    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.

            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 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.

    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.
