there were the Rodney King riots

Billl Cosby won a kids choice award, *Jeffrey Dahmer was found sane and guilty of murder

John Gotti convicted of murder

Goosebumps by R.L. Stine is first published

Cartoon Network goes on air

Sinéad O’Connor rips up a picture of Pope John Paul II on SNL

Rage Against the Machine releases their first album

Disney’s Aladdin is released and makes a fuck load of money

Billy Ray Cyrus’s daughter is born

Russian Federation is formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union

  Billy Ray Cyrus’s daughter is born
  
  She has a song out called “Used to be Young”. She was born in the 90s and has a song out about not being young and crazy any more. WF-actual-F

    She’s 31. Which isn’t that old I suppose but older than the “young and crazy” phase I suppose

  Hey, I was born this year!
  
  Did you use a specific website to gather all this info?
  
  I remember someone mentioned a link to watch interesting stuff from the past here on Lemmy 🤔

    Nothing specific, just looked through different news sites and found some things I thought were interesting.

    This would be the day that I die. And it comes out with some serious force like Katy Perry getting absolutely blasted to the floor? But the person who opens it is some old mayor or something. My entire life would have a point.

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.

I still think about this capsule every few months. I remember when they sealed it. Items include a game boy and a cassette tape of music.

  Some guy 13 years before ATLA was aired
  
  “Did you know Toph and Sokka hooked up?”
  
  “…wut?”
  
  “Yeah, after the fire lord is defeated and everything returns to normal, Toph admits to Sokka that she’s wanted him ever since the bull moose event in book 3.”
  
  “WUT”

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.

  - Lionel@endlesstalk.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
    But all of those kids are adults now. And the kids who will see it opened have no clue what it is.

  It’s more of a nostalgia thing for the kids who were there. The time capsule predates the web so they didn’t realize how easy it would be to just look up all the things that were in it. Instead they would open it in 50 years and everybody would say, “oh, I remember that thing” and have fond memories of their childhood.

Here’s a list of everything inside the time capsule:

Movies, including Home Alone and Back to the Future on VHS
CDs, including Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ’Em by MC Hammer and Michael Jackson's Dangerous album
A Nintendo Game Boy
Rollerblades
Reebok Pump sneakers
A jar of Gak, at the request of a Dr. Emmett Brown impersonator, who showed up in a real DeLorean and fake hair
One of Joey Lawrence’s “Whoa! ’92” hats, which he stopped by to present
News reports, including coverage of the AIDS crisis, Desert Storm, and the end of the Soviet Union
Books, including a world atlas, history book, comic book, phone book, the Orlando TV Guide for the week of April 30, 1992, and a copy of the Book of Endangered Species
An issue of Nickelodeon magazine
A Nicktoons t-shirt featuring Ren &amp; Stimpy
A piece of the Berlin Wall
A Barbie doll
Pencils
A skateboard
A baseball
Twinkies
A stick of bubble gum (though no one seems to know which kind)
Photos of things too big (or alive) to fit inside, including bicycles, planes, trains, cars, politicians and celebrities
A videotape, which was a recording of the live ceremony, shot by a girl named Vicky who stood onstage to operate the Kid Cam
The camera recording the tape, which appears to have been unplanned—Mike O’Malley and Joey Lawrence both looked baffled about how to remove the tape from the camera, so the whole setup was tossed in at the last minute

I know we’re only a bit over halfway there, but it’s weird and slightly disappointing how a good portion of those things haven’t changed much. As if they expected the change from 1992 to 2042 to be as drastic as the change from 1942 to 1992.

Bet those sneakers will sell for a fortune, if they don’t land in a museum

I didn’t even know Nickelodeon was around in '92. I always thought of them as being very much a '00s channel, maybe founded in the mid-to-late '90s.

Amazing that they were not only around, but old enough to feel it made sense to do a time capsule then.
