Hey, Vsauce. Michael here.
Action and
danger is exciting but this
is a fake gun and the process
of enlarging a hole, like the barrel of a gun, is called
boring. Boring. Boring a hole
is a slow process requiring repetitive movements from a tool that goes in
circles,
which may be why things that are slow and repetitive and don't appear to be going
