beanie babies and pogs.

Several dozen binders filled with Pokemon cards.

You should engrave a somewhat profound sounding quote from Ace Ventura or similar. Make it look like this kitsch is something profound and important a la Andy Warhol.

Every single type of fleshlight.

Candy bar wrappers with a note reading, "I baked a cake, but I ate that too."

At least give them something good.

Engrave a made up fiction language, i.e., Klingon, or Elvish from Lotr or something. That will completely fuck with any archaeologist in the future.

OR put some very official seal, e.g., the US president's seal, or Vatican, etc.

Hopefully the copies of Ace Ventura are store bought. Home burned DVDs do not last very long.You would be better off printing pics on archival paper with the proper ink.

There was a third Ace Ventura movie? Also, >>322492
is right. They'd better be VHSs. Or better yet, you
could actually bury things from the time when you're
burying the capsule instead of this fiasco.

DVDs and tapes lose their data with time, most likely just two or three decades. The only way to preserve data for eternity on a budget is vinyl.

>>322248
Why not put animals in jars with some sort of preserving fluid? Or better yet, make it alien looking and then gather different bones, real bones, from animals and put them together to make some sort of creature. Maybe they would believe it's an alien specimen?

Beta tapes, mini-disks and HD DVDs. Copies of really bad AAA vidia games

fill it with furbies

Throw in some incomplete math notes that make it seem like important work was being done. A half finished prototype of something. Then engrave government agencies on the outside.

I imagine there was a huge warehouse of them when they became unpopular. So they took them, added some new internals, and are trying to bring it back.

This. You are welcome

>>322482

You do know that movie was actually a book published in 1971, right? The movie actually left a little bit of stuff out that could have made it better. Still a good movie. Even better book.

Also, you should put a copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in there - the book.

A bible.

>implying anything in your time capsule will be intact when it's found again

If you don't put in LoZ:OOT, You are a nigger and have no right making a time capsule.

>>322775
If you're putting that in, you want to put in everything Thompson took with him to Las Vegas. And maybe his suicide note.

>>322819

Can't argue the suicide note. All of his stuff is too much though. If a lot of literature is put in, it should be diverse.

>>322581
VHS tapes deteriorate over time. Unless you can get a film print of the movie (lol) DVD is probably the most archival format.

i thought of doing this too but with vhs tapes. it starts off as a serous self made tape of someone sending greetings from 1995 and then 5 min in it suddenly cuts to me wearing a rubber horse head jacking off on the beanie babies i had also put in the capsule.

Oh wow did you seriously build that thing in the pic?

You guys are completely missing the point, you're not trying to be explicit about filling it with shit you need things that someone will scrutinize because it seems stupid but just slightly profound in the right context.

And no real suggestions either, fuck. Don't be stupid.

Just absolutely nothing inside.
Make sure it's locked up real good too.

Hard drive in locked case with government seal, heavily encrypted but giving them enough info to brute force it (has to be very hard encryption by modern standards), when the finally crack it, 1000 copies of a youtube rip of rick roll.

If you want to make it seem important, engrave part of the Voynich manuscript on it.

Even the future doesn't know how to use em.

make the capsule so that it has a deadend lock so that once you lock it, it can never be opened without forcing it open. engrave "sorry for the inconvenience" on the inside in large letters. leave empty.

I think it would be smarter to pump the chamber full with an inert gas.

A copy of scorpion king 2, on blu-ray.

Wow. OP I have done something similar, I went to a university that had an ornate unused unmarked journal from the late 1800s that I bought with a bunch of old ink and paint.

I then proceeded to create my own language based on a sigil generator and put bullshit drawings all up and down that shit like it was the voynich 2 electric boogaloo. There was an actual book in there, but I doubt they have read it, or dug it up yet. I then got a bunch of steam punk looking stuff and then put it in an all glass container that I also pinped in a similar manner and buried after marking the location and part of the geocoords in riddle format on a strip of wax paper I put in cryptex which I hawked at a renne fair to some steam punk people for $50, with the clue how to open it in a more recent journal (1950s era) that I paid a girl I knew who took caligraphy to write out a phony journal and clues to open the cryptex. I spent $200 total on all of it, and man that was the best money I ever spent on something I know will never be seen again.

But I digress, here is a moonspeak generating picture, all you do is connect the letters in the dots to form words and boom, instant alien language.

>>324462
That actually sounds pretty cool.
>>322248
The entire Air Bud collection

>>324462
What would you do for double letters? Put a dot over it or something?

I think that whatever you put in it to troll the future, future will be so advanced in trolling that they'll find a way to troll you back.
Also, protect the capsule with the most annoying captcha you can generate.

>>324462
I used your moonspeak generator, it's quite nice.

>>322248
anything from the last 3 failed demokrat US Presidents

copies of "the magic school bus" on VHS tapes
label them something important sounding to historians like "life and culture in the year 1990" or "religious readings from pope [whatever]"
a really cheesy yoga VHS, complete with neon leg warmers
you should engrave the plate with a rebel alliance logo, and not include any star wars whatsoever inside the capsule, they won't know what it is (unless they still have wikipedia in the future)
that's all I can think of

>>322398
>A strange scrap of paper with loads of numbers on it
seconded

Fill it with a completely unbelievable amount of porn. Like, more than one person could ever possibly watch. Until the thing is full. Then think of something actually important, and hide it in the scat section. 100 years to dig up, 100 years before anyone finds the real content.

>>325570
100 years? You vastly underestimate people's strange fetishes and consumption of porn

op needs to fill the time capsule with vhs tapes but only provide a beta max player.

I think it's very important that you give the inside of that capsule the most distinctive, unique, confusing, and powerful smell possible. It wont take up space either, so why not?
Burnt hair, cheerios, hot sauce, rotting marijuana, listerine, and the smell of freshly opened pokemon cards would all work. Just make sure that they have nothing to do with the physical contents.

Wire up some kick ass speakers right near the door and rig up some kind of motion activated MP3 player with a long lasting power source. When they open it up have the MP3 player play the most blood curdling scream you can find. Trolling from beyond the grave

>>325824
