The remind bot will remind you in December but it will be opened in April!
Good catch! I wonder if it can do dates...
@remindme@mstdn.social RemindMe April 30th, 2042
That's the reminder to set a reminder for April
Oops, all slime!
the camera being included is the best bit
It’s actually just a trap door that when opened spews slime on everyone nearby.
This might be the only satisfying and appropriate conclusion without things getting really somber really fast.
Did you also recently watch the recent Bright Sun Films video about Nickelodeon Studios?
There's at least 2 of us!
I didn't even know Nickelodeon was around in '92. I always thought of them as being very much a '00s channel, maybe founded in the mid-to-late '90s.
Amazing that they were not only around, but old enough to feel it made sense to do a time capsule then.
The lost season 4 script for the Last Airbender. We get to find out that Toph's kid is Sokkas
I'm still mad about how dirty they did Suki in TLoK. Not even a fucking offhanded mention.
Why you already know what's in it
Time capsules with less than 100 years are the dumbest thing.
When the same people who sealed it up are around to see it opened, it’s not a “time capsule” anymore than a couple of boxes at the bottom of the pile in my parent’s garage.
It's a silly little thing a kid's TV network did 31 years ago for kids. Calm down.
But all of those kids are adults now. And the kids who will see it opened have no clue what it is.
Yes. And?
Like the guy said, time capsules are pointless if the same people who made them are opening them. The kids who grew up aren’t kids anymore and the current kids won’t give a crap. Old stuff is lost on them. So basically this is for adults even though they have no personal connection to the time capsule.
Yeah, I understood this asinine point just fine the first time, thanks.
Instead of being a jerk, why don’t you explain how this is a useful time capsule?
Instead of being an ass, why don’t you explain how this is in any shape or form a useful time capsule?
No. I never made that claim so I have no obligation to defend it to some random dipshit on the internet.
Thanks for reminding me of what Reddit feels like.
Hey bud, if you're constantly seeing nothing but assholes everywhere on both reddit and Lemmy, you might want to consider that it's actually you that are kind of acting like an asshole.
Just something to consider.
Well I never said that but I’m not alone in thinking lemmy is becoming increasingly full of intolerant argumentative assholes. This is being discussed frequently in many posts and comments lately. The guy who engaged me was trying to be argumentative and not have a discussion, that much is clear.
Honestly I think Reddit is better in this regard, despite what I said. Usually you only get the pricks in certain communities.
you're the only one being an argumentative asshole. just let us watch the capsule opening you sad cry baby.
I guess I’m not allowed to have an opinion on this
You can have any opinion you like just the same as others can have an opinion about the comments you post.
Why do time capsules have to be longer than one lifetime? Doesn't time pass whether or not those people died by the open date?
It's for the people who were there or who watched it on TV. I'm looking forward to seeing the old stuff from when I was a kid. That's the whole point of the thing.
Looking at some of the headlines from 1992 is pretty interesting:
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states can't ban abortions
there were the Rodney King riots
Billl Cosby won a kids choice award,
Jeffrey Dahmer was found sane and guilty of murder
John Gotti convicted of murder
Goosebumps by R.L. Stine is first published
Cartoon Network goes on air
Sinéad O'Connor rips up a picture of Pope John Paul II on SNL
Rage Against the Machine releases their first album
Disney's Aladdin is released and makes a fuck load of money
Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter is born
Russian Federation is formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union
We did one of these in elementary school. One day while I was back in my hometown, I remembered it and decided to swing by the school to see if they ever did anything with it.
The school was bulldozed.
