My jaw dropped … off my face … and onto the flooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaa

None … but if I had had a relative or friend tell me a story that someone had buried something there 50 years ago, I would have taken the time to dig it up while I was tearing down walls or breaking concrete.

Thanks for the detailed explanation … now I know not to rely on usb for extremely long term storage … never understood how they worked until I read your comment.

It makes me wonder … what long term storage would be the best option for storing digital information … like to store something for 100 or 200 years? Anything beyond that and I would just rely on writing something in stone and burying it.

A time capsule

Place photos and some small objects maybe even a usb key, dvdr or cdr with a video of you explaining everything and telling the viewer who you are, what year it is, what’s going on and what’s important to you right now. Place it all in a water tight container, maybe even an iron case and weld it shut.

If you have small kids, tell them what you’re doing and show them … maybe they or their kids or your descendants might dig it up some day.

Of all the places I’ve renovated, I would have enjoyed finding something from someone else’s life.

I’ve always wanted to try a pu pu platter. My wife kept saying it was a dumb idea and for years we never ordered it. My local Chinese restaurant advertised a ‘Flaming Pu Pu Platter’ and I never cared what it would have tasted like, I just wanted to say I ordered it.

I finally decided on just ordering it one day and I told my wife I didn’t care, I’m getting it.

The lady who owned the place then told me that they got rid of it a year before because no one ordered it any more.

Greatest disappointment in my life :(

I’ve never been able to find a ‘Flaming Pu Pu Platter’ again.

By remembering and being fully aware of who you are in this world … by being grateful for the good fortune you had by being born in the situation and family you have now.

You could have been born in an African village and lived for a year before dying of something. You could have been born in the slums of Mumbai. You could have been born in Gaza. You could also remove the time constraint and you could have been born a peasant in medieval Europe.

Out of all the billions of human lives that have existed so far, there are many that were born during this time but only a small percentage of them were lucky enough to be born in a family with wealth and privilege enough to enjoy the modern technologies we’ve created so far.

I am lucky, you are lucky and anyone who is able to read this is lucky to have been born at this time to enjoy this online chat.

Remember where you are in this world and this time. As unhappy as you think you might be, there are millions of people that wish they could have the life you have now.

Be happy because you are a winner of the cosmic lottery of existence.

Like I said … it’s all a hallucination.

I joke about this with my old friends who grew up in the 60s and 70s and tell me their wild stories of doing drugs marijuana, LSD, MDMA, and whatever else they had.

I tell them they’re still there and the trip hasn’t ended yet and they’ll wake up soon. I’m an illusion, this is all in your mind … you’ve been hallucinating the past 40 years.

Where is this restaurant and how do I book a table?

Most people (including myself) would like to agree with you on building some sort of system to create credibility or honesty or reliability among people on a social media platform. I think the majority of people that use any social media (including Lemmy) would probably agree and more than likely would participate in it.

Unfortunately, it only takes a small group of people to upset the system, game the system, play with the system or create situations or systems of their own to manipulate everything … either to fight against others, or to generate some sort of power or control of their own. All it would take is this small group to completely change everything and make everything difficult and non functional.

It’s a lot like the democratic system of government. When you think about it the majority of everyone would like to participate in it and make it work … unfortunately, its only a small group of powerful individuals who have gamed the system to give themselves and their friends power over everyone else.

The water looks a bit too hot … and acidic

It’s not so much that it’s AI generated … it’s also AI influenced.

I know so many professional office workers who once wrote some of the most boring sometimes stupid emails because they didn’t know how to write or get their message across or constantly miscommunicated things because they worded things wrong … now all of a sudden they’ve become professional writers and all their emails look like auto generated messages.

I’m guessing that many writers also take the AI shortcut. They get a bunch of content generated from an AI than just rewrite it for themselves. Some content i see is lazily edited and some is heavily. But I get the feeling that just about everyone is using it because it’s an easy way to get a bunch of work done without having to think too much.

The first part is true … no one cares about the second part of your statement.

A great shitpost about pee … beautifully done … now I gotta go pee … by myself … with no one holding my pee pee … so they don’t do a helicopter while I pee

Did you try turning the book on, then off again?

People don’t realize that cooking oil, olive oil, any food oil no matter how many times you think you cooked it or reheated it does go bad, especially if you just leave it sitting in the open air for days or weeks.
