Y'all need to stop making stuff like this because when we go into the dark ages or humanity is wiped out, future people or aliens will be trying to find things that don't exist.
- mbg721 5y agoYou mean, things like humanity? On a more serious note, I think it's kind of cool that archaeology has sometimes worked in kind of the opposite way; everyone assumed the Trojan War was just made up, and then they found Troy.
- Archelaos 5y agoYeah, stop writing novels! Plato was right.
- hwers 5y agoI've started to think that the plausibility of recovering a lot of the digital data we're creating in the case of a nuclear winter might be really low. Imagine walking a wasteland of abandoned computers in a fallout-style land. The vast majority would be behind passwords and even when it wouldn't, the internet wouldn't be accessible. Raid serverfarms? They'll be torn apart for metal or even if not, behind even stronger encryption than regular computers. Feels like our accumulated knowledge is a lot more fragile than we acknowledge.
- kingcharles 5y agoTrue. What's the chances of stumbling upon an abandoned Facebook data centre and actually being able to exfiltrate any meaningful data from it?
