    But all of those kids are adults now. And the kids who will see it opened have no clue what it is.

        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.

                    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.

      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.
