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.
They put the school rubble in the ground for people to discover in 50 years.
It’s the gift that won’t stop giving: asbestos.
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.
But… You Can’t Do That On Television.

You know what to do: drink water, eat healthy, lift weights, go swimming, quit social media, quit your stressfull job and find the little things that make you happy, you don’t need much.
The only thing I worry about is the living conditions of middle-aged and elderly people, although I think too much about it now
You fucking monster! Just put me to death.

@The_Picard_Maneuver Ok, I will remind you on Thursday Dec 18, 2042 at 6:31 AM PST.
The remind bot will remind you in December but it will be opened in April!
That’s the reminder to set a reminder for April
Good catch! I wonder if it can do dates…

GenZ here, I’m alive basically out of spite of not wanting to let the world kill me.
GenX here, I have no idea what’s going on with any of this.
Gen2 here I’m still compiling it
Last Generation here, we are all going to die.
Why you already know what’s in it

I don’t.
Spoiler alert!
Here’s a list of everything that’s in there along with a video of it being sealed if anyone doesn’t feel like waiting 19 more years lol
Here’s a list of everything inside the time capsule:
Movies, including Home Alone and Back to the Future on VHS CDs, including Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ’Em by MC Hammer and Michael Jackson's Dangerous album A Nintendo Game Boy Rollerblades Reebok Pump sneakers A jar of Gak, at the request of a Dr. Emmett Brown impersonator, who showed up in a real DeLorean and fake hair One of Joey Lawrence’s “Whoa! ’92” hats, which he stopped by to present News reports, including coverage of the AIDS crisis, Desert Storm, and the end of the Soviet Union Books, including a world atlas, history book, comic book, phone book, the Orlando TV Guide for the week of April 30, 1992, and a copy of the Book of Endangered Species An issue of Nickelodeon magazine A Nicktoons t-shirt featuring Ren & Stimpy A piece of the Berlin Wall A Barbie doll Pencils A skateboard A baseball Twinkies A stick of bubble gum (though no one seems to know which kind) Photos of things too big (or alive) to fit inside, including bicycles, planes, trains, cars, politicians and celebrities A videotape, which was a recording of the live ceremony, shot by a girl named Vicky who stood onstage to operate the Kid Cam The camera recording the tape, which appears to have been unplanned—Mike O’Malley and Joey Lawrence both looked baffled about how to remove the tape from the camera, so the whole setup was tossed in at the last minute
CDs, including Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ’Em by MC Hammer
Nice.
I know we’re only a bit over halfway there, but it’s weird and slightly disappointing how a good portion of those things haven’t changed much. As if they expected the change from 1992 to 2042 to be as drastic as the change from 1942 to 1992.
Bet those sneakers will sell for a fortune, if they don’t land in a museum
No way those movies will still play
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.
Nickelodeon studios is gone. It’s a blue man show now.
Blue Man show left during/after the pandemic. It’s mostly empty now
The capsule is now located at the Nick animation studios. It moved a couple of times.
Oops, all slime!
the camera being included is the best bit
LFG.
I bookmarked this post so I’ll remember to look at it in 19 years
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.
