Can we vote? I say Elon Musk.
10/10 will rot in place, making more damage.
More or less damage than he’s currently doing?
To the structure of that building, more. Less everywhere, that’s the silver lining.
My brother and I put a corked glass bottle down in an old defunct drainage pipe beneath my parents’ house. This pipe/canal is quite large and isn’t obstructed by the bottle, and the bottle can clearly be seen by peering into a hole in the cement of the basement storage room. Inside of that bottle is a carefully folder paper bearing on it a crude drawing of a cock and balls.
I hope you used archival ink so it will last for generations
It was likely a permanent Sharpee marker. Hopefully it holds up. Fingers crossed that I’m able to return there as a ghost one day to watch someone unearth what they believed was a map to the family treasure.
incredible
The whole what?
It puts the Joe Dirt in the hole
A dictionary.
Not sure if you’re aware, but there’s a toilet in your bathtub.
Having pulled a toilet out to fix something more than once, the bathtub is exactly where you want to put it while you work.
Every bathtub’s a toilet if you believe in it enough.
There was an incident as a child
The ole waffle stomper

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.
Don’t bother with a usb key. Flash memory is technically volatile, it just takes a while to blank. Unless you plug the key in every 5 to 10 years, it will start losing data. By the time the time capsule is unearthed, it will likely be blank or corrupted.
I wouldn’t bother with the cdr or dvdr either, they’re likely to be dead too in 30y.
Yeah. Just print out some tasteful nudes, seal them in a ziplock bag and you’re good to go
Nah just trace a picture of Dickbutt.
Buy a plastic skeleton from a Halloween shop
No, obtain a real human skeleton from… a legal skeleton store 🤔
Termite treatment.
Fill some plastic bones from Walmart with some shot pellets.
Half a map
Stuff from different decades just to confuse whomever finds it. Like get a Five Stairsteps album from a used record store, a Blue Oyster Cult 8 track, a Tecmo Bowl cartridge, a Boyz II Men CD, and a newspaper from yesterday.
“This guy… had good taste.”
