In an alternate reality:

Janitor at university. Found locked military case in river. Coworker says FIM-92 Stinger missile. Heavy. Maybe water, maybe live missile. Call police. Military and EOD arrive. Entire campus locked down. Half of workers taken for questioning. EOD open it -- full of some idiot's clothes and books.

New grudge unlocked.

Or better yet, they decide to just blow it up to be safe.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

Imagine if it was full of adult toys. That would be something to talk about.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

And they blow it up. Turns out OP did give a flying f***

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (13 children)

You can say "fuck", here. See?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

people can also self-censor if they f***ing want to 😉

EOD don't open shit most of the time suspicious potentially unstable shit just gets a bit of c4 or anfo and a send off in place. It's one of the perks to just say dunno and light it the fuck up.

And their name in it...

This to save 100$, he's so real for that

[–] [email protected] 68 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can reuse it every summer? Multiple years of savings.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago

Omg yeah I did not think about that I feel dumb now thanks

Reminds me of when I made weekly trips to Denver for work. This was when recreational weed first came out. First day there I bought a glass pipe and a plastic container.

When I flew back home on Thursday I would bury the bowl in the plastic container behind the hotel I stayed at. On Mondays after I flew back to Denver I would dig up the bowl. Beats buying a new one every week or trying to fly with it.

After many weeks of this routine I didn’t find out until Thursday afternoon that this was my last trip and I wouldn’t be returning.

Some where out in Colorado Springs there is a weed bowl buried in the dirt. I wonder if anyone ever stumbled across it.

You could return to find out what happened to your weed.

Dude just reinvented buried treasure

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, and this is going to be a great hidden treasure in a post-nuclear wasteland world. Imagine doing a quest to find this treasure, and once you find it, you get nice pre-war clothes and a physics book that will give you +1 attribute to your science skill for reading it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Little disappointing given what the box looked like though

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah I'd much prefer a stinger missile

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

With the right physics book, this could turn into a "teach a man how to fish" situation

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

What kind of big ass fish are you hunting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Really? the battery coolant module is long expired and there are no aircraft to down in the wasteland lol

That definitely explains the random loot, tho

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

imagine opening one and finding a stinger... but the coolant's expired and there are no aircraft to down in the wasteland lol

Actually privately own storage room still cost about 100 € for summer storage today and that's with inflation.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah but can you chuck it in the river?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

No, and I'm very envious of this nice case.

International students often use it because it's not feasible to take their stuff home over the summer. I also used Summer storage, because I was estranged from my family, so didn't have a "home" to go back to and would have to spend the Summer in sublets or couch-surfing (the only accommodation that would accept me as a tenant were student properties, which is why I typically had to be out over the Summer).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

So students in the US who live in dorms need to move out during summers even if they come back the next semester? That’s crazy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My experience is actually in the UK, but based on anecdotes from friends, it's similar in the US.

In my case, in one of the years, I could apply to stay in university accommodation over the Summer, but the room I was allocated for that was tiny, so I needed to get some storage anyway. It's annoying as hell

I mean, if it works, who am I to criticize?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago

Why would you ever sell something this damn cool

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago

A high school friend put his Neo geo collection in one of those which was a proclamation of wealth I was unprepared for.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The river was the best option?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

The coolest, definitely

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

I appreciate the commitment to saving $100.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd paint over it, just in case someone thinks it might have explosives in it and panics.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I had something similar from a flea market surplus shop when I was in HS and kept it in the bed of my Tacoma to hold tools. It was cool as hell with its desert camo paint and dings and stuff. Well, after 9/11 I became popular with the cops cause I'd get pulled over, and told to stand by the hood of my car with both hands on it, while they checked it.

After about the 5th time, I sold it and bought a bed box.

I need to look more at milsup storage containers.

Them: What's in your GI footlocker case?
Me: Boots, floggers, and condoms, just like originally intended
