50 years is a really good timeline for a time capsule. Close enough that parents or grandparents were there and lived it, far enough out that it’s decades before you existed.
Time capsules are never meant for the people who were there when they were sealed. That would defeat the purpose of a time capsule…
No shit you remember it. You were there. That’s the whole damn point. That there will be people around that lived it and can actually explain it all firsthand. That’s why they’re not super long-timeline things. It’s not for you. It’s nostalgia for the people that buried it, and a good passing down of information from generation to generation. But the primary point of time capsules are showing new generations history.
It’s like how the 90s are an exhibit at museums now. I took my kids to one. It was fun explaining all the shit they saw and thought was wild, because I lived it firsthand and it was just life.

It’ll be fun when it’s my grandkids too.
