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.
@YoorWeb@tostiman (dev here) we don't currently support setting exact dates 😄
do you accept pull requests?
Why the downvotes? He did set it to 2 years.
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.
Just remember not to die smh
Oh fuck I forg-
They forgor 💀
RIP in peas.
You fucking monster! Just put me to death.
The only thing I worry about is the living conditions of middle-aged and elderly people, although I think too much about it now
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.
Looks like slime
I'll be 65, so I hope I'll still be around.
Ah, a fellow Gen Xer! Whatever.
I thought the damn meme said 2024 until I read this comment and thought you were 64 rn. 🤣
I'm bummed now. Got all excited it was gonna open next year. Gotta wait until I'm 57.
Damn man i didn't expect for someone so active in so many communities to be your age
He's not 65 right now
I'm 41. I've been active on the Internet since 1994, and will continue to be until I'm dead or the Internet dies. Roll of the dice as to which will happen first I guess.
I still think about this capsule every few months. I remember when they sealed it. Items include a game boy and a cassette tape of music.
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.
I mean outside of one flashback to Jacone blood bending during his trial is Sokka even mentioned at all?
I genuinely can't remember if he even had a speaking line in that flashback. They did Sokka sooooo dirty.
I know there's a lot of Korra enjoyers out there so I'll admit there must be some appeal to it but their treatment of the original cast is near the top of my list of reasons I hated it.
I think he has one or two, but yeah basically just completely ignores him.
That's fair, it's hard for a spin off series to capture the magic when a lot of the love comes from character chemistry. I personally grew up with Avatar on Nick and still found Korra to be enjoyable, but I didn't have as much of an attachment to ATLA as some people so I didn't really feel like it was missing that special something.
I like the TLOK cast, minor characters included. The only thing that never sat well with me was the rushed Asami/Korra romance that wasn't even really hinted at previously as more than a friendship, unless you consider her responding to letters as a specifically romantic situation. Obviously it would be difficult to get away with showing an openly bi/lesbian romance in a nickelodeon cartoon but it felt like they were just trying to imply it for tokenism instead of committing or just not having Korra end up with someone at all.
Some guy 13 years before ATLA was aired
"Did you know Toph and Sokka hooked up?"
"...wut?"
"Yeah, after the fire lord is defeated and everything returns to normal, Toph admits to Sokka that she's wanted him ever since the bull moose event in book 3."
"WUT"
Nickelodeon studios is gone. It's a blue man show now.
The capsule is now located at the Nick animation studios. It moved a couple of times.
the camera being included is the best bit
Not true I'm fattening myself up so my cat can eat me
Might as well stick around for the time capsule opening at this point, then let your cat chow down.
Oops, all slime!
Did you also recently watch the recent Bright Sun Films video about Nickelodeon Studios?
There's at least 2 of us!
LFG.
I bookmarked this post so I'll remember to look at it in 19 years
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.
Ah, the youth of today...
I was watching Nickelodeon in the 1980s. Pinwheel, You Can't Do That on Television, Turkey TV, Out of Control, Mad Movies... Nickelodeon was great back then. The concept of green slime, which Nickelodeon has claimed ownership of, came from You Can't Do That on Television, which was a Canadian show. Alanis Morrisette was on it as a child.
I heard that!
Turkey TV was the shit. And Mad Movies... No wonder I became such an MST3K fan.
Another MSTie! Maybe Mad Movies was what made me such a fan too, but either way, I love both shows.
I bet there are a lot of MST fans on lemmy. Seems like a similar demographic.
Could be. I'm on the official forums too. It's very laid back, basically troll-free and everyone is friendly. Even if I didn't like MST, I'd love those forums. Where else am I going to spend hours posting AI generated pictures of Godzilla doing ridiculous things?
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's fun. Have some fun.

It's probably not. It was created by children's TV network Nickelodeon.
