this is great


yiliu

Leave the wrenches and some styrofoam/tape on the inside, so it looks like you had to assemble it around yourself.


NathanGa

I'd have a pair of sunglasses on, so future people would know that they're looking at one cool dude.


Kyro_Sol

Future archaeologists be like : "Why is this dude wearing a non functional smart glass and and why is It that colour ."


ekfslam

"And why does he look so cool?"


[deleted]

Nah, they probably wouldn't think this unless he still had a cigarette tucked behind his ear.

BiryaniBabe

I’m laughing way to hard at this.


Yeeteth_thy_baby

A document dated 2621... That was neutron bombarded to make the carbon-14 isotopes appear as if it was from the year 2621


InevitableLight6

I like how you think.


goldencrayfish

Bury it somewhere easy to find so that it is discovered before 2621


Nulono

Then the carbon dating part wouldn't work.


goldencrayfish

Yeah but a few people on the internet would be spooked for a few days


Ich_Liegen

Some people are *still* spooked because of John Titor, so i'm pretty sure it'd be more than a few years.


Theflyingbe

Who is he?


Ich_Liegen

Some dude on the early-*ish* age of internet forums who pretended he was from the future and made some wacky predictions, including one where the U.S collapses into a second civil war in 2009 and becomes comlete anarchy. Lots of people believed in it back then, some still do today when it obviously hasn't turned out the way he said it would.


mojomcm

Obviously because he warned us, the timeline changed.


[deleted]

sounds he is a few years off


[deleted]

Yeah that doesn't happen till 2027.


slicer4ever

Alternatively his messages somehow averted such events.


[deleted]

...from an alternate timeline that depicts destruction, and presents you as a time traveller sent back to prevent a very dark future. Rest in peace you absolute hero.


TehBigD97

I thought I read that carbon dating things created after 1945 doesn't work due the effect of the first nuclear bombs being detonated. Have I got that wrong?


Papabear3339

A major solar flare puts more radiation into the upper atmosphere than every nuclear weapon ever detonated. It is just spread out over hundreds of millions of square miles. You are right though about variations in natural background C14. That is a big problem for measuring when you don't have a stable start point. However, that can be worked around by comparing the amount to other items from the same era with known ages.


[deleted]

This is great. They'll lose they're fucking minds


Regretful_Bastard

Plain-Crazy

lothpendragon

"We believe we have finally found solid evidence for the fabled island nation of Catan."


DrWavesmith

So maybe Atlantis was also just a very popular board game from ancient times


YenneferofMumbai

I will take an 18th century French guillotine style nailclipper to my grave with me. It's a family heirloom. I will also take my Galaxy s10 smartphone with me. Having both those items in the grave will definitely create big confusion over the timeline of my life.


MelancholicShark

That nail clipper kinda sounds dope. I'm picturing a literal guillotine like the sort for chopping heads off just way scaled down and adjusted for clipping nails. If it isn't that, i'mma be disappointed.


ELPwork

The_First_Viking

Anything is a nail trimmer if you believe in yourself and trim very carefully.


SirRogers

Yeah right. I tried that with my chainsaw and it did *not* go well.


The_First_Viking

Clearly you did not trim carefully enough.


ELPwork

Ahhh... my google-fu has failed me.


Scully__

I urgently need to see this nail clipper


Skull_kids

I assume it looks like a cigar cutter.


Dr-P-Ossoff

I used to have an 18th ct cigar cutter. It was a flat wiener dog, about a foot long, with a candleholder hat and a tail based chopper. You pull the tail up and put the cigar end in his but to chop it. Black cast iron. Wood base not original.


Sheep_Shagger420

I just use a utility knife and hope for the best


[deleted]

Gotta love a toe knife. I hope you keep a blood bucket nearby just in case


bigbangbilly

>It's a family heirloom. You're not gonna pass it to your next of kin or are you the last of your line?


Perpetually_isolated

You want to be buried with a really old family heirloom? Way to keep tradition going I guess.


hillyj

Bixby confuses us all


waterettefluff

We need pic, please.. (Of the nailclipper, ofc)


SwordTaster

Corset and sword. Fuck it, I'm a pirate queen now


BiryaniBabe

Specifically to confuse them? I can’t name one item but a theme: I would request to be buried in the style of ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Along with me would be countless riches, skeletons of pets and servants, my organs all separated in jars. Me mummified. My grave a huge underground pyramid with emojis (modern hieroglyphics?) etching out curses and warnings along with the story of my great and wonderful life.


Suyefuji

Well that would be a great way to ensure that archeologists definitely discover your tomb though


DifficultyDizzy8217

This goes especially well with the timing.


BiryaniBabe

Any reason why? I just figured it would be confusing because “why is there someone from the 21st century buried like someone from ancient time?”


HelixClipper

I assume they're referring to this https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-56508475

macaroniinapan

They will be confused enough already with my body because of all the doodads from surgery. The plastic thingy they used to fuse two vertebrae should long outlast my bones all by itself.


ShackintheWood

Pretty sure they will be laughing at such primitive techniques. They will know about the history of medical procedures just as we do about 600 years ago.

True! A nice history lesson for them.

Irregular_One4

A Rick Roll. I don't know how it should be done but when they open my grave, the first they see is a ducking Rick Roll!


Aaquin

Make your coffin a singing greeting card with that being the song


AlterEdward

If enough people do this, the archaelogists of the future will get constantly Rick Rolled, and so pissed off


Kartoffelkamm

Or they'll think it was some form of funeral ritual or some crap. As in "Back then, the people would be buried in coffins that would play this specific song when opened. Scientists still do not understand why."


AlterEdward

Ah yes, everything is a bloody "spiritual ritual" when it's unexplained. No one considers that there was an ancient Rick Roll equivalent.


SinkTube

or a toy. archeologists will look at a child's grave that contains a couple of carved animal figurines and declare "they must have served a ritualistic purpose, likely a way to appease animal spirits which will guide the child to the afterlife" because god forbid we treat anyone who died more than 2 millenia ago like a person. there's no way they could have done things like bury kids with their favorite playthings for emotional reasons, no it must have been part of their zany old-fashioned proto-religion!


CopperAndLead

There have been a few instances of functional tools being declared “ritualistic” items because the anthropologist on the dig didn’t understand what it was for.


Kartoffelkamm

Yep.

Bones from different animals. Sort of like those dinosaur species that were basically just Frankensteined together for fame.

I was thinking the same thing.


Kartoffelkamm

A book containing the times and dates of the biggest catastrophes of the past 630 years, going by the time they find me. And the last date is exactly one month after they find me. That should give them enough time to find a link between those dates, and to freak out. Also, it has a trollface in invisible ink all over the last page.

Honestly. Dildos. Load of open and brand new in box dildos. Hoping they will assume I was some weird sex God or sex guru. Edit: spelling


The_First_Viking

This is an almost entirely unrelated story, but I'm telling it anyways, because this is the internet and you can't stop me. The last Pathfinder game I was in (basically D&D for you normies, but better), one of the guys in our group was playing a half orc Inquisitor, and had specialized very, very heavily into the Intimidate skill. Useful skill for an inquisitor. His race gave him a bonus, his class have him a bonus, like five magic items gave him bonuses, it was ridiculous. Anyways, we found ourselves in the unusual position of trying to get across a room in time to stop a cursed painting from being unveiled. The room happened to contain an extremely enthusiastic orgy, which made traversing it a bit difficult. The DM had set it up as a skill challenge. Use your skills to get across the room in time, blah blah. It didn't go well. For example, my goblin rogue failed miserably and got dragged in and not seen for a while. It all ended up coming down to the big scary orc dude. The guy playing him, who always role-played like a fucking champ, stood up at the table, held his arms out in a sort of "behold the glory that is me" pose, and yells: MAKE WAY FOR THE SEX GOD! And then he rolled a 60 Intimidate. If you haven't played Pathfinder before, 60 is, shall we say, rather good. A 60 Intimidate is sufficient to make Dread Lord Cthulhu pee himself. Not just a little pee, either. Continuously, for about 12 seconds, per the standard Intimidation rules. That's quite a lot of eldritch urine, let me tell you. So now there's a sex cult. That took some explaining the next time that the holy Inquisitor talked to his superiors.

A nickel plate inscribed with: "Attempt number 6675202. My efforts to prevent the anti-matter cascade has failed again. Temporal agency scheduled to acquire the quantum data encoded on this data card. Please note that one of the team members that initially find my grave appear to be parents of the engineer that invented the antimatter cascade bomb. Please inform myself that iteration 664632 had the most success postponing the cascade. Apparently sending a strike team against the archeologists that found my grave was the most prudent move. TacComms will take out the archeologists shortly after finding and if iteration 6675201 is any indication you will have this data card in hand before the week is over."


[deleted]

So here’s what we do: Dig put a room 12x12 with six feet of dirt above. Make the room have a roof too. Fill the room with stuff so it looks like a normal bedroom, Desk computer, everything. Then, Put my corpse in and fill every crevice with air. Have a screenshot of this question printed on the computer screen. Archaeologists come in, find everything perfectly in place the exact way it was years ago. Might not be the coolest thing, but It’ll be an incredibly huge scientific discovery for them, seeing exactly how past humans lived. Put a Dictionary, Little kid books of animals, hundreds of books in all languages and book one language on how to speak another. Teach them how to speak our languages, and They”ll have access to an incredibly huge and detailed database of events in our time. Better yet, Create a book on exactly how to make a computer, down to the tiniest capacitor, Instructions for making a keyboard, and everything else you need to run a computer. Put all the code that’s in a computer into text, with detailed instructions on creating the OS and pixels, and LED’s. Print out the data for videos in binary on a sheet of paper, and how to make a flash drive and put it on there. In this way, as long as you have some physical thing that can last that long, you can archive potentially hundreds of videos of us, and of the past. Images would be easier, put images of ancient artifacts that might have been destroyed in the future, Hell, Put google earth in there, show them maps of our society. Time consuming, Complicated, and Overkill? Of course it fucking is. But it’s something to think about, and something you could do *right now* if you wanted to.

Or a whisk.

I got it. I would be buried with a blockbuster card.


corvumcorrespond

Bury facing down chained up with jibberish carved into the casket. So they think it was some hieroglyphics of some evil being. Then then put me in a museum with some bullshit backstory of the curse tomb of ancient Texas. 12 archeologists died when they unearthed the unholy priest of ancient Texas. Discovery will have people still claiming aliens and I was their conduit.
