👉 Mining "macabre" refers to an unglamorous practice of extracting minerals from underground mines, often involving hazardous working conditions and environmental damage. It evokes images of grimy pits, dangerous machinery, and the disturbing transformation of once-pristine landscapes into sites of industrial extraction. The process itself can also uncover disturbing remnants of past mining practices, like abandoned tunnels or discarded equipment, adding a layer of morbid fascination to the activity.
