My brother and I put a corked glass bottle down in an old defunct drainage pipe beneath my parents’ house. This pipe/canal is quite large and isn’t obstructed by the bottle, and the bottle can clearly be seen by peering into a hole in the cement of the basement storage room. Inside of that bottle is a carefully folder paper bearing on it a crude drawing of a cock and balls.

A time capsule
Place photos and some small objects maybe even a usb key, dvdr or cdr with a video of you explaining everything and telling the viewer who you are, what year it is, what’s going on and what’s important to you right now. Place it all in a water tight container, maybe even an iron case and weld it shut.
If you have small kids, tell them what you’re doing and show them … maybe they or their kids or your descendants might dig it up some day.
Of all the places I’ve renovated, I would have enjoyed finding something from someone else’s life.
Don’t bother with a usb key. Flash memory is technically volatile, it just takes a while to blank. Unless you plug the key in every 5 to 10 years, it will start losing data. By the time the time capsule is unearthed, it will likely be blank or corrupted.
I wouldn’t bother with the cdr or dvdr either, they’re likely to be dead too in 30y.
Yeah. Just print out some tasteful nudes, seal them in a ziplock bag and you’re good to go
I like your idea, but it just brings to mind how fragile all of our digital media is, not to mention the surrounding tech necessary to read and understand it. What we know works is to press your message to the future, grocery bill, whatever, into clay and then accidentally burn the city down around it – good for millennia.
Nah just trace a picture of Dickbutt.
Can we vote? I say Elon Musk.
10/10 will rot in place, making more damage.
More or less damage than he’s currently doing?
To the structure of that building, more. Less everywhere, that’s the silver lining.
The whole what?
All of it.
A dictionary.
Bunch of spring-loaded snakes
Surprise the next guy to dig a hole there, by adding another hole underneath the hole.
Buy a plastic skeleton from a Halloween shop
No, obtain a real human skeleton from… a legal skeleton store 🤔
Half a map
Stuff from different decades just to confuse whomever finds it. Like get a Five Stairsteps album from a used record store, a Blue Oyster Cult 8 track, a Tecmo Bowl cartridge, a Boyz II Men CD, and a newspaper from yesterday.
“This guy… had good taste.”
Fill some plastic bones from Walmart with some shot pellets.
A photo of you and your family with a dollar bill in a ziploc. “Hope this antique has value now!”
How about some crypto
Me on Lemmy today:
Me on Lemmy today:
had no idea foundations were that thin. no wonder they crack so easily
You can have thicker ones by making them more thick
ah yes
tautology
i don’t think they are, usually
EPIC TROLL!!!
Write a long ass book that’s filled with stupid stuff like “Fear not for I shall return from my deep sleep in 4*10^6 years and give the heavens (a bunch of virgin girls) to those who I find worshipping near the ground of this very hole you find the book I sent you” and toss it in.
DO NOT return in 4*10^6 years otherwise you wouldn’t have trolled the entire humanity.
I’m weeping at the damage to those floorboards. Could they not have been lifted first?
