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 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.

It’s a silly little thing a kid’s TV network did 31 years ago for kids. Calm down.

But all of those kids are adults now. And the kids who will see it opened have no clue what it is.

Yes. And?

Like the guy said, time capsules are pointless if the same people who made them are opening them. The kids who grew up aren’t kids anymore and the current kids won’t give a crap. Old stuff is lost on them. So basically this is for adults even though they have no personal connection to the time capsule.

It’s fun to reminisce on what the world was like when you were a kid. This is literally for those same kids, now that they’re adults. You may not hold any nostalgia but surely you can see the appeal of it.
Further, kids who do see it being opened will find it interesting. I was born right on the tail end of dial up and VHS but I remember thinking mums records and cassettes were, like, the coolest.
