Step into the FUTURE-UTURE-TURE-URE-ECHO

Have you ever buried a time capsule?

I think we made one in kindergarten, but I bet it's long gone. I know there's one buried outside this museum in town when we were celebrating it's 100th anniversary of townshipness back in like 1997. I was sitting on the bricks on this sign right above where they buried it. I have no clue what's in it.

What would you leave behind in a capsule for the people of the future?

[Shoeberto]

Did you tell me about that when we were taking prom pictures or am I just making up things in my head without realizing it?

I've never done it. Always thought it'd be cool, though. I think I had a project once to say what I would put in a time capsule to represent this age in the future, but I don't remember when I did it or what I put in.

[Psychotic]

My saliva, blood and hair, so that the people of the future can make a clone of me with their superior technology, and I shall rule the world once more.

[Dreddz]

No.

[Rengori]

Oh crap, I think I left one buried at our old apartment.

Considering that's pretty much the exact place where it happened, I'd imagine I did tell you then.

[Rye]

I don't think so. My time capsule would be pretty silly. :p

[Levian]

They already found my capsule. (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/04/0406_060406_judas.html)

[Venom]

I left my sanity in my time capsule.

Wont be diggin it up anytime soon.

[DeathKnight]

It doesn't really matter

We'll all be dead in either 2029 or 2036 (proved by NASA):tonberry: :tonberry: :tonberry:

I would leave samples of popular customs in this day and age, like games, clothing, etc.

I was meaning to start a thread about how we should set up some kind of EoFF Time Capsule but I forgot to. Oops.

I think we once did some kind of time capsule in primary school. Not entirely sure, though.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I have dozens of saved threads from 2000 through 2002. That's your EoFF time capsule right there.

[Loony BoB]

Hmm - any chance of you zipping them up and sending them to me? =o

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

You'd have to unblock me on AIM for that to happen.

[Loony BoB]

I haven't blocked you. =o I'm at work right now, though, so I can't receive files that way at the moment. I'll message you when I'm home.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

If you haven't blocked me then why do you never respond to my poetry and Saaya Irie links?

[Loony BoB]

Because you go offline before I wake up!

EDIT BY BoB: Please stop posting off-topic, me.

I've never buried a time capsule. Seeing as I've only ever lived in rental houses it's never been possible. I reckon it'd be a pretty cool thing to do though. I have no idea what I'd leave in a time capsule. Maybe clippings of important stories from the newspapers - something like that.

I was thinking about burying a time capsule once, but what the hell is the point? So many people do it, so what you'll bury won't exactly be rare.

[fire_of_avalon]

Nothing. That's what archaeologists are for. :)

Depends on what the plan is for your time capsule, and what you put in it. The main thing is that you make it personal, as far as I'm concerned, and that either you open it and go through a stage of nostalgia (possibly alongside other people who you buried it with, in some cases) in 10-50 years time... or else you make it a 100 year burial and the people who find it can put it into some sort of school history thing as to what life was like 100 years ago. I guess. Those are just some common ideas, though, I'm sure there are a lot of reasons people have done it.

[theundeadhero]

When we were 18 me and my friends always talked about burying our own time capsule in my backyard and then digging it back up years later. We never did get around to it and now I wish we had.

An envelope labeled "Nuclear Weapon Plans 2006" and inside are instructions for assembling a coffee maker

[Itsunari 2000]

Plastic explosives ... A Blast from the Past, indeed.

[Cz]

My school did one a while back, but there wasn't anything interesting in it. Something tells me that the people of the future won't give a damn about someone as inconsequential as myself.

Oh /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif, Psyballs. There goes the planet.


I would bury the internet so that people of the future can see what a buncha losers we were :D

I think I made one with my friends when I was little, it was the most amazing carboard box ever. :) I would proberly throw in my diary and write a letter or something, with a funny picture of me. :p
