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?
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.
He's a reddit troll
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.
It's probably not. It was created by children's TV network Nickelodeon.
It's fun to reminisce on what the world was like when you were a kid. This is literally for those same kids, now that they're adults. You may not hold any nostalgia but surely you can see the appeal of it.
Further, kids who do see it being opened will find it interesting. I was born right on the tail end of dial up and VHS but I remember thinking mums records and cassettes were, like, the coolest.
Holy gatekeeping 🤣
It's more of a nostalgia thing for the kids who were there. The time capsule predates the web so they didn't realize how easy it would be to just look up all the things that were in it. Instead they would open it in 50 years and everybody would say, "oh, I remember that thing" and have fond memories of their childhood.
what a sad depressed comment. go crawl back into your hole now
It's fun. Have some fun.
