Us developing an actual black hole would be one of the best things humanity has ever done. It would kinda be like inventing techniques to make fire.

We could throw shit around the orbit of the black hole and get fusion. Not just deuterium fusion! Even proton proton fusion. Our energy needs would be solved practically forever.

We could conduct a crazy amount of experiments on the black hole, see quantum effects of gravity and whatnot.

Maybe we could build one of em Alcubierre drives that don't need exotic matter?

Yeah.

Then somebody drops it and it just falls down to the planet's core and eats our fucking world.
