Many years ago I came across a quarter that someone had nailed onto the sidewalk. In case someone's looking for a less disturbing but still fun easter egg to leave for future people.
I might shit my pants just a little if I saw this

If you use aquarium silicone adhesive, they won’t be damaged, the adhesive is weather proof, and the silicone gives a flex and wiggle that prevents sheering. We had a dime stuck to our porch for 8 years and when it finally came up, it was because the concrete had eroded underneath it.
My dad taught that one to me in high school. He stuck $1.50 in random change to the ground in front of the soda machine at the apartments he was groundskeeper for. On slow days he’d sit and watch the local kids try desperately to get a free soda with money they can’t pick up.

Cursed. I love it. Even if someone did get it it would be well earned too.

You’d think the local kids would know better.
It occurs to me this would work better at a motel.

Salesmen at a local car dealership would super glue quarters to the parking lot. The porters and/or customers would always try to pick them up, and it brought us so much joy to watch.

Nailed? Glue might be better. Like a gorilla glue or epoxy resin.

I feel like glue wouldn't last as long. I have no idea how long the nail was, but if it's a couple of inches deep I have no idea how you'd be able to get it off without an angle grinder. With glue you can chip it off, or use solvent, or a blowtorch.

Glue the finger rock to the ground, got it.

I’m here thinking that if I came across a severed finger, I wouldn’t pick it up…

Some boys have just the right combination of curiosity, mischief, carelessness, & lack of self-preservation instincts.

I hope a 1,000 yrs from now this same finger rock resurfaces on the interwebs 6.6.0.6 and scares the crap outta some cyberpunk kids.

1000 years from now, archeologists will dig it up and conclude it was likely used for ritual purposes.

1000 years from now the paint will be gone and it will be more interesting to geologists than archaeologists - assuming there are any -ologists (or humans) left at that point.

“My kinda people” 🤦
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Kinda = kind of, no?
Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Yes, but in this context, “kind” have a different meaning so you can’t use the contracted informal version of “kind of”. It’s like instead of saying
“oh how kind of you to hold the door for me”
You say: “oh how kinda you to hold the door for me”
It just doesn’t make sense.

I foresee this becoming a trend

Then you start hiding real bodies once people get used to the trend.

There are Facebook stone painting groups. They leave stones ranging from kitch to decent marked with the FB group and postcode and members are encouraged to pick some up and leave them along the trail on their next hike.

This pic is pretty old and it hasn’t happened yet. But I mean, be the change and all that.
