Just drill so fast you're basically in a freefall to the center of the earth, avoid the giant diamonds, and just detonate a few nukes in sequence around the core right?
So your source... And the one that got the most upvotes against a written article that is based on articles written by actual scientists... is TikTok ADHD girl who has what qualifications?
Produced 3 Vox science+politics explainer shows, including Emmy-nominated "Explained" on Netflix
...and hosted 2 of those shows
Selected by IBM to do an explainer on quantum computing

If you watched the video and read the article, you know that what's in dispute is not the data itself, but rather how it's presented. In a Hermes Conrad, "technically correct" kind of way, the headline "the Earth's core has stopped and may be reversing direction" is not objectively wrong, but it's only true with respect to a reference frame that most laypeople would not immediately assume.
As demonstrated in the OP, most people when they hear "the core has stopped spinning", assume that means relative to the Earth's axis, which is not true. The core, along with the rest of the Earth, is still spinning around the axis just fine. The core is just doing it less quickly than the rest of the Earth now. Which is like... Did you even know that the core was previously spinning faster than the rest of the Earth?
Relative to the mantle it stopped spinning!
Like when the earth spins around itself in 24 hours it’s the mantle spinning.
Now the core takes 24 hours to spin around itself, while it used to take like 23:50.
It’s like if you’re in a car on the highway and you’re going 80 and someone next to you is going 82 and then suddenly 80 and you assume that they are parking.
PLEASE tell me there is a community for this specific genre of memes (unrelated text circled with a picture of something that sounds similar).
I require more °-°
I met Monica Lewinsky in London once. I didn't recognise her until she paid with a card without a signature and I had to ask for photo ID and I was like ohhhhhhhh.
