I put it all inside an aluminum tool box for a pickup truck that was dented up really bad and was going to be thrown away. It was still airtight so I made the strange time capsule. Then I closed it, epoxied the seam where the box opened so it was sealed. Then I lowered the box into the incomplete basement of a school being built. The next day, a foundation was poured where a large water pipe manifold was going to be placed. The box was covered completely with concrete. A few days later, the manifold was installed over the reinforced concrete slab. Today, the school is still functioning. Maybe one day in the future, someone will find the aluminum time capsule when the school will be demolished. I found a 55 gallon nylon barrel that still seals extremely good. This one gets an i5 laptop running Ubuntu, a Galaxy Note 9, a ten dollar bill, two USB flash drives with photographs, an Xbox 1 with a few games, coins, and more to come. This one is being buried in a house that is being rehabilitated. The in-ground pool will be filled in mid summer and a garage will be built over it. I will never find out if they are ever discovered.

Why's it matter?

[@mrbleach8688]

@@jamesporter6288 Its matter, because it has mass and takes up space

[@nutellamonsta5602]

Nice

[@TheNacho1717]

Banter Board maybe she didn’t want to. Why are you so weirdly concerned about that?

[@coinucopia]

Banter Board, how many does she need?

My husband had to crawl under our WW1 era home to fix something. Any work we ever did to the house was painstaking because nothing was done right. Guess what he found? Yep, you guessed it......dozens of empty little “medicine” bottles. Some of them were cough syrup, which usually had a high alcohol content....others, I didn’t know. He brought out about 10-15 bottles of various sizes and shapes. And he couldn’t bring out the rest because there were so many. He estimated there were at least 50-75 more bottles. So, now we know why nothing was done right. We had to replace the toilet and pipe under the house. When he and his Dad pulled out the toilet, all that was supporting it was 2 bricks and a small piece of scrap wood.

This is one of the few Time Capsules that was successfully sealed.

"Put an iPhone in there!". No. A Nokia. It'll survive for millennia.

I’m making a time capsule and I thought of a few things you could include: A note - Kinda obvious Your favorite book(s) Some coins or money A piece of clothing Masks An mp3 player with some music on it - make sure it is wrapped TIGHTLY in multiple layers of plastic and also include the charger A picture of yourself and others A few pictures of famous places and landmarks so they can compare in the future (If you don’t want it to be opened for in quite a while) A story about Covid Fidgets because why not A diary Your favorite toy or something A list of your favorite places or things A note of your goals A note about your life And a few things that you think would be cool or historical in the future Bye! Hope you have fun making your time capsule!

[@DG-gl3fz]

Wish they could have used a larger box and included everyday items of the time. Still really interesting though.

[@HelamanGile]

Yay some actual news non-political
