would probably think it wasnt ya know. the hole just didnt look right lol it was a perfect hole not an impact site. good luck in school man!
You'd think the astrophysicist would realise that any object going quickly enough to leave a hole that size would have turned the sand to glass. And probably wouldn't have left footprints and shovel marks.
He is an astrophysicist hobbyist. Just a fan and self taught. Like the people that track weather on TH-cam with no education but think they know the same as a PHD scientist.
@@GoGeorge Yeah, for an enthusiast he doesn't seem to understand event he most basic aspects of impact sites. They don't have uniform, flat walls - they're concave. Actual meteorites also leave MASSIVE craters in comparison to the size of the rock itself, whereas this hole is very, very tiny
Just imagine the happiness these dudes must feel right now. The dad lore that they created something soooo mysterious and great that a channel had to theories about it.
@@Zak-Z-Ninja yeah... would u be happy if a hole that u found went viral and got on the news after u made something out of nothing... then it be debunked right infront of your eyes with everyone to see and be embarrassed by the media?
Hi there. Sand hole enthusiast here. This looks EXACTLY like the holes I dig when I go to the beach. I often find myself bored when I go to the beach with my parents, and so I like to dig holes with my bare hands to pass the time, and as a sort of challenge to see how deep I can make it (plus it's a good back/legs work out). The deepest one I've dug was almost 6 feet deep (it fit me completely standing up). Once it gets big enough, parents often stop by and ask if they can take pictures of their children inside, and most people in general seem to find it amusing. Anyway, I don't tend to dig too close to the shore because the hole can only be as deep as the water is. Except if I do end up hitting water, it becomes EXTREMELY easy to widen up the hole, because all I gotta do is toss water at the sides to get the sand on top to start collapsing. Eventually I get tired and leave, and what's left is something that looks like what is shown in the video. Especially if you look at the sand surrounding the hole. Thing is I always cover it up afterwards to make sure no one gets hurt by falling in accidentally.
Hi there! As an astrophysics enthusiast, I must disagree with you. This is clearly a hole caused by the impact of a meteorite. We should be sending your brain to be tested, for missing such an obvious meteorite crater.
Hello!! There! As a TH-cam comment enthusist. I calissify these as certified bangers, and if you read this may everyone of your days be better than the last! 😉
A meteorite of that size would have: a) left a much larger crater b) melted the sand around into glass c) caused so much noise that Dave would not be the first to find it as someone else would've come rushing out d) probably dug itself a few meters deeper into the sand.
I live in a touristy beach town and the amount of holes people dig that look exactly like that is crazy. There is nothing both grown men and children love more than digging chasms in the sand.
I dug a very very similar hole with my hand at a beach in Cuba once. And for some reason, people would stop and watch me for 10 to 15 minutes and a lot of them came back to see the progress. I don't know why our psyche seem to be programmed to be interested by holes, but I think it's hilarious!
You guys would love when random sinkholes open up in the ground. Like after earthquakes. Or when crows in my area bully mourning doves like gangsters. "Eh, what d'you think your doin' here?"
I’m a student of the scientist he went to to identify it. Yes, Dave still went to an expert despite the masses disagreeing with him. The scientist confirmed it was just a lump of limestone found all over that area 😂 The scientist is on Ireland AM this morning talking about it.
not to mention, that given how hot the rock would have been, had it fallen from space. it would have turned the sand around it into glass, and made a wider (not deeper) hole.

He blessed you by making we, the Brits your neighbours, so we could propel your society forward a few hundred years. OK the famine was a bit of a boo boo. 😅
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the absence of glass in that hole have been the most obvious sign it wasn't a meteor strike? Like, the rock would have been extremely hot from atmospheric friction and turned the sand to glass on impact, right?
I work at a Planetarium so I'd like to think I have some experience here. Meteorites hitting Earth actually happens quite often, some people estimate upwards of 1,000 every year. I would think a so called "astrophysics enthusiast" would know that they aren't super uncommon.
But if 1000 people find meteors a year, that still means there’s a 1 in 8 million chance that he would be the one to find it. So still very unlikely on a personal scale
Yeah tbh that's not really a whole lot, but the main question we should be asking is why someone who calls themselves an "astrophysics enthusiast" would seem to be a reliable source to anyone.
I love how people can see a hole in probably the most common place for someone to dig a big hole and jump straight to cosmic events and somehow people believe it without any kind of evidence
Not to mention a fvcking ASTROPHYSICIST thtinking this was a meteor! One quick Google search could tell you that a meteor doesnt leave a hole like that...
Bro you can put a hole in the middle of nowhere in argentina and the first thing people with think is "this must be the entrance to an underground nazi bunker hitler built after faking his death" But itll just be a hole in argentina probably dug by a dog or an armadillo... Im not sure if armadillos exist in argentina
It's become fashionable again, it's a fad. A couple decades back crop circles where the fad of the era, with movies like Signs and hoaxes around the world kicking off media interest which perpetuated the fad and led to more hoaxes, etc. Remember the "monoliths"? Same thing. This will probably continue for a while, too, because media is chasing clicks and anything relating to space/aliens/UAPs is popular right now. It's the commercialization of a topic for clicks and ad revenue.
The funniest thing to me is as soon as I saw this my immediate thought was: “oh cool someone dug a hole” But ol’ Dave here had other thoughts, apparently.
Honestly, good for Dave. I like the optimism he’s got and wish him the best of luck. At the end of the day, it’s not like his childlike wonder is hurting anyone, so good for Dave
Although I do think he should put a little more research into things before he shares his "findings" with others, I agree with your general sentiment. If he can keep that interest in astrophysics, I'm sure he can find proper projects to set his sights on.
My dad used to make massive craters like this at the beach for my sister and I back in the day. He would also bring large garden rocks and build sand castles over them so if any spoil sport wanted to break them down they would get hurt in the process! The 80's were a great time, yet not one person thought the holes or rocks left behind came from outer space!
To be fair, we get very few good warm days to go to the beach in Ireland, and then when the weather is finally good enough to go, there’s a really impressive hole…. you can understand the confusion
Imagine digging a hole so magnificent that the background story some local dude wrote gets picked up by the news media. Whoever the local dude who dug the hole, I salute you.
Charlie, your scenario for the hole being a target of a strike was great. But, here's a better one. Imagine being those 2 guys, randomly digging a hole. The next day, some dude comes by and digs that hole 6-12 inches deeper, and he finds a valuable meteor that has been burried for a few hundred years. Seriously though, I'd rather see stuff like this on our news, than to watch the politicians throwing our democracy down the toilet. 😢
Charlie's spiel about how people will make up the craziest explanations for something mundane reminded me of the Tulsa Ghost Hunters who were convinced that writing on a chalkboard was done by a ghost. The funniest thing about it was it was a Portal quote that read, "The Cake is a Lie." So there was a news story on it and the fact that they were 100% taking it seriously as paranormal activity was hilarious.
I can't believe he didn't think that a actual meteor striking sand would have instantly turn the surrounding area to glass despite digging a hole so deep 💀
As a dev Im really glad you talk about Unity situation. More people need to hear about it. Tools that people learn to use for years to do their job are being destroyed right in front of our eyes and if we dont stop it, the company that provides that tool will die and so will all the devs experience with Unity. Yeah, the CEO is an issue, they should go back on the terms and ceo should resign. This would be the only way to regain trust of literally ALL of their market.
another dev here, and i don't think there's really any way they come back, even if they do revert the terms. sure, many games will continue using unity because that's what they're already built with, but new projects will not be made in unity. there are just so many other options out there. it's not easy to switch to an engine you aren't familiar with, but it's absolutely possible and honestly not too bad. akin to learning a new programming language when you're already proficient in one.
Another Dev here. I don't use Unity anymore, but I can say I still uphold my plan to never implement Microtransactions into any of my games, as doing so would be denying the very reason I develop games. It's not about the money, It's about the design and fun of creating your own world. Anybody who has a problem with me getting compliments from players who enjoy the microtransaction-free environment can go suck an egg. What the CEO said is putrid and disgusting in every way.
What you have to remember is that this is perhaps the most exciting thing that has happened there for quite some time... I mean, if a hole appeared in a field near us in the west midlands, there'd be an ice cream van set up, make shift parking on the opposite field, local news paper would turn up.
It is so hilarious to me that this "mysterious asteroid hole" was just caused by a couple of guys digging it and unintentionally trolling an astrophysicist
I don't think they did it so an astrophysicist would start examining it and so it would be on tv, they just made a hole not to troll anyone, they just made a hole...
Honestly, the story is very wholesome. With all the awful horrible terrible deaths, murders, cryptoscams we get in America, these people are like "OH MY GOODNESS, A GIANT HOLE!" like that's the most eventful thing they'll experience in their lives. I wish I could live in a world where a giant hole is trending news and not cops laughing at paying off a family for killing their daughter on accident. Let those people enjoy that hole Charles. And let me enjoy your holes Daddy Moist 💗
You're the type of person who thinks everywhere outside of America are villages, aren't you? "Thats the most eventful thing they'll experience in their lives" "let those people enjoy that hole" lmao what. Also ah yes, death and murder, two problems only Americans have to face
You know those things happen here in Ireland too? The world is a lot bigger than America. Those horrible things happen here and in other places too. But it is a funny story though. It is crazy that a man made hole in sand made it onto the news in Ireland, nevermind being talked about all around the world. Charlie literally has more subscribers than the population of Ireland
We are being flooded with ""refugees"" they almost outnumber us and this is all our media report on. It's called a distraction (though I don't know why they bother , it's not like we haven't noticed lol)
I immediately knew when I saw the hole that it wasn't caused by a meteor. A meteor that size would've done MUCH more damage, turned the surrounding sand into glass, and the meteor itself certainly wouldn't be intact.
As someone who has a background in astronomy and astrophysics, that is certainly not a crater from a meteorite. It's not a coincidence the news calls him an "enthusiast" instead of some other actual certification.
I think it’s actually very impressive how it was dug that well with a fragile plastic shovel

Ea
I was surprised I seen this on his channel, rarely see stuff from Ireland
@@fatguy4994a few weeks ago he made a video about the atm theft thing too
Even he's been fooled .I'm sure he believes "Dave" isnt in on it 😂that makes it sweet 👌as a nut
He blessed you by making we, the Brits your neighbours, so we could propel your society forward a few hundred years. OK the famine was a bit of a boo boo. 😅
As an Irish person I can confirm that Dave will never be able to live this one down. The slagging and piss taking will never stop as long as he lives
It will make the rounds every year just like your man who slipped on the ice 🤣
My response to the thumbnail: Someone dug a pretty neat hole in the beach
charlie is so entertaining he can talk about a hole for 8 minutes and we will still watch
❗️🥵🤑😂😁🗿🐸😣💀💀💪
8:34
Everyone here is unfunny
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the absence of glass in that hole have been the most obvious sign it wasn't a meteor strike? Like, the rock would have been extremely hot from atmospheric friction and turned the sand to glass on impact, right?
Yeah I don't think randomer dave really knew about glass
Also a meteorite that size would have blown up nearly half that beach lol ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Made by multiple grown men and a plastic child shovel lol
come on, hes excited, and excited people tend to say stupid things lol, poor guy
I work at a Planetarium so I'd like to think I have some experience here. Meteorites hitting Earth actually happens quite often, some people estimate upwards of 1,000 every year. I would think a so called "astrophysics enthusiast" would know that they aren't super uncommon.
what about the rate of them hitting beaches in dublin
That's actually surprising how small the number is, there's so much space doesn't wanna give us it seems.
But if 1000 people find meteors a year, that still means there’s a 1 in 8 million chance that he would be the one to find it. So still very unlikely on a personal scale
Yeah tbh that's not really a whole lot, but the main question we should be asking is why someone who calls themselves an "astrophysics enthusiast" would seem to be a reliable source to anyone.
@@brandonm1708 Yeah and only a small number of those thousand meteorites would actually be found.
As an Irish person, I can confirm that we all just look at holes in the ground in our spare time.
its still so amazing that the hole was so uniformly carved even though it was made using a plastic toy. Hats off to those dudes
"Amazing" is a pretty strong word to use here. It really isn't very difficult to dig a cylindrical hole. Give it a shot sometime.
I love how people can see a hole in probably the most common place for someone to dig a big hole and jump straight to cosmic events and somehow people believe it without any kind of evidence
Not to mention a fvcking ASTROPHYSICIST thtinking this was a meteor! One quick Google search could tell you that a meteor doesnt leave a hole like that...
The best part was seeing all the people's interviews talking about how amazing it was to see a hole on a beach lmao! 😂
Bro you can put a hole in the middle of nowhere in argentina and the first thing people with think is "this must be the entrance to an underground nazi bunker hitler built after faking his death"
But itll just be a hole in argentina probably dug by a dog or an armadillo...
Im not sure if armadillos exist in argentina
@@luzifersohn5010 not an astrophysicist, he said he was an astrophysicist HOBBYIST LMAO
It's become fashionable again, it's a fad.
A couple decades back crop circles where the fad of the era, with movies like Signs and hoaxes around the world kicking off media interest which perpetuated the fad and led to more hoaxes, etc.
Remember the "monoliths"? Same thing.
This will probably continue for a while, too, because media is chasing clicks and anything relating to space/aliens/UAPs is popular right now. It's the commercialization of a topic for clicks and ad revenue.
20 years ago my brother made an identical hole on a florida beach, proud to see the tradition continue
Is he some kind of space rock?
Does your brother live overseas now by chance?
It’s not just tradition, it’s pure instinct
This is like year 1600 but in reverse, where we make up the most random bullshit we can explain already.
That's a pretty impressive hole given the size and fragility of those toy shovels. Must have taken a whole day.
*hole day
The video is cap. They staged it AFTER the hole was found. Sorry
@@LJ-fq6uwwe’ve got ducking conspiracy theories about holes now
When I see Irish news trending internationally, I always expect something goofy like this
As an irish person I think 'Ah what did we do now' oh a hole. Could be worse 😂😂😂
BREAKING NEWS: A DRUNK FROM BRITAIN TERRORIZES DUBLIN, CALLS HIMSELF THE SCROTUM SCRATCHER
Charlie is the only guy who can make talking about a hole for eight minutes interesting.
I wouldn't say interesting
6 minutes + 2 minutes of unity venting
a hole on the beach is the most interesting thing possible
@@CantTellYouAnd his fans are the only ones braindead enough to watch the whole damn thing and still worship him like a god.God. lmfao
Zzzz, NPC comment
Breaking news: There has been found a castle made of sand where tiny people might have lived.
The funniest thing to me is as soon as I saw this my immediate thought was: “oh cool someone dug a hole”
But ol’ Dave here had other thoughts, apparently.
Honestly, good for Dave. I like the optimism he’s got and wish him the best of luck. At the end of the day, it’s not like his childlike wonder is hurting anyone, so good for Dave
I think it's hurting his family in some way
child-like wonder and child-like stupidity are not the same thing.
Although I do think he should put a little more research into things before he shares his "findings" with others, I agree with your general sentiment. If he can keep that interest in astrophysics, I'm sure he can find proper projects to set his sights on.
You know what, you're right. We need more people like Dave, and less negative, terminally online people.
@@profanemagic5671All he did was find a hole and think it was cooler then it was. Calm down.
Charlie is the only guy who can talk about aliens without a single drop of emotion on his face.
Litteraly tho
🪰🥵🔥🧢🧢😳💀🥵🤑
LEIDER 💀
Stop shilling
God the comment section of any video from him is just so generic "charlie is the kind of guy that" "i love how he"
This is the perfect example of the Arkham's Razor principle: The least simple solution is the most reasonable one.
For such a little story about a hole, it sure opened up a "whole" lot of questions. I'll see myself to the door.
dig a hole 😡😡😡
Dave is really living up to the unemployed friend on a Tuesday meme
🤣🤣🤣
My dad used to make massive craters like this at the beach for my sister and I back in the day. He would also bring large garden rocks and build sand castles over them so if any spoil sport wanted to break them down they would get hurt in the process! The 80's were a great time, yet not one person thought the holes or rocks left behind came from outer space!
I watch these videos while playing games most of the time and i literally got fucking jumpscared by that burp
As an Irishman, I am so proud that we have been featured in a Charlie video
As an Irish person who lives not far from there im actually shocked Charlie heard about this haha
It was a group of like 26yo men that dug the hole and put the rock in it
Same
@@conormuckian3399 and where do you suppose Portmarnock Beach is located?
@@Ben-mw7pw it’s just north Dublin lol y do u ask
To be fair, we get very few good warm days to go to the beach in Ireland, and then when the weather is finally good enough to go, there’s a really impressive hole…. you can understand the confusion
Imagine digging a hole so magnificent that the background story some local dude wrote gets picked up by the news media.
Whoever the local dude who dug the hole, I salute you.
this was a stunt.
charlie never fails to open up my mysterious hole
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ayo
Charlie, your scenario for the hole being a target of a strike was great. But, here's a better one. Imagine being those 2 guys, randomly digging a hole. The next day, some dude comes by and digs that hole 6-12 inches deeper, and he finds a valuable meteor that has been burried for a few hundred years. Seriously though, I'd rather see stuff like this on our news, than to watch the politicians throwing our democracy down the toilet. 😢
@@carlosmatthews1910what 💀
@@CaesarCIowndon't encourage the bot.
Burried huh? How'd your auto correct let that slip by?
Like the new Mexico governor being an absolute fool
@@MDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMD I'm on android. Auto correct only works when I don't want it to. 🤣😂🤣
Charlie's spiel about how people will make up the craziest explanations for something mundane reminded me of the Tulsa Ghost Hunters who were convinced that writing on a chalkboard was done by a ghost. The funniest thing about it was it was a Portal quote that read, "The Cake is a Lie." So there was a news story on it and the fact that they were 100% taking it seriously as paranormal activity was hilarious.
Charlie covering this story feels like seeing a celebrity at my small town pub enjoying a pint of Guinness
Charlie is the only person that can talk about a hole for 8 minutes straight
Except for whores-
@CrazyCrewM8you ride the short bus
@CrazyCrewM8 can you talk about a hole for 8 minutes straight?
Charlie is the only person that can talk about a hole for 8 minutes straight
I can't believe he didn't think that a actual meteor striking sand would have instantly turn the surrounding area to glass despite digging a hole so deep 💀
As a dev Im really glad you talk about Unity situation. More people need to hear about it. Tools that people learn to use for years to do their job are being destroyed right in front of our eyes and if we dont stop it, the company that provides that tool will die and so will all the devs experience with Unity. Yeah, the CEO is an issue, they should go back on the terms and ceo should resign. This would be the only way to regain trust of literally ALL of their market.
another dev here, and i don't think there's really any way they come back, even if they do revert the terms. sure, many games will continue using unity because that's what they're already built with, but new projects will not be made in unity. there are just so many other options out there. it's not easy to switch to an engine you aren't familiar with, but it's absolutely possible and honestly not too bad. akin to learning a new programming language when you're already proficient in one.
Also, there was a hole on the beach.
Another Dev here. I don't use Unity anymore, but I can say I still uphold my plan to never implement Microtransactions into any of my games, as doing so would be denying the very reason I develop games. It's not about the money, It's about the design and fun of creating your own world. Anybody who has a problem with me getting compliments from players who enjoy the microtransaction-free environment can go suck an egg. What the CEO said is putrid and disgusting in every way.
the simplest explanation is most likely the truth. People should remember this.
1:05 Dude must’ve been smoking crack when he came up with this terrible idea.
What you have to remember is that this is perhaps the most exciting thing that has happened there for quite some time... I mean, if a hole appeared in a field near us in the west midlands, there'd be an ice cream van set up, make shift parking on the opposite field, local news paper would turn up.
@@carlosmatthews1910end your own life
It is so hilarious to me that this "mysterious asteroid hole" was just caused by a couple of guys digging it and unintentionally trolling an astrophysicist
I don't think they did it so an astrophysicist would start examining it and so it would be on tv, they just made a hole not to troll anyone, they just made a hole...
You mean guys just being guys. Hole digging is fun.
Astrophysics enthusiast*
He’s not an actual astrophysicist lol
@@BootziePootzie lmao explains a lot
I mean that useless rock has to be worth something now that its a viral rock
I as an Irish person am so proud to have finally made it onto Charlie’s channel 🫡
Honestly, the story is very wholesome.
With all the awful horrible terrible deaths, murders, cryptoscams we get in America, these people are like "OH MY GOODNESS, A GIANT HOLE!" like that's the most eventful thing they'll experience in their lives. I wish I could live in a world where a giant hole is trending news and not cops laughing at paying off a family for killing their daughter on accident.
Let those people enjoy that hole Charles. And let me enjoy your holes Daddy Moist 💗
Pretty embarrassing for that Dave fella though, tbh lmao
You're the type of person who thinks everywhere outside of America are villages, aren't you? "Thats the most eventful thing they'll experience in their lives" "let those people enjoy that hole" lmao what. Also ah yes, death and murder, two problems only Americans have to face
I mean ur kinda right that is the most eventful thing you'll see in Ireland, nothing here but sheepshaggers and farms 😭💀
You know those things happen here in Ireland too? The world is a lot bigger than America. Those horrible things happen here and in other places too.
But it is a funny story though. It is crazy that a man made hole in sand made it onto the news in Ireland, nevermind being talked about all around the world. Charlie literally has more subscribers than the population of Ireland
We are being flooded with ""refugees"" they almost outnumber us and this is all our media report on.
It's called a distraction (though I don't know why they bother , it's not like we haven't noticed lol)
I immediately knew when I saw the hole that it wasn't caused by a meteor. A meteor that size would've done MUCH more damage, turned the surrounding sand into glass, and the meteor itself certainly wouldn't be intact.
All Irish ppl proceed directly to 1:58, this is the some lad chancing his arm digging a hole
Crazy how that meteorite landed right in that hole those guys dug
I busted out laughing from that unacknowledged burp 😂 He just kept going like nothing happened 😂
1:16 WHAAAT! THE FUCK! yea thats a sure fire way to just kill a game.
First this hole in Dublin now there’s a portal
As someone who has a background in astronomy and astrophysics, that is certainly not a crater from a meteorite. It's not a coincidence the news calls him an "enthusiast" instead of some other actual certification.
That’s gotta be embarrassing for Dave when he finds out what it actually is from after that whole show they put in it 😂
Can we appreciate the time and effort charlie puts into showing his mysterious hole?
How wild that such a thing made it on the news and no one in the process thought to verify the possibility of this physically making sense.
