During the miners' strike in the UK from 1984 to 1985, several pits were closed, particularly those targeted for closure by the National Coal Board. Key pits that faced closure included the Cortonwood colliery in South Yorkshire, the Ellington pit in Northumberland, and the Abercynon pit in Wales. The strike was primarily in response to these closures and the broader implications for communities reliant on coal mining. The strike ultimately led to significant changes in the coal industry and labor relations in the UK.

The recessed area on a CD or DVD where data is stored. CDs and DVDs store data in lands and pits. The lands represent 1 and the pits represent 0 in binary computing. The bits are read by the disc drive that uses a laser beam to distinguish between the lands and pits based on the amount of scattering or deflection that occurs when the beam of light hits the surface of the disc

A gold-rush windlass was a mechanical device used during the gold rush era to lift heavy loads of earth and rock in search of gold. It typically consisted of a horizontal beam or lever that was turned by hand or powered by a horse, allowing miners to hoist materials from deep shafts or pits. This simple yet effective tool enabled miners to access deeper deposits more efficiently, playing a crucial role in gold extraction during that period.

Optical discs, such as CDs and DVDs, use pits and lands to store information. Pits and lands are variations in the physical surface of the disc that represent binary data (0s and 1s) which is read by a laser during playback.
Outdoor fire pits are as safe as the user. There are specific precautions that should be taken. Many fire pits have safety grates or covering. Of course, pits should not be used indoors, during windy days/nights if they do not have an appropriate cover/grate. Owners should adhere to care and use insructions.
Pit vipers are generally ambush predators, relying on their heat-sensing pits to detect prey. They strike quickly and inject venom to immobilize their prey before consuming it. Pit vipers are generally solitary animals except during breeding season.
