Thoughts Astray: What would you put in your time capsule?

A time capsule serves as a bridge between generations, a vessel that transports the essence of our era into the future's mystery. The items we put in it - be it a letter, a technological device, or a mere photograph - mirror our aspirations, anxieties, and visions. It represents a mute dialogue with future generations, a way to share our story.
I have been reflecting on the items I have outgrown but still keep - old mobile phones, a few teeth. Maybe I can have some treasured photos printed on waterproof stickers to put in my time capsule for durability. I am also considering of creating a list of my online accounts, including login information. Who knows, maybe those accounts or websites will still be there after all these years.

I´d put a bottle of Baileys and one of Jack Daniels. A monopoly (loved that game). Some favorite vinyls. Some books.

@piyoz000 I hope I can save that way some poems that have been around for centuries. But now this young generation is not interested.

I am not really the time capsule kind of person. However, when I've seen it done on television, durable sastinable items were considered. Eletronics, such as old phones, would crode over time and when/if the capsle was discovered, if anything else with it, no one would be able to tell.

I might do the same when I can finally have a forever home, aside from the cemetery of course

@piyoz000 On one of my favorite reno shows, the property brothers kind of did the same with a family and literally hid it in the house.
