I'm going to 3d print the internet with PCV boards and promptly throw it away.

Fast forward 400 years and a new religion gets started when someone unearths the metal blog tablets.

Now that you mention it, are there laser etching or engraving tools that may be available outside of industrial applications should one want to record their silly thoughts in a more permanent form?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

They're not cheap, but you can definitely get a very capable laser set up nowadays that you could etch a non corrosive material with. Some are pretty cool and even are able to etch curved surfaces rather easily on the user end.

Doubt laser could etch deep enough to survive wear and tear for thousands of years.

I mean, we have thousand years old paper and clay tablets.

I'd be less worried about the depth of the laser than the depth of the corrosion that the metal might face over time.

Glass or ceramic might work better.

laser etched ceramic is just modern clay tablets

This is what the IPFS is for.

That would be a good thing for historians so they'll be able to know for a fact that we had nothing interesting to say.

Bamboozled again by Ea-Nasir

The intent was to give people a sense of pride and accomplishment for making anything useful out of sub-standard copper.

"I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted."

Haha, I came in here to comment the same exact thing.

I've been re-reading WoA the past week and as soon as I saw this post I was like "holy shit Kwaan is on tumbler!"

Future archaeologists will wonder at how 'literally' became defined as its own antonym, and why there were no other adverbs for a decade.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

This, literally

It's hyperbole

I imagine that, given enough time, fundamentalist religious assholes will figure out a way to destroy everything, including themselves.

Huh? What does this have to do with the price of tea in China?
