!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Don't make it for a rando in 1,000 years
Make it for your great-grandkids in 100 years. Leave specific instructions in your will.
You're still dead reaching out to someone across time. But it's someone with a good chance of seeing the world not too differently from you, and who you might actually care about.
And who might actually treasure the hot wheels you spent thousands of hours playing with
I want to do this now. Thanks for the idea!
It will almost certainly be found, and probably sooner than you expect. That's my guess.
Nothing digital, you can't know what tech will be available. Pictures and stories of your every day life with plenty of detail, plus what you think the future will be like, again with plenty of detail--everyone likes to laugh at how wrong we get this, and the occasional thing we get right. Handwritten would be best. The further back in the past, the fewer details we have of everyday life. Only the official records survive long term, and that is "written by the victors", so to speak. One of the most interesting things we have from the past is the complaint about a copper shipment. It's interesting because we can all relate to that.
For some reason this read in Baz Luhrmann’s Everybody’s Free voice and it was really nice
Thyme.
A thyme time capsule if you will.
One of those cans of nuts that's really a spring-loaded snake toy thing.

The Lemmy Capsule™
kobolds I had to look those up, never heard of them before.
Something personal. There's probably enough "this is what humanity was like in the year nnnn" timecapsules already. Something that won't decay even under time capsule conditions.
Wgrite an incredibly cryptic note explaining that the following pages are a coded manifesto pointed towards something valuable. Fill the next 4 pages with heavily encrypted text of something really dumb and pointless.
We're still trying to figure out a ton of cryptic stuff, it'd be funny to have one just be a straight up hoax and still get taken seriously.
Maybe some old tech or gadget you have laying around that isn't worth much and you're unlikely to user/sell/repurpose. Just make sure to remove any kind of battery, and wrap the device in paper, then plastic to minimize chance of corrosion damage and mess from plasticizers breaking down
A construction/utility worker in 50–100 years may get a kick out of seeing a midrange smartphone from 2010 the same way I'd be thrilled to find a cheap trypewriter or electric clothes iron from 50+ years ago. Mundane things don't tend to get intentionally preserved, so it's fun when you find one.
Get a 50+ year old shoe box
Buy a bunch of fake historic coins on the internet.
Find and print a historic news article about some sort of treasure find from around the same time as the shoe box. Bonus points if on actual newsprint.
Wrap coins in printed news article, place in box, seal box under cement.
A collection of satirical images depicting the annoying orange.
An extremely ridiculous selfie.
Some good smut.
A good, important book that might soon find its way on a burning pile if the general state of things doesn't improve. Especially if it's something not extremely common, it might actually have some scientific/cultural value once unearthed. Texts do actually get lost/forgotten, and the ephemeral nature of digital media plays into that, too.

Yeah, the internet probably won't exist anymore
