The idea is paradoxical, a self-contradictory concept.

Part of the equation is the "keep digging" aspect. As long as you keep digging, you have not reached the bottom.

I was thinking about having a ready made bottomless pit, and we toss shit into it

Sure, make an infinity ring hole around the earth's core and start chucking things in. Bonus if you work A black hole or speed of light into your garbage disposal.

interesting
now considering what is meant by bottomless, it is difficult to see how there is a pit, as a pit by necessity would have a bottom. at best, we could make a bottomless tube through the earth.

I'll admit the simplest approach escaped me - I suggest drilling off-center to avoid pesky magma.
