I think 2042 might still be too early to open it, but it will be nice for anyone there to watch it be opened, if they care!

I hope it’s just gallons and gallons of expired rotten Gak

Oh shit, 2042, that's, like, another 35 years from now, right?

Lowkey I hope it's just full of slime

Some time capsules are so unambitious. I remember seeing a library buried one for ten years. The person who buried it was the same person who dug it up.

Picture looks like it's full of Gak™

Oh shit. Now I have a reason to live! Thanks!

Its slime isn't it?

Now that you mention it, I would kind of like to know what color slime turns after that many years.

Dan Schneider's Phylactery

I'll be my early 50s, that's not even a good times capsule, I'll still know all of the things that are.

I suppose it's aimed at children, "this is what your parents thought was important", presumably everyone will then have a good laugh at the VCR in the cassette tape that will inevitably be in there and no one will have any way to play.

Drink Your Ovaltine

Seems to missing a few screws, looks like its already been opened.

Time capsules should be 100 years, so everyone from when it was sealed is dead.

Although, if you're sealing up a bunch of pop culture stuff, maybe it's better to make it 50 years? IDK.

I'm not very interested in time capsule, I guess.

Looks sort of like a Stargate (okay no chevrons to lock I know) just push the right coordinates on the DHD and you'll be fine. Depending where you are in the universe....or galaxy? Can't recall how far they went, time for another rewatch it seems.

50 years is at most only two generations. real change occurs at 5 or more
